Characters can't jump

I'm kinda new to Unity and coding and I have been struggling with this same problem for quite some time.

Code (CSharp):

1. public abstract class Character : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     [SerializeField]
4.     private float speed;
5.     private Vector2 direction;
6.     protected Rigidbody2D myRigidbody;
7.     protected bool IsGrounded;
8.     public Transform feetPosition;
9.     public float checkRadius;
10.     public LayerMask whatsIsGround;
11.     [SerializeField]
12.     protected float JumpHeight;
13.  
14.  
15.  
16.     public Vector2 Direction { get => direction; set => direction = value; }
17.     public float Speed { get => speed; set => speed = value; }
18.  
19.     protected virtual void Start()
20.     {
21.         myRigidbody = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
22.     }
23.     private void FixedUpdate()
24.     {
25.  
26.         Move();
27.     }
28.     public void Move()
29.     {
30.         myRigidbody.velocity = Direction.normalized * Speed;
31.      
32.     }
33. }

so this is my character class and it is used by 2 players both of them look like this but of course using different keys

Code (CSharp):

1. public class Player_1 : Character
2. {
3.  
4.    protected void Update()
5.     {
6.         IsGrounded = Physics2D.OverlapCircle(feetPosition.position, checkRadius, whatsIsGround);
7.         GetInput();
8.     }
9.  
10.     private void GetInput()
11.     {
12.         Direction = Vector2.zero;
13.  
14.         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftArrow))
15.         {
16.             Direction += Vector2.left;
17.         }
18.         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.RightArrow))
19.         {
20.             Direction += Vector2.right;
21.         }
22.         if (IsGrounded == true && Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.UpArrow))
23.         {
24.             myRigidbody.velocity = Vector2.up * JumpHeight;
25.         }
26.  
27.     }
28. }

Any idea what's problem?

 

Try adding in some Debug.Logs and find out if certain things are being called or not.

 

I have tried but nothing seems to be off

 

Have you set the JumpHeight in the inspector? Are you sure Grounded is flagging to true?

 

Yes, I have tried many values for the JumpHeight in the inspector and it doesn't work. I have debugged the IsGrounded and it is ok. Could my problem somehow be caused by the multiplayer aspect?

 

Its possible. I am not familiar with multiplayer but it could be a factor. Can your player move at all or is it just Jumping?

 

It is only jumping, left/ right movement is as it should

 

I only have one last suggestion, but maybe try increasing JumpHeight to a very large number. On mine I ended up having a high mass on the player and had to make my variable a very high number to even notice the code was working and the player was indeed jumping, it just wasnt noticeable. If that doesnt work then its probably a multiplayer issue and I cannot help. Sorry I havent been much help anyways

 

I got the characters jump when I had typo fixedUpdate instead of FixedUpdate but as a result characters lost their left/right movement.

Code (CSharp):

1.   public void Move()
2.     {
3.       myRigidbody.velocity = Direction.normalized * Speed;
4.      
5.     }

I think this is the problem them but I have absolutely no idea why. Any ideas?

 

So i think i know why but not 100%. I had similar issues and it was because I was setting the velocity on both the jump and movement so they were conflicting and only one would work. I ended up changing my jump code to Rigidbody2d.AddForce() instead and it helped. Maybe give that a shot but I am not entirely sure.
