Android mobile buttons jump character

Hello,

i am trying to find a good easy way to have my character which is a 2d jump when pressed, and wondering if you would rely on unity built in gravity or would you recommend any other script to handle the physics?

 

If it has a rigidbody, you could easily add a force upwards using

Code (CSharp):

1. float jumpForce = 5;
2.  
3. public void Jump() {
4.     rigidbody.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpForce);
5. }

 

good morning Reeii, big thank you, i do see my character going up slowly and the rigidbody 2d is not really doing its job of putting gravity on my character, do you recommend using rigid body2d? its weird, again the jump you have works, its moving my character up slowly, but never going down, it just stays there. should i find a gravity script something?

 

Hmm, do you have "is Kinematic" enabled on your rigidbody? If yes, disable it.
Then change

Code (CSharp):

1. rigidbody.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpForce);

to

Code (CSharp):

1. rigidbody.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpForce, ForceMode.Impulse);

And you shouldn't need a gravity script since gravity is applied to every game object automatically if it has a rigidbody.
