how do i add force in world space, in the direction an object is facing?
« on: October 22, 2019, 04:47:50 PM »
i prefer the way force is applied consistently without regard to the objects rotation in world space, how do i apply force in world space in the direction a physics object is facing? i can use local space but for what i'm doing i would really prefer to use world space.

Hi.
Actually you need to set the space to self then.
As then it will depend on the objects rotation.

Any reason why you prefer using world space?

Hi,

Use TransformDirection and InverseTransformdirection to go from local to world space or the inverse, this what you need to get a world based force for a given object.

Bye,
