Question by thendricks · Sep 09, 2012 at 05:43 PM · rotationmovementspaceship

How do I create a spaceship

Iv'e been looking for ages and I can't find a spaceship script that will control my spaceship(the kind of spaceship I want is like the one on starwars battle front without the roll). I only need the spaceship to be-able to move (not shoot).(W = up, A = left, space = thrust...etc)

Why are you not trying to script it instead of looking? You'll mostly just need to understand rigidbodies and their functions.

Try something like this:

 //amount to move player
 amtToMove = playerSpeed * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime;
 
 //move/translate player
 transform.Translate(Vector3.right * amtToMove);

The above will move the spaceship/player up. Apply this same kind of thing to all four directions in the update function. playerSpeed is defined by you.
