Creatures.CreatureController Class Reference

Description

Component to control the locomotion of a Creature.

Using this component the creature can walk around with 3 degrees of freedom:

• forward
• sideward
• rotation The motions can be controller using input actions (moveAction, rotateAction) or using code by calling one of the Move functions

Unity Properties

• CreatureController.movedBy
• CreatureController.moveAction
• CreatureController.rotateAction
• CreatureController.speed

Public Types
enum	Mode { Animator , Transform , External }
	Mode for controlling the creature transform. More...

Public Member Functions
void	Move (Vector2 linear, float angular)
	Move the creature.
void	MoveByAnimator (Vector2 linear, float angular)
	Move the creature using the animator directly.
void	MoveByTransform (Vector2 linear, float angular)
	Move the creature using the Rigidbody or Transform.
void	MoveExternal ()
	Move the creature by moving the Transform directly.

Public Attributes
Mode	movedBy
	Set the mode for controlling animations and movements.
InputActionReference	moveAction
	The input action for linear motion.
InputActionReference	rotateAction

float	speed = 1
	The maximum linear locomotion speed in m/s.

Protected Member Functions
virtual void	Awake ()
	Unity calls Awake when loading an instance of a script component.
virtual void	OnEnable ()
	Called by Unity when a component of an active GameObject is first enabled.
virtual void	OnDisable ()
	Called by Unity when a component itself is disabled or its parent GameObject is deactivated.
virtual void	Update ()
	Update is called by Unity every frame, if the MonoBehaviour is enabled.

Protected Attributes

	The (optional) animator for the animations.

Member Enumeration Documentation

Mode

enum Creatures.CreatureController.Mode

Mode for controlling the creature transform.

Enumerator
Animator	Animations move the transform.
Transform	Transform movements drive the animations.
External	The movements are done externally, animations will follow.

Member Function Documentation

Move()

void Creatures.CreatureController.Move	(	Vector2	linear,
		float	angular )

Move the creature.

Parameters

linear	The desired 2D linear velocity
angular	The desired angular velocity around the vertical axis

If the creature has a non-Kinematic Rigidbody the Mode.External is always chosen

MoveByAnimator()

void Creatures.CreatureController.MoveByAnimator	(	Vector2	linear,
		float	angular )

Move the creature using the animator directly.

Parameters

linear	The desired 2D linear velocity
angular	The desired angular velocity around the vertical axis

This bypasses the CreatureController.movedBy parameter and will also work when a non-kinematic Rigidbody is present

MoveByTransform()

void Creatures.CreatureController.MoveByTransform	(	Vector2	linear,
		float	angular )

Move the creature using the Rigidbody or Transform.

Parameters

linear	The desired 2D linear velocity
angular	The desired angular velocity around the vertical axis

If a Rigidbody is present, Rigidbody::Move is used. If not, Transform::Translate and Transform::Rotate are used

When using a Rigidbody, call this function from UnityEngine::FixedUpdate.
