Hello,

I have recently begun making a space simulator game, and have had trouble making a character controller that can be used by both the AI and the player. My previous controllers stored the target angle in a quaternion where the ship would gradually turn towards it until the angles match (For players this value would be adjusted using Input.GetAxis).

However, I had difficulty implementing angular acceleration as well as limiting the maximum turning rate of the ship. How would I go about making a controller with these features in JavaScript?

edit:

Here is my code that works properly, but i have had trouble adapting it for the AI. How could I make it work while keeping the same turning speed? Any suggestions are welcome.

 var targetAngleY:float = 0.0; //ship's yaw axis
 var targetAngleX:float = 0.0; //ship's pitch axis
 var targetAngleZ:float = 0.0; //ship's roll axis

 var turnspeed:float = 0.25;

 var inertiaFactor:float = 92.0;

function Update () {
 Lookat();
}

function Lookat () {

 if (transform.gameObject.tag == "Player") { //if player is piloting

 targetAngleY += (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")) * (turnspeed);
     targetAngleX += (Input.GetAxis("Vertical")) * (turnspeed);
     targetAngleZ += (Input.GetAxis("Roll")) * (turnspeed) ;

     targetAngleY *= (inertiaFactor / 100);
     targetAngleX *= (inertiaFactor / 100);
     targetAngleZ *= (inertiaFactor / 100);

 transform.Rotate(targetAngleX, targetAngleY, targetAngleZ);
 }

 else { //if AI is piloting

 } 
}
