How To Create A PID Controller In Unity
#unity3d
I had the sudden urge to make a missile in Unity, but to spice it up I thought it would be cool to make a PID controller. Also, it would be a pretty boring Unity tutorial if it was just about a missile moving toward a target now wouldn’t it? Even though that is exactly what it is.
Anyway, I did some research and found this really great post (https://forum.unity.com/threads/rigid...) on the Unity forums by Brian Stone, who does a really great job of explaining how PID controllers work, and even provides and awesome example project which makes use of a spaceship.
I adapted Brians code to work in 3 dimensions, and applied it to this missile that I modelled in blender, I think it works pretty well, a part from the random axis issues I’ve been having, but I’m sure I’ll be able to sort that out in the future.
