How to make physics based top-down movement?

CFOE90

I need to make one for a game, and it want it to feel satisfying to control. The controls in Brawl Stars (on mobile) are pretty much what I aim for.

I watched Brackey's tutorial on top-down movement, but he doesn't make it physics based (acceleration and deceleration).

Can someone help me?

Greetings,

I think you'll need to find the controls section, and replace the acceleration/decel areas with physics based code, such as the examples found here: https://playerone-studio.com/simple-physics-unitys-ecs-basic-movement

Keep on Creating!

Well, you can do it from code. Physics.gravity returns you a Vector3 which is (0f , -9.81f, 0f) as default. You can change its parameters in code. For example if you want a gravity from top side of your game you can change Physics.gravity = new Vector(0f , 9.81f , 0f); as you can see just change default values sign.

If you want that smooth, satisfying feel like in Brawl Stars, you’ll need proper acceleration, deceleration, and a bit of drag. Brackeys’ tutorial is a good start, but you’ll have to expand it with physics-based movement. Think Rigidbody forces instead of direct velocity changes. That’s exactly how games with tight controls achieve that polished feel just like when you go for a Brawl Stars top up and expect everything to respond instantly.
