Movement speed is being affected by the frame rate despite using Time.deltaTime.

Code (JavaScript):

1.     //Movement
2.     var walk : float = Input.GetAxis ("Vertical") * walkSpeed;
3.  
4.     if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.W)) {
5.         rigidbody.MovePosition (transform.position + transform.right * walk * -1 * Time.deltaTime);
6.     }
7.     if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.S)) {
8.         rigidbody.MovePosition (transform.position + transform.right * walk * -1 * Time.deltaTime);
9.     }

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

 

Update or FixedUpdate?

 

Update

 

What happens if you change the + into - and remove that "-1"?

I tend to put parenthesis around the '-' on those calculations, to be really sure that it does not interpret it as a subtraction.

Not saying it will change a thing, but it might.

 

Thanks for the tip but unfortunately you were right, it didn't change anything.

 

Moving it to FixedUpdate solved the the problem. I used this code.

Code (JavaScript):

1. function FixedUpdate () {
2.     //Movement
3.     var walk : float = Input.GetAxis ("Vertical") * walkSpeed;
4.     if (walk > 0 || walk < 0) {
5.         rigidbody.MovePosition (transform.position - transform.right * walk * Time.deltaTime);
6.     }
7. }    

 

Rigidbodies get updated on FixedUpdate. You register them to be updated in Update, tho they will carry the old position untill a FixedUpdate kicks in, updating the position to the one last set by an Update. Make sure to handle anything related to rigidbodies in FixedUpdate in the future.
