Unity Movement [RigidBody vs Translate]

In this video I go over a few methods on how to move a player or an object around the screen. I think share my thoughts on which method is best for each use.
============
In this video I discuss:
0:28 - Moving An Object Using Translate
2:20 - Problems with using Translate
2:50 - Using RigidBody for Physics & Collisions
5:00 - 3 Ways to Move An Object with RigidBody
5:10 - Using AddForce()
6:15 - Using Velocity
7:05 - Using MovePosition

This is the first tutorial I've seen that shows the difference between RB and translate since I started using unity a year ago. Thanks.

To stop objects from moving through colliders when moving at a fast pace you can set the objects rigid body's collision detection from discrete to continuous. It's more performance heavy which is why it's not the default.

Thanks, man this helps me. By giving an example for each method it really helps me to understand when to use them.

I've seen a lot of rigidbody lesson on both unity official tutorials and youtube but this is the best well explained and distilled version ever! Keep on your journey, I'll be following!

You know whats more fun then finding which is best for your game? Finding out that apparently none of them will work.

This is what a tutorial should look like. Been searching for a simple and well detailed answer for eternity and i got even more confused each time, but finally, I got a good answer. Thanks man 👌🏾

This video is a gift from heaven.
I just started unity a week back and my script is super complicated because i never knew how to do movement, so I experimented.

This REALLY helps a lot! Thank you!

This video help me so much. On youtube people only show how to move player but they don’t explain the different between these . Thank you so much !!

[hershmysson]

Oh my god you explained all of this SOOO well, dude thanks

[majora]

This was information I needed for a long time. I kept trying to have the translate behavior, while avoiding clipping issues. I couldn't find an answer until your video. Thank you.

[coldxcalculated]

Sir, please make more of these. As a complete beginner your way of describing makes so much sense than the traditional “ follow me” tutorials where when you finish you are just as clueless if not more than when you began

bro MovePosition is a life saver it is weird that after 1year of struggling i still hadn't heard of it. You are in need of this movement system 7:09

This video is the best explained video on the subject that I've ever seen. Even my teacher in college didn't explained that well. This will help me alot, thanks

[Borna]

Thank you so much, I've been through about 50 videos today - no luck untill I found this one, god bless man <3

[bimokayoba]

i started learn unity from 2019 when i was 10 years old, and i wasn't know this, Thanks a lot ❤❤

[ingvmbv]

Pretty good explanation, now I understand why there are so many ways to move a gameObject

[Sakros]

8:06 if you turn the collision detection in the Rigidbody componont from "Discrete" to "Continous" this won't happen. Nice Video :D

[amandachristina]

This is the most helpful character movement video I've ever seen. Thank you!

[carlosjunod]

nobody could explain it better, keep with this tutorials pls

[drominus]

Easily the best rigidbody vs translate explanation of why you'd use one over the other and simple examples without needless complication. thank you!
