Rigidbody.velocity is receiving value, but it does not move.

Hello, I'm making a dodge system for the player, and the Inputs are working perfectly, what happens is that I do not know if I'm correctly applying the RigidBody.Velocity.
The player already moves based on RigidBody.Velocity, it constantly receives from Horizontal and Vertical Axis. Is this really the right approach? Or is there some other way? (AddForce does not bring the desired effect)

I'm not going to show the entire code, but is almost the same for all directions,

​

Code (CSharp):

1.  private void InputDetector_OnInput(PlayerMovement.InputData data)
2.     {
3.         Debug.Log("The Input is : " + data.Direction);
4.         if (data.Direction == PlayerMovement.InputDirection.Up)
5.         {
6.  
7.             DashVerify(1);
8.         }
9. }
10.     private void DashVerify(int direction)
11.     {
12.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
13.         {
14.             if (dashTime <= 0)
15.             {
16.  
17.                 direction = 0;
18.                 dashTime = startDashTime;
19.                 rb.velocity = Vector3.zero;
20.                 Debug.Log("Clear All");
21.  
22.             }
23.             else
24.             {
25.                 Debug.Log("DashVerify Else Condition");
26.                 dashTime -= Time.deltaTime;
27.                 Dash(direction);
28.             }
29.         }
30.     }
31.  
32.  
33. public void Dash(int direction)
34.     {
35.    
36.         switch (direction)
37.         {
38.             case 1:
39.                 //Cima
40.  
41.                 rb.velocity = Vector3.forward * dashSpeed;
42.  
43.                 Debug.Log("Forward Dash  : " + rb.velocity);
44.                 break;
45. }
46. }

In this example, the Debug.Log, Receive (0,0, 0,0, 100,0) what is correct, but not Move...

 

Please edit your post and use code tags for your code.

 

Sorry about that, i didn't know how do it. Thanks!

 

It's better to use Rigidbody.AddForce with the option "ForceMode.VelocityChange" instead of modifying the velocity parameter directly. You may calculate the velocity change to apply as "velocityChange = targetVelocity - rigidbody.velocity".

 

You talk just referring to the Dash system or any type of movement. and if it is ... why AddForce? I have already used it and it has an artificial effect. Does he have any kind of benefit?

 

I'm just talking on modifying the velocity of a rigidbody without secondary effects. AddForce may not just apply forces, but instant velocity changes and impulses (see ForceMode.VelocityChange).

About why it's better to use AddForce + ForceMode.VelocityChange instead of just modifying Rigidbody.velocity, here's a detailed explanation:

I ran into this problem as well, setting velocity but nothing was happening. Turns out if your rigidbody is set to isKinematic then it does not apply velocity.
