I'm trying to make a very simple character controller script for an object with a rigidbody2D (aiming for basic 2D platformer gamelay with WASD and Space to jump).
void HandleMovement() {
if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.D)) {
rigidbody2D.velocity = new Vector2(walkForce, rigidbody2D.velocity.y);
print(rigidbody2D.velocity);
}
else if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.A)) {
rigidbody2D.velocity = new Vector2(-walkForce, rigidbody2D.velocity.y);
}
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) & grounded) {
jumping = true;
rigidbody2D.velocity = new Vector2(rigidbody2D.velocity.x, jumpForce);
}
}
I can't understand why my HandleMovement method doesn't work. In my case no matter how big a value I put for walkForce or jumpForce, the object doesn't move a bit. The velocity is set correctly because it prints out the correct velocity when D is held, it's just that the object doesn't show any sign of moving. What could be causing this?
EDIT: I've solved this by runing the HandleMovement in FixedUpdate instead of Update. The controls now work but the jump is very "buggy-ish". How can get a nice fluid platformer jump with a rigidbody2d? What I've done above just doesn't play nicely.
