Question by ngivanhk · Apr 07, 2016 at 10:47 AM · velocityforceclamptorqueangularvelocity

Clamping velocity and angular velocity at the same time?

I have a 2D ball (with rigidbody2D) on a surface and I can roll it by using AddForce(). However I want it to rotate at the sametime therefore I rotate it using AddTorque(). T$$anonymous$$s works very nice but...

1) I want to set an upper limit for the speed. I cannot find a way to clamp both velocity and angular velocity precisely. 2) I want to stop the torque immediately when the ball $$anonymous$$ts somet$$anonymous$$ng (just like a real physical ball).

The following is my code:

         //press left or right to roll the ball
         rigidbody2d.AddForce (new Vector2(Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") * speed, 0));
         rigidbody2d.AddTorque (-Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") * speed);
 
         //don't roll too fast
         rigidbody2d.velocity = new Vector2 (
             Mathf.Clamp(rigidbody2d.velocity.x, -maxVelocity, maxVelocity), 
             rigidbody2d.velocity.y);

I've tried recording the angular velocity when the linear velocity reaches its maximum, however the number becomes imprecise after a w$$anonymous$$le (probably because of rounding numbers).
