[Unity 4] Floating physics objects (JavaScript)

In this tutorial I show you how to create floating physics objects on water within Unity3D. This is to follow my previous physics tutorials, and basically shows floating objects, the script is written in Javascript.

This script works great for emulating floating physics and is surprisingly simple. Well done.

A few tips for implementing this:
- Run the loop update on the body of water instead of items
- You will probably need to seriously tweak the values for items you add
- Doable with 2D (currently using and it works fine, just modify to use y axis)

You could still change the drag for the underwater part of the object. But great work. Thank you for these underwater tutorials, they are incredibly useful!

wow, that scene of your looks gorgeous with the color of the tiles.

not sure if you have a vid of it but could you try do interactive water like you walk in it and waves come off you and stuff like that?

"says javascript in the title"

hey man! im struggeling with making a boat float that is driveabel i would love if you would make a tutorial about that

[bastelbudi]

your tutorials are so easy and clean. well done dude! and pls continue the survival series!

[glitchrigors]

Hey Bud Hope your doing great from you surgery. Just wondering if you had a way to do this in c# yet? thanks

[MerriemWeebster]

Why the hell did I not watch this before! Freaking helped a lot!

Hi! I create my personal water (a plane with transparent water texture), and I need to floating objects on she. So, what I need to change in this script to do this? Instand of "waterlevel" I need to write the name of my water, like "Plane" or "Ocean"?

I don't understand yet the scripts in Unity.
Thanks!
Sorry for my bad english!

Love the accent





and the video. Thanks!

[HovdyBrovdy]

Great tutorial! Thank you for this! One of my favorite tutors!

if i wanted to pass the y position  of my water into the water level variable what would i need to do sorry im new to js  also what would i do if i want the object to just float in water as this dosent seem to work in 4.5

Is there any way to make it so the water sound is only played when the barrel hits the water?  When I knock over my barrel on the ground, it plays automatically.

[MaurerEdits]

Awesome!!!, but here's one I've got, when you pushed that barrel into the water and it made a splash sound effect but it didn't make any water splashes, can u make a tutorial on making water splashes when an object hits the water.

[AlphaCollectorCZ]

This is great, however I suck at coding and I cant find the error.. Im using unity 5.6 do you think you could place a link with the finished script which I can just copy in my file please? This is exactly what I was looking for! Great tutorial, but pls help :D

[TheBcoolGuy]

Momentum isn't accounted for in this script, so now I have InfiniBarrel! Funny, but not quite what I'm looking for. I know this is an old video, but could you help me out?

[AlanjGames]

Thanks a lot! I could use this in my game! :D

Is there a chance that you could make a level design/ lighting tutorial? Your levels always looks so good, but I can never make mine as good as yours.
