Unity3D go down on slopes with a animated character

I'm developping a 3D game Unity with a squirrel as the player.
I'm struggling with a problem of slopes. I know, there are a bunch of tutorial to go down a slope whithout 'floating in the air while walking' but I didn't find a fine solution. I think it's because of the horizontal animations of the squirrel (maybe). I have tried with addForce, with a modified speed, with gravity... (maybe I implemented it wrong). I know I can check if I'm in the air or not with CharacterController.isGrounded but I can't force the squirrel to stick on the slope while running or walking. I'm sorry by advance if my question is too vague or simple.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using System;
public class Squirrel : MonoBehaviour {
Animator squirrel;
public float gravity = 1.0f;
private Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero;
float axisH, axisV;
public static int munitions = 0;
Rigidbody rb;
[SerializeField]
float walkSpeed = 2f, runSpeed = 8f, rotSpeed = 100f, jumpForce = 350;
private bool isJumpKeyDown = false;
[SerializeField] bool isJumping = false;
Animator characterAnimator;
int JumpCount = 0;
public int MaxJumps = 1; //Maximum amount of jumps (i.e. 2 for double jumps)
[SerializeField] GameObject nb_munitions;
CharacterController characterController;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
munitions = 0;
squirrel = GetComponent<Animator>();
rb = GetComponentInChildren<Rigidbody>();
characterAnimator = GetComponent<Animator>();
JumpCount = MaxJumps;
characterController = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
GetInput();
nb_munitions.GetComponent<Text>().text = "Glands : " + munitions; //Affichage du score
Move();
}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
if (isJumpKeyDown)
{
squirrel.SetTrigger("jump");
JumpCount -= 1;
isJumpKeyDown = false;
}
}
public void GetInput()
{
axisV = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
axisH = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
}
private void Move()
{
if (characterController.isGrounded)
{
//On the ground
}
else
{
//on the air
}
if (axisV > 0)
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftControl))
{
transform.position += Vector3.forward * walkSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
squirrel.SetBool("walk", true);
}
else
{
transform.position += Vector3.forward * runSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
squirrel.SetFloat("run", axisV);
squirrel.SetBool("walk", false);
}
}
else
{
squirrel.SetFloat("run", 0);
}
if (axisH != 0 && axisV == 0)
{
squirrel.SetFloat("h", axisH);
}
else
{
squirrel.SetFloat("h", 0);
}
if (axisH != 0)
{
transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * rotSpeed * Time.deltaTime * axisH);
}
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
{
if (JumpCount > 0)
{
isJumpKeyDown = true;
}
}
//Call munitions
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftShift))
{
if (Squirrel.munitions > 0)
{
SpawnerScript.Instance.NewSpawnRequest();
munitions--;
}
}
}
}

You can try to get the angle of the slope and make it the pitch for the mesh of the squirrel.

I finally found the problem. My C# script "overwrited" the CharacterController and did not allow the squirrel to go down the slopes. Make sure you follow a move script that "respects" the CharacterController (if you pick one or you'll be fighting windmills).

transform.position doesn't move player

I have a Player (made out of an cylinder, some FirstCam, SecondCam and ThirdCam, for switching views when pressing a certain key - doesn't matter), which is located on a cube (wide enough to take a walk on it). There's nothing else below the cube.
This is how it looks like:
This is the Player's structure:
This is the inspector for Player:
I have the following script ResetToInitial.cs, attached to my Player:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class ResetToInitial : MonoBehaviour {
Vector3 pos;
void Start() {
pos = transform.position;
}
void Update() {
if (transform.position.y < -10) {
transform.position = pos;
}
}
}
and also some movement script PlayerMovement.cs that allows him to move up, down, left, right, jump and sprint.
This is PlayerMovement.cs:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using TMPro;
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour {
public CharacterController controller;
Vector3 velocity;
bool isGrounded;
public Transform groundCheck;
public LayerMask groundMask;
public TextMeshPro State;
public TextMeshPro State2;
public TextMeshPro State3;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start() {
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update() {
float groundDistance = 0.4f;
isGrounded = Physics.CheckSphere(groundCheck.position, groundDistance, groundMask);
if (isGrounded && velocity.y < 0) {
velocity.y = -2f;
}
float x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
float z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
float g = -20f;
float jumpHeight = 1f;
float speed = 6f;
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift)) {
speed = 8f;
State.text = "running mode";
State2.text = "running mode";
State3.text = "running mode";
} else {
speed = 5f;
State.text = "walking mode";
State2.text = "walking mode";
State3.text = "walking mode";
}
Vector3 move = transform.right * x + transform.forward * z;
controller.Move(move * speed * Time.deltaTime);
if (Input.GetButton("Jump") && isGrounded) {
velocity.y = Mathf.Sqrt(jumpHeight * -2f * g);
}
velocity.y += g * Time.deltaTime;
controller.Move(velocity * Time.deltaTime);
}
}
ResetToInitial.cs is intended to teleport the Player to the initial position (back on the cube, the position recorded when the scene loads), after he falls of the cube. The problem is transform.position won't move the player anywhere. It won't do anything. I tried to output something in the last if to see if it works, and the output was printed, but still no teleportation happened.
What could be the problem?

Character doesn't jump sometimes - Unity

I am new to Unity and I am using the following CharacterController for my character. Everything is working well, except that sometimes the character jumps and sometimes it doesn't when I hit the spacebar. I used Debog.Log using Raycast to check if my character is grounded, and the result was True. So what is preventing my character from jumping whenever I hit the key?
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
[RequireComponent(typeof(CharacterController))]
public class RPGMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public float ForwardSpeed = 8f;
public float BackwardSpeed = 4f;
public float StrafeSpeed = 5f;
public float RotateSpeed = 110f;
CharacterController m_CharacterController;
Vector3 m_LastPosition;

float m_AnimatorSpeed;
Vector3 m_CurrentMovement;
float m_CurrentTurnSpeed;

private bool groundedPlayer;
private float jumpHeight = 0.9f;
private float gravityValue = -20.81f;
void Start()
{
m_CharacterController = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
m_Animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
m_PhotonView = GetComponent<PhotonView>();
m_TransformView = GetComponent<PhotonTransformView>();
}
void Update()
{
if (m_PhotonView.isMine == true)
{
ResetSpeedValues();

}
void UpdateAnimation()
{
Vector3 movementVector = transform.position - m_LastPosition;
float speed = Vector3.Dot(movementVector.normalized, transform.forward);
float direction = Vector3.Dot(movementVector.normalized, transform.right);
if (Mathf.Abs(speed) < 0.2f)
{
speed = 0f;
}
if (speed > 0.6f)
{
speed = 1f;
direction = 0f;
}
if (speed >= 0f)
{
if (Mathf.Abs(direction) > 0.7f)
{
speed = 1f;
}
}
m_AnimatorSpeed = Mathf.MoveTowards(m_AnimatorSpeed, speed, Time.deltaTime * 5f);
m_Animator.SetFloat("Speed", m_AnimatorSpeed);
m_Animator.SetFloat("Direction", direction);
m_LastPosition = transform.position;
}
void ResetSpeedValues()
{
m_CurrentMovement = Vector3.zero;
m_CurrentTurnSpeed = 0;
}
void ApplySynchronizedValues()
{
m_TransformView.SetSynchronizedValues(m_CurrentMovement, m_CurrentTurnSpeed);
}
void MoveCharacterController()
{
m_CharacterController.Move(m_CurrentMovement * Time.deltaTime);
}
void UpdateForwardMovement()
{
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W) || Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") > 0.1f)
{
m_CurrentMovement = transform.forward * ForwardSpeed;
}
}
void UpdateBackwardMovement()
{
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S) || Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") < -0.1f)
{
m_CurrentMovement = -transform.forward * BackwardSpeed;
}
}
void UpdateStrafeMovement()
{

{
m_CurrentMovement = -transform.right * StrafeSpeed;
}
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E) == true)
{
m_CurrentMovement = transform.right * StrafeSpeed;
}
}
void UpdateRotateMovement()
{
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A) || Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") < -0.1f)
{
m_CurrentTurnSpeed = -RotateSpeed;
transform.Rotate(0.0f, -RotateSpeed * Time.deltaTime, 0.0f);
}
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D) || Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") > 0.1f)
{
m_CurrentTurnSpeed = RotateSpeed;
transform.Rotate(0.0f, RotateSpeed * Time.deltaTime, 0.0f);
}
}
void UpdateJump()
{
groundedPlayer = m_CharacterController.isGrounded;
if (groundedPlayer && playerVelocity.y < 0)
{
playerVelocity.y = 0f;
}
if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && groundedPlayer)
{
playerVelocity.y += Mathf.Sqrt(jumpHeight * -3.0f * gravityValue);
m_Animator.SetTrigger("Jump");
print("Jumping Now");
}
playerVelocity.y += gravityValue * Time.deltaTime;
m_CharacterController.Move(playerVelocity * Time.deltaTime);
}
}

Best guess is that "m_PhotonView.isMine" is not returning true on the frames where you're missing input. It only checks jump input for that frame, so if the last frame you pressed it but jumping wasn't checked then that input is lost forever. First test this. Change the update code to this:
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")) { Debug.Log("Jump was pressed at {Time.time}"); }
if (m_PhotonView.isMine == true)
{
if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")) { Debug.Log("Attempting Jump at {Time.time}"); }
ResetSpeedValues();
UpdateRotateMovement();
UpdateForwardMovement();
UpdateBackwardMovement();
UpdateStrafeMovement();
MoveCharacterController();
UpdateJump();
ApplySynchronizedValues();
}
UpdateAnimation();
}
Then play the game and jump a bunch. The first debug log line should happen every time you click the spacebar no matter what. The second debug line would only happen if physics are calculated that frame. Both have times attached. Keep jumping until the jump doesn't work. If that jump only produces the first debug log and not the second, then I am correct and that is your issue.
If so, then it's an easy fix. Add a new bool variable called "jumpInput". Whenever you check if jump was pressed, instead check if "jumpInput" is true. Then, change update to this:
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")) { jumpInput = true; }
if (m_PhotonView.isMine == true)
{
ResetSpeedValues();
UpdateRotateMovement();
UpdateForwardMovement();
UpdateBackwardMovement();
UpdateStrafeMovement();
MoveCharacterController();
UpdateJump();
ApplySynchronizedValues();
jumpInput = false;
}
UpdateAnimation();
}
This way if you pressed jump, it's set to true... but it's only set to false after physics are done. So if you press jump on frame 20 and physics are somehow not calculated until frame 25, it'll still know that you pressed jump at some point and thus execute it. If you're using networking, you might want to also have another variable that's what frame jump was pressed. That way you can figure out how many frames it's been since input and compensate for missed time in the jump if necessary.

Unity jumping fails while going against a wall

Okay im trying to make my object (player) to jump everything is okay until i go against a wall and keep going against (still W is down) i cant jump wen im hitting a wall if i stop walking he will be enable to jump i tried making the walls on touch to make the player to have velocity = zero but it does not work,
i tried to add rigid body to the walls and freezing them in place, trying to make them kinematic does not work too .
I wish wen i go against walls and keep walking against them to be enable to jump.
If you know how i can do that please share thanks .
Here is the move script:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class MoveScript : MonoBehaviour {
private float speed;
private float jumpHight;
private float straffeSpeed;
private float fallMultiplier;
private Rigidbody rig;
private Collider coll;
// Use this for initialization
private void Awake()
{
rig = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
coll = GetComponent<Collider>();
straffeSpeed = 1.5f;
fallMultiplier = 2.5f;
speed = 10f;
jumpHight = 4f;
}
void Start () {
GroundCheck();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
Move();
GroundCheck();
BetterFall();
}
private void Move()
{
float hAxis = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * straffeSpeed;
float vAxis = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
Vector3 movement = new Vector3(hAxis, 0, vAxis) * speed * Time.deltaTime;
rig.MovePosition(transform.position + movement);
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space) && GroundCheck())
{
rig.velocity = Vector3.up * jumpHight;
}
}
private bool GroundCheck()
{
return Physics.Raycast(transform.position, -Vector3.up, coll.bounds.extents.y + 0.2f);
}
private void BetterFall()
{
if(rig.velocity.y < 0)
{
rig.velocity += Vector3.up * Physics.gravity.y * (fallMultiplier - 1) * Time.deltaTime;
}
}

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && GroundCheck())
{
rig.velocity = Vector3.up * jumpHight;
}
I don't think you are doing this quite right. Try this:
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && GroundCheck())
{
rig.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpHight, ForceMode.Impulse);
}
:-)

Issue with flipping sprite in Unity 2D

I'm new to unity and I was following a youtube guide on scripting a 2D platformer, I have gotten to the point now where I am trying to add a flip to the sprite when I turn to go in the opposite direction.
I have added a code and now this is constantly flipping left to right. If I understand correctly its probably because I am constantly applying > 0.1f when moving resulting in the function to continuously run but honestly I am lost so any help would be appreciated.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
[RequireComponent (typeof (Controller2D))]
public class Player : MonoBehaviour {
public float jumpHeight = 4;
public float timeToJumpApex = .4f;
float accelerationTimeAirbourne = .2f;
float acceleratinTimeGrounded =.1f;
public float moveSpeed = 6;
float jumpVelocity;
float gravity;
Vector3 velocity;
float velocityXSmoothing;
Controller2D controller;
void Start(){
controller = GetComponent<Controller2D>();
gravity = -(2 * jumpHeight) / Mathf.Pow (timeToJumpApex, 2);
jumpVelocity = Mathf.Abs(gravity) * timeToJumpApex;
print ("gravity: " + gravity + " Jump Velocity: " + jumpVelocity);
}
void Update(){
if (controller.collisions.above || controller.collisions.above) {
velocity.y = 0;
}
Vector2 input = new Vector2 (Input.GetAxisRaw ("Horizontal"),
Input.GetAxisRaw ("Vertical"));
if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space) && controller.collisions.below) {
velocity.y = jumpVelocity;
}
float targetVelocityX = input.x * moveSpeed;
velocity.x = Mathf.SmoothDamp(velocity.x, targetVelocityX, ref
velocityXSmoothing, (controller.collisions.below)?
acceleratinTimeGrounded:accelerationTimeAirbourne);
velocity.y += gravity * Time.deltaTime;
controller.Move(velocity * Time.deltaTime);
}
void FixedUpdate(){
if ((Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") > 0.1f && this.transform.localScale.x != 1)
|| (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") < -0.1f && this.transform.localScale.x !=
-1))
{
flip();
}
}
void flip()
{
this.transform.localScale = new Vector3(this.transform.localScale.x *
-1,
this.transform.localScale.y, this.transform.localScale.z);
}
}

Your error is here
void FixedUpdate(){
if ((Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") > 0.1f && this.transform.localScale.x != 1)|| (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") < -0.1f && this.transform.localScale.x !=
-1)){
flip();
}
}
After you flip, the condition still evaluates to true. You will need a boolean hasflipped to check if you have already flipped, and if you have don't flip again :)
Fixed update is causing this check to happen once per frame, so you're going to get a bunch of flickering as your sprite flips every frame, unless you specify only to flip once
