maxVelocity

Is there a command, or a simple way, that limits the velocity of an rigidbody?

 

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var maxVel : float = 1.0;
3.  
4. function FixedUpdate() {
5. if (rigidbody.velocity.magnitude > maxVel) {
6. rgidbody.velocity = rigidbody.velocity.normalized * maxVel;
7. }
8. }
9.  

 

It works great, thanks. I don't understand what the word float does though.

 

It makes the variable of type float. In other words, floating point compared to integer. Note however that there's no difference between using "var maxVel : float = 1.0;" and "var maxVel = 1.0;" because using 1.0 automatically makes maxVel of type float. On the other hand, using "var maxVel : float = 1"; makes maxVel a float, whereas "var maxVel = 1;" makes it an integer, since a number without a decimal is interpreted as an integer unless you say otherwise. I'm normally in the habit of explicitly defining types all the time, just in case I use "1" instead of "1.0" (or whatever), and I want it to be a float. Saves some potential aggravation, at the expense of some possibly unneccesary extra typing.
