Question I couldnt get Rigidbody to freeze X

I am trying to freeze the x value after the player dies because he just starts to slide even if the movement script is disabled i searched the documents but i couldnt really understand it

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2.  
3. public class PlayerHealth : MonoBehaviour
4. {
5.     [SerializeField]private float startingHealth;
6.     public float currentHealth { get; private set; }
7.     private Animator anim;
8.     private bool dead;
9.     public RigidbodyConstraints2D const;
10.  
11.     private void Awake()
12.     {
13.         currentHealth = startingHealth;
14.         anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
15.         const = GetComponent<RigidbodyConstraints2D>();
16.     }
17.    
18.    
19.  
20.     public void TakeDamage(float _damage)
21.     {
22.         currentHealth = Mathf.Clamp(currentHealth - _damage, 0, startingHealth);
23.  
24.         if(currentHealth > 0)
25.         {
26.             anim.SetTrigger("hurt");
27.         }else{
28.             if(!dead){
29.                 anim.SetTrigger("die");
30.                 RigidbodyConstraints2D.FreezeAll;
31.                 GetComponent<PlayerMovement>().enabled = false;
32.                 dead = true;
33.                
34.             }
35.            
36.         }
37.     }
38. }
39.  

 

If you have a better method of stopping the player after dying please share it

 

I dont understand why you are getting the RigidbodyConstraints component instead of just the rigidbody itself. I would guess switch that and then do like Rigidbody.constraints RigidbodyConstraints.FreezePositionX

Look here: Unity - Scripting API: Rigidbody.constraints (unity3d.com)

 

I'm not entirely sure if this would work, but could you just do:

public Rigidbody2D rbname;

//When dead (not !dead, which means you're still alive):

rbname.enabled = false;

 

This is a great idea but unfortunately Rigidbody does not inherit from that lineage and has no .enabled field.

Some other options:

- Destroy() the Rigidbody instance

- set it to .isKinematic = true

- use a FixedJoint and pin it in place

 

Sorry, my mistake. I've been using the .enabled field in my project with a Collider2D, not a rigidbody.
