Buoyant Script

Buoyant script is a relatively simple, and very cheap (both in price and performance-wise!) C# based buoyancy script utilizing Unity3D's physics engine and capabilities to give physics-enabled objects buyoancy, or in case of heavier objects, relatively realistic water resistances.

 

Feature shortlist:

• Simple basic implementation with the possibility of more advanced settings and tweaking

 

• Comprehensive documentation, thoroughly commented code and custom editor script with built-in hideable instructions

 

• Capable of floating even complex shapes semi-realistically

 

• Ability to support multiple levels of water, not just one!

 

• Support for simple, "base-level" water, for scenes where there's always water at a set height.

 

• Ability to shift object's center of mass on runtime to make modifications on how it floats, how stable it is, and more!

 

• Built-in performance vs. accuracy variables for buoyancy simulation

 

• Ability to set objects to have different physical drag and angular drag when they're in water, and out of it

 

• Performance-cheap wave simulation without 3D water

 

• Toggleable sinking/unstable-states for objects! (Can be modified to support damage systems et.c.)

 

• Support for 3D waters that report wave heights, such as Unity Community Ocean! (Only requires uncommenting relevant code, and modifying if necessary)

 

• Completely modifiable code for implementing/changing features of the script!

 

• Works with Unity Free version
