Shake an object from script

There's someone who can help me shaking an object using script?

 

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var speed = 1.0f; //how fast it shakes
3. var amount = 1.0f; //how much it shakes
4.  
5. function Update()
6. {
7.   transform.position.x = Mathf.Sin(Time.time * speed) * amount;
8. }
9.  

 

Worked great for me, Thanks!

 

thank you!
the only problem is it only vibrates in 0 axis.

 

this One is perfect, fully gameObject shake, and it will starts at the axis of your gameObject not in zero

Vector2 startingPos;

void Awake () {
startingPos.x = transform.position.x;
startingPos.y = transform.position.y;
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {

gamObject.tranform.position.x = startingPos.x + Mathf.Sin(Time.time * speed) * amount );

gamObject.tranform.position.y = startingPos.y + (Mathf.Sin(Time.time * speed) * amount) );

}

 

I've found many spelling errors in this.

 

the logic is whats important

 

Here's one:
https://gist.github.com/st4rdog/82a4d99c4f6eb59efa162a05ec62163b

Code (csharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class ShakeTransformS : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.    [Header("Info")]
7.    private Vector3 _startPos;
8.    private float _timer;
9.    private Vector3 _randomPos;
10.  
11.    [Header("Settings")]
12.    [Range(0f, 2f)]
13.    public float _time = 0.2f;
14.    [Range(0f, 2f)]
15.    public float _distance = 0.1f;
16.    [Range(0f, 0.1f)]
17.    public float _delayBetweenShakes = 0f;
18.  
19.    private void Awake()
20.    {
21.        _startPos = transform.position;
22.    }
23.  
24.    private void OnValidate()
25.    {
26.        if (_delayBetweenShakes > _time)
27.            _delayBetweenShakes = _time;
28.    }
29.  
30.    public void Begin()
31.    {
32.        StopAllCoroutines();
33.        StartCoroutine(Shake());
34.    }
35.  
36.    private IEnumerator Shake()
37.    {
38.        _timer = 0f;
39.  
40.        while (_timer < _time)
41.        {
42.            _timer += Time.deltaTime;
43.  
44.            _randomPos = _startPos + (Random.insideUnitSphere * _distance);
45.  
46.            transform.position = _randomPos;
47.  
48.            if (_delayBetweenShakes > 0f)
49.            {
50.                yield return new WaitForSeconds(_delayBetweenShakes);
51.            }
52.            else
53.            {
54.                yield return null;
55.            }
56.        }
57.  
58.        transform.position = _startPos;
59.    }
60.  
61. }

You have to call Begin() to start it.

 

Anyone want to tell a C# newbie how to call Begin()? I'm a little lost, I'd be grateful to be able to actually use this seemingly well-developed script.

 

Wherever in your code you want to start the shaking behavior you would put

Code (csharp):

1. Begin();

It could be in code which is part of an explosion. It can be called from a button. It can be called when you have a dinosaur start walking. Etc, etc, etc.

 

So this is a globally-accessible function, huh? I just need the function name alone? Do I want to name it something other than Begin?

And thank you.

 

I tried this, but it won't work in Unity 2019.
I kept getting the error cannot modify the return value of 'Transform.position' because it is not a variable.

To make it work I had to assign the x, y, z positions to float variables and then use a vector3 assignment as in the following ex.

Code (CSharp):

1.                        
2.       float x = obj.transform.position.x * Mathf.Sin(Time.time * .1f) * .1f;
3.       float y = obj.transform.position.y;
4.       float z = obj.transform.position.z;
5.  
6. // Then assign a new vector3
7.       gameObject.transform.position = new Vector3 (x, y, z);
8.  

 

This code is working when I am applying this script onto my car body. But there is a problem. when I press the gas pedal the body remains stationary and the wheels move in the forward direction. Maybe because uneven contact between wheel colliders and box collider (of car body) ... I need a solution for this .. pls help

 

Works really fine! Worked better for me when I put
_startPos = transform.position;
inside the Begin() function instead of Awake
