Sin movement on Y-Axis

I have my player flying through the scene correctly but would like to add a very minimal vertical Sin movement to the y-axis...so it looks like it's floating a little while flying (should go back and forth from moving up and down)

Any help would be appreciated as I keep hitting a dead end.

 

So basically I want to get rid of the counter and transforming the position by 0.1 all the time and replace it with an appropriate sin value.

private var hCtr = 0;
function Hover()
{
if(hCtr >= 10)
{
transform.position.y -= (transform.position.y * 0.1) * Time.deltaTime;
if(hCtr >= 20)
{
hCtr = 0;
}
}
else
{
transform.position.y += (transform.position.y * 0.1) * Time.deltaTime;
}

hCtr++;
}

 

try something like

var amplitude:float;
var frequency:float;

transform.position += amplitude*(Mathf.Sin(2*Mathf.PI*frequency*Time.time) - Mathf.Sin(2*Mathf.PI*frequency*(Time.time - Time.deltaTime)))*transform.up;

might be further optimizable.

 

Matt...you rock!!

This is exactly what I was looking for

Mucho Thanks!!

 

Thanks That helped

 

It's 2022 and you still rock Matt! Thanks.
