Bug Broken Gravity

Uhh.. so I was making a third person controller and everything was going fine, i added sliding jumping and moving but then i changed the gravity scale using

Code (CSharp):

1. Physics.gravity = -gravityScale * Vector3.up;

pretty much since then the gravity isnt working. No matter what value i set the gravity scale to be it only applies a gravity of -0.14 which is really weird. I cant seem to find any similar cases. But what I have noticed is that once the player character comes close enough to the ground so that the ground check raycast can hit the floor, gravity returns to normal.
Here is my code

1. using System.Collections;

So where does

gravityScale

get used in your code? The serialised field isn't used anywhere.

Also I wouldn't change the global gravity scale, as that will affect gravity of everything.

 

I removed that line of code while debugging it didnt solve the problem but i was using Physics.gravity in fixedupdate

 

Well probably because you're setting the velocity every fixed update in line 133. You're nullifying pretty much all vertical velocity by setting the velocity before applying a force.

 

Ah im dumb i forgot to comment that out after trying a different movement method for more snappy controls

@Myst1cS04p
One thread was enough. You asked the same question yesterday.

https://forum.unity.com/threads/gravity-not-working.1498715/

 

got no response there so i tried my luck here

 

So I gathered but creating several identical threads is considered spam here.

 

Just report the post and let the mods address this if they so chose to. No need to harass people about this stuff.

 

It's not for me to do that; the poster needs to contact the moderators (by reporting any of the comments) and ask them to merge the threads.
And informing people is not harassment.
