Question How do i make player to have a limit on velocity?

Hello, how do i make player to have a max velocity?
I tried using vector2.clampmagnitude, but it didnt work or i didnt did it well.

Anyways, here is my code

Code (CSharp):

1. void Update()
2.     {
3.         horizontalSpeed = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * speed * Time.deltaTime;
4.         verticalSpeed = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") * speed * Time.deltaTime;
5.        
6.         rb2d.position += new Vector2(horizontalSpeed, verticalSpeed); //when i walk diagonally it goes faster than going straight, how do i set a cap
7.     }

Thanks

 

Hey,

The reason you're unable to clamp the velocity is because you're not setting the velocity, you're setting the position. If you put a debug line in your code, you'll be able to see that for yourself:

Debug.Log(rb2d.velocity);

.

Here's an example of working code:

Code (CSharp):

1.     void Update()
2.     {
3.         horizontalSpeed = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * speed;
4.         verticalSpeed = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") * speed;
5.  
6.         rb2d.velocity = new Vector2(horizontalSpeed, verticalSpeed);
7.         rb2d.velocity = Vector2.ClampMagnitude(rb2d.velocity, speed);
8.  
9.         Debug.Log(rb2d.velocity);
10.     }

When setting velocity, you don't need to multiply by

Time.deltaTime

because velocity is already frame rate independent.

If anything is unclear, please let me know.

 

Thank you, have a nice day
