I am extremely new to both Unity and C# and have been working on it for a few days. I'm currently trying to stop my player from sliding and to do this I've set the friction value of the players material high so that it doesn't slide. This however creates an issue where my character travels entirely too fast. To get around this I created a child object with a BoxCollider2D tagged as Friction Controller that I can modify. I get a code that changes the friction value of the physics material to 0 when i start moving and 100 when am supposed to stop. The problem is that while this updates the material itself it does not affect the box colliders settings. Does anybody know a solution for this?
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using UnityEngine;
public class Player_Movement : MonoBehaviour
{
GameObject frictionController;
public BoxCollider2D collider;
public float speed = 400f;
public float jumpForce;
private float friction;
private Rigidbody2D rb2d;
private bool isMoving;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
rb2d = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void FixedUpdate()
{
float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
Vector2 movement = new Vector2(moveHorizontal,0);
rb2d.AddForce(movement * speed);
}
void Update()
{
frictionController = GameObject.FindWithTag("Friction Controller");
collider = frictionController.GetComponent<BoxCollider2D>();
if (Input.GetKey("a") || (Input.GetKey("d")))
{
{ Debug.Log("Pressed Button"); }
collider.sharedMaterial.friction = 0;
} else { collider.sharedMaterial.friction = 100; }
///This part isn't complete yet
float moveVertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
Vector2 jump = new Vector2(0, moveVertical);
if (Input.GetKeyDown("space"))
{
rb2d.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpForce);
}
}
}
I'm not sure that your approach is a particularly good one and is likely to give you problems later on. Since you're using the physics system, a better approach would be to apply a force to your Rigidbody that is the OPPOSITE of its velocity when want it to come to a stop.
Nevertheless here is a solution that effectively does what you want to do using a similar approach to what you're attempting. Rather than manipulating the physics material properties, this solution manipulates the drag value of the rigidbody.
public class Player_Movement : MonoBehaviour
{
private Rigidbody2D rb2d;
private float speed = 100f;
void Start()
{
rb2d = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ();
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
Vector2 movement = new Vector2(moveHorizontal,0);
rb2d.AddForce(movement * speed);
}
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A) || (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D)))
{
rb2d.drag = 5; // Adjust this value to modify speed
}
else
{
rb2d.drag = 100; // Adjust this value to modify slippery-ness
}
}
}

I have a player in unity with the movement controlled by a rigidbody. The movement on the Z axis is kept contstant by the game to keep the player moving forward. However, this means that the rigidbody keeps speeding up so its speed at the start of the game is much slower than the speed at the end of the game. Here is my script:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
public class Controller : MonoBehaviour
{
[Tooltip("Rigidbody component attached to the player")]
public Rigidbody rb;
public float forwardMax;
public float slowBy;
private float movementX;
private float movementY;
private float gravity = -9.81f;
private bool isJumping = false;
private bool isSlowing = false;
private bool isSpeeding = false;
private float speedX = 100;
private float speedY = 150000;
private float speedZ = 60;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}
void Update()
{
// if(!controller.isGrounded)
// {
// Vector3 gravityVector = new Vector3(0.0f, gravity, 0.0f);
// rb.AddForce(gravityVector * Time.deltaTime);
// }
}
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
{
// SceneManager.LoadScene(1);
}
// Update is called once per frame
void OnMove(InputValue movementValue)
{
Vector2 movementVector = movementValue.Get<Vector2>();
movementX = movementVector.x;
movementY = movementVector.y;
}
void OnJump()
{
isJumping = true;
}
void CalculateMovement()
{
if(rb.velocity.z > 20)
{
rb.drag = 20;
}
else
{
rb.drag = 0;
}
Vector3 movement = new Vector3(movementX * speedX, 0.0f, speedZ);
if(isJumping)
{
movement.y += Mathf.Sqrt(speedY * -3.0f * gravity);
isJumping = false;
}
rb.AddForce(movement);
Debug.Log("Speed is " + rb.velocity.z);
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
CalculateMovement();
}
}
Is there a way to keep the forward velocity constant? The problem is worse when the player jumps.
First I tried clamping the forward (z-axis) vector but that had no effect. Then, I tried adding a backward vector onto the total when the forward velocity was above a certain number but this led to it speeding up and slowing down all the time. Then I tried the same thing with the drag on the rigidbody but that had the same effect.
You can use rigidbody.velocity and set it to constant value or whatever you want instead of adding force. By adding force, your character's speed increases.
Also you can use AddForce but you have to tune the force value dynamically according to the current velocity.
rigidbody velocity
How about directly setting the z value you want at the end of FixedUpdate() ?
......
void FixedUpdate()
{
CalculateMovementWithoutZMovement();
rb.velocity = new Vector3 (rb.velocity.x, rb.velocity.y, ConstantZValue);
}
I've been trying various fixes for days now and I cannot figure this out. I need a bullet to spawn and move until collision, but I cannot even get it to move (it spawns just fine). Note: This is a 2D game.
Here is my code:
public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour
{
public float timeBetweenFire = 2;
public Rigidbody2D bullet;
public Transform gunSpawn;
private float timer;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update() {
timer+=Time.deltaTime;
if (timer >= timeBetweenFire) {
Shoot();
timer = 0;
}
}
private void Shoot() {
Rigidbody2D bulletInstance;
bulletInstance = Instantiate(bullet, gunSpawn.position, gunSpawn.rotation) as Rigidbody2D;
//bulletInstance.AddForce(gunSpawn.forward * 1000f);
//bulletInstance.AddForce(Vector3.up * 10 * Time.deltaTime);
//bulletInstance.AddForce(transform.forward * 100);
bulletInstance.AddForce(Vector3.up * 1000);
}
}
The commented bulletInstance methods are what I've recently tried, I did a bunch of large scale code changes regarding bullet (iirc changed it around between Rigidbody, GameObject, and Transform) and nothing helped. The bullet spawns a good bit away from anything except the gunSpawn, which is just an empty GameObject, so I don't think collisions are an issue. I'm a new Unity programmer so forgive me for any dumb mistakes.
UPDATE:
This is what I did to get it (mostly) working. When the bullet collides it can spin out, but at least I made some progress.
public class Deflect : MonoBehaviour
{
private Rigidbody2D bullet;
public float bulletSpeed = 0.1f;
Vector2 direction = new Vector3(0.7f,0.7f);
ContactPoint2D[] myContact = new ContactPoint2D[1];
Vector2 _velocity;
public void Update ()
{
}
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
bullet = this.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
_velocity = bullet.velocity;
}
void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
{
foreach (ContactPoint2D contact in collision.contacts)
{
print(contact.collider.name + " hit " + contact.otherCollider.name);
// Visualize the contact point
Debug.DrawRay(contact.point, contact.normal, Color.white);
}
Vector2 inNormal = collision.contacts[0].normal;
_velocity = Vector3.Reflect(_velocity, inNormal);
bullet.velocity = _velocity;
}
}
1 - Create your bullet prefab as a GameObject
2 - Add a RigidBody2D to it
3 - Make sure the isKinematic is unchecked on the Rigibody2d
4 - then
GameObject bulletInstance = Instantiate(bullet, gunSpawn.position,gunSpawn.rotation);
bulletInstance.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().AddForce(Vector3.up * 1000);
IsKinematic prevents the Rigidbody2D to be affected by forces .
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody-isKinematic.html
Make sure that the bullet has a rigid-body component and that it is not set to kinematic.
Earlier I was facing problem regarding the unity camera problem it always stuck on 0,0,0.08 and also find a solution so I first create an empty gameobject and then drag the camera in that empty gameobject but after doing this the scripts which I applied to the gameobject is working fine but the script which I place in camera is not working at all
Camera Script
public float MovementAmplitude = 0.1f;
public float MovementFrequency = 2.25f;
void Update()
{
transform.position = new Vector3(
transform.position.x,
Mathf.Cos(transform.position.z * MovementFrequency) * MovementAmplitude,
transform.position.z
);
}
Player Script
public float speed = 4.5f;
public float JumpingForcec = 450f;
void Update()
{
transform.position += speed * Vector3.forward * Time.deltaTime;
if (Input.GetKeyDown("space"))
{
Debug.Log("SPace is pressed");
Debug.Log(GetComponent<Rigidbody>());
GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(Vector3.up * JumpingForcec);
}
}
First of all when dealing with a Rigidbody (or the Physics in general) you shouldn't set a position directly through the Transform component but rather use Rigidbody.position or in your case for a smooth movement even rather Rigidbody.MovePosition, both in FixedUpdate.
In general anything related to the Physics (so also everything using Rigidbody) should be done in FixedUpdate while the check for GetKeyDown has to be done in Update.
PlayerScript
public class PlayerScript : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed = 4.5f;
public float JumpingForcec = 450f;
// If possible reference this in the Inspector already
[SerializeField] private Rigidbody rigidBody;
private bool jumpWasPressed;
private void Awake()
{
if (!rigidBody) rigidBody = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
rigidBody.MovePosition(transform.position + speed * Vector3.forward * Time.deltaTime);
if (!jumpWasPressed) return;
Debug.Log("SPace was pressed");
rigidBody.AddForce(Vector3.up * JumpingForcec);
jumpWasPressed = false;
}
private void Update()
{
// Note that currently you can multijump .. later you will want to add
// an additional check if you already jump again
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)) jumpWasPressed = true;
}
}
Make sure that Is Kinematic is disabled in the Rigidbody component! Otherwise AddForce is not processed.
If isKinematic is enabled, Forces, collisions or joints will not affect the rigidbody anymore.
The camera movement I would move to LateUpdate in order to make sure it is the last thing calculated after the other Update calls have finished. Especially after all user input has been processed (in your case maybe not that relevant since movement is processed in FixedUpdate but in general).
Second problem: Here you are not taking the changed Y position by jumping into account so rather add the "wobbling" effect to the player's transform.position.y and rather use the localPosition for the Camera:
public class CameraScript : MonoBehaviour
{
public float MovementAmplitude = 0.1f;
public float MovementFrequency = 2.25f;
// reference the player object here
public Transform playerTransform;
private float originalLocalPosY;
private void Start()
{
if(!playerTransform) playerTransform = transform.parent;
originalLocalPosY = transform.localPosition.y;
}
private void LateUpdate()
{
transform.localPosition = Vector3.up * (originalLocalPosY + Mathf.Cos(playerTransform.position.z * MovementFrequency) * MovementAmplitude);
}
}
Maybe you want to disable the wobbling effect during a jump later, though ;)
Try to put all the update stuff in the same method, it should work both (theorically, not tested) so you have to fix your code in order to get what you want:
void Update() {
// Camera update
transform.position = new Vector3(
transform.position.x,
Mathf.Cos(transform.position.z * MovementFrequency) * MovementAmplitude,
transform.position.z
);
// Player update
transform.position += speed * Vector3.forward * Time.deltaTime;
if (Input.GetKeyDown("space"))
{
Debug.Log("SPace is pressed");
Debug.Log(GetComponent<Rigidbody>());
GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(Vector3.up * JumpingForcec);
}
}
Hope this helps you, cheers!
I am making a 2d game. My problem is that while playing, if the player holds jump and is under a BoxCollider2D, the player will not fall until they release jump.
My player GameObject consists of a sprite renderer, a dynamic rigidbody2d with gravity on and a boxcollider2d.
Here are my movement scripts:

}
//*/
//jumpQueue?
/*

{
jumpQueue = true;
}*/
//Right Movement
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
{

boolin = true;

if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.D))

Thank you so much in advance!
You're using Input.GetKey() which will poll the key every frame. This means more and more velocity is added the longer you hold jump. You've effectively built a jetpack rather than a jump force.
You should use Input.GetKeyDown() which will only fire once when a key is pressed down, then has to be released and pressed again in order to re-trigger. You then need to apply a single sufficiently strong vertical force using RigidBody.AddForce() to make the character jump, rather than adding continuously to the velocity.
Additionally, you should really be caching the result of your GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>() call when the script either wakes up or starts so that you're not calling it continuously; Each one of those calls takes processing time. Also, you should be using FixedUpdate() for physics.
public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
public float thrust;
public Rigidbody rb; // make the rigidbody variable available anywhere in the class
void Start() {
// cache the rigidbody component to the variable once on start
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}
void FixedUpdate() {
// use the variable reference from now on rather than making GetComponent calls
rb.AddForce(transform.up * thrust);
}
}
Soviut's answer explains it quite nicely, but there's more that you need to know. You're directly manipulating the velocity, which overrides the effect of any forces, including gravity(despite the fact you're applying it manually). See the documentation.
As demonstrated in Soviut's answer you should be applying forces and impulses, letting the physics engine determine the velocity. The only time you should set velocity directly is when you're building a simulation that intentionally has unrealistic physics(i.e. retro platformers). Even in that case, bear in mind that doing so creates a lot more work, because you'll need to factor in every little thing that creates movement. This means you're essentially re-inventing the physics engine.
I have a little problem with my player control script (C#) in the unity enigne. I worked out the following script with the basic movement of the player. The problem is that the player can enter the jump statement (the debug log printed it out)
Debug Log
but it will not work. The character is still on the ground.
The jump function will be enabled when the player is on the ground (grounded) and did not a double jump.
So my question is are there any "code mistakes" or maybe some configuration problems which I do not see?
Thank you for your help in advance!

Just guessing here, but maybe Vector3.up does not work for 2D physics? I'm not really into 2D, but you could try
playerRigidbody.AddForce(transform.up * jumpHeight);
instead.
Also, have you tried different values for jumpHeight? 5 might be way to small depending on the mass you set for your rigidbody.
And make sure you haven't restricted any axes in the inspector.
// Note: If you want the object to move in a reliable predictable way but still allow physics interactions, use MovePosition (set the object to kinematic if you want it to be unaffected by physics but still be able to affect other things, and uncheck kinematic if you want both objects to be able to be acted on by physics.
If you want to move your object but let physics handle the finer details, add a force.
playerRigidbody.rigidbody2D.AddForce(Vector3.up * 10 * Time.deltaTime);
use Vector.up, Vector.down, vector.right, Vectore.left along with time.deltaTime to have smooth movement along the frame.
