Mover Component

A mover component set to move an object upwards at 1 unit per second.

The mover component is a gameplay component that applies motion to an object constantly over time.

All directions and rotations are in local object space, not world space. This means if the mover component is set to move an object up, but it has been rotated so that it's up points in a new direction, then it will move in that direction, and not necessarily towards the sky.

Example Usage

Simple rotating object

This component offers a simple way to make something rotate around an axis at a constant rate. For more advanced rotation, use a Simple Animator Component.

Use with other components

This component is best used when combined with other components in unique ways. When making something move, to make it stop moving you can use Actions to destroy the object or disable this component. Otherwise it will continue moving for the duration of the minigame.

You could combine a Mover with a trigger to build a battle royale style boundary. Create four walls that slowly move towards the center of the scene. The walls can have triggers attached to the inside that kills players who touch it, forcing players to move to the center of the scene.
