[QUOTE=Zero Vector;42770030]This is fun! But what is this?

Nothing happens when I hit it.[/QUOTE]

Planned obstacle that I forgot to take out, just had a test model at the start. Will probably add it after work, currentI plan is to partly slow you down and stop you earning points from gates for a short period

Bought UFPS and Daikon Forge in preparation for my Oculus Rift arriving soon.

Make an FPS inspired by Hollywood action films - camera shaking, lots of lens flares, lots of explosions, and plenty more. It'd be like walking through a real set.

Good god, why is it so difficult to make a player not slide on a moving planet without breaking all kinds of other shit.

Anyone used [url=http://fernandoribeirogames.wix.com/umabeta]UMA[/url] before? Still in Beta, but apparently it'll be a completely free asset when its finished.

Hmm, I don't know how your project is set up but what about something simple:

private bool planetCollision = false;

void OnCollisionEnter (collider other) {
     if(other.collider.tag == "planet") {
          planetCollision = true;
     }
}

void Update () {
     if(planetCollision == true) {
          rigidbody.velocity = Vector3.zero;
          // OR if you want the object to rotate with the planet insert it here.
     }

     if(Input.GetKey("insert acceleration key here")) {
          planetCollision = false;
          // Insert move script here
     }
}

I haven't tested the script, but the idea should be somewhat functional. Again I don't know how your game works so this is simple a shot in the dark.

Just noticed that it's probably not what you were asking, so this might be irrelevant. If so just ignore.

Ok so here's a video of most of the issues with it right now:

I think you should look at the MVC pattern, it would apply well to this imo.

Any unrelated tips or suggestions on coding techniques/methods?[/QUOTE]

You can try adding some print messages in OnCollisionEnter and OnCollisionExit to see when they're called.

Suggestion:
You don't need the planet rotation when you accelerate, right?
You can then try to delete OnCollisionExit and set isOnMovingPlanet to false in the accelerate key's function like I suggested last post.

void Update () {
     if(Input.GetKey("insert acceleration key here")) {
          isOnMovingPlanet = false;
          // Insert velocity changes from OnCollisionExit here
     }
}

If you're able to accelerate while the OnCollisionEnter function is still true, inserting isOnMovingPlanet = true in OnCollisionStay might help (or make it worse).

Now I'm trying to find workarounds, and there might be better ways to do it but that is what I can come up with right now given the current information and time usage. If you are willing, try it and feedback.

Use WASD or the arrow keys to move.
Spacebar to jump, and k to dash

Using this font [url]http://fontawesome.io/cheatsheet/[/url] with dfGUI's dynamic font system gives you a ton of useful vector icons to use.. it's quite pleasing :)

I am loving daikon forge so much more than NGUI at the moment, can build a menu system really easily and don't have to mess around with anchors as much for scaling.

Another asset I've just started using is SoundManagerPro, great and easy pooling system for Music or SFX, really easy to get sound incorporated with very little scripting needed. There's a free version to try it on the appstore, full version is about $15 (mainly removes watermark). I'd recommend giving the free version a try.

Wow, daikon forge really brought something to your game.

Also I had unity crash when clicking main menu after finishing a track.

Hmm, didn't do that for me but I have had some weird crashes, and it seems to be related to daikon forge. I've had disabled panels that when clicked on cause crashes, not sure if it's something to do with the 'Interactive' option.

Actually, I think it had to do with my screenshot saving script, I forgot to add a check to see if the game was running in webplayer as it uses System.IO

Alright, so opinion people. The problem I had with the previous way the world curves is that as the game gets faster, it gets harder to know what is coming. I had the thought of either going for a marker that generates before the object shows up, or changing the view. So I tried this new view which allows me to set the level generation so you can go faster and still see what's coming up.

I haven't move the gui / backdrop so I know about the problem of them being there. And for aesthetic, the sunset backdrop won't be the only one, planning a few different map styles. Let me know if you think this looks better.

Much better, but the perpetual left turn is strange if the background doesn't move.

Maybe you could make it like these old racing games with gentle turns that push you towards on side of the road once in a while.

The background kinda moves, all rigged to move left or right with the sun continually going down, can increase the speed on all of them though. Each background piece is it's own object, so can have them do what they want.

If I keep it this way I will eventually have the curve change, it's just tricky as the road and every object is using a shader that makes it look curved, everything is technically sitting on a y plane of 0. Other possibility is I just have the road going dead straight but still curved up, and still have the background move.

Spent all day texturing a planet model a made a while back. First time texturing a model.

I wouldn't want to orbit a planet like that, the gravity shifting must be hell :v:
Anyways awesome work and did you fix the stuttering problem?

[QUOTE=Fixed;42817722]I wouldn't want to orbit a planet like that, the gravity shifting must be hell :v:

Just finished implementing your suggestion on the last page and it fixes some of the problems like the sticky planets and the liftoff velocity stutter. But I'm still having problems with planets orbiting another moving planet. I've been giving some thought to using reference frames and getting rid of having to land on moving planets altogether; that is, the game will freeze the planet with the highest gravitational pull (or the closest planet) and move everything else in the scene around it.

As far as I know, this is by far the best way to do it.

Finally I abandoned the boring default night skybox in Unity, and made this one:

That skybox looks really nice. Is there a sun? Because now the lighting of the landscape looks odd.

No sun yet, but I'm gonna work on that.
Also I tried to resize Earth a little bit, but it ended up looking square-ish, but what do you say is it too big?
