Question tight controls for a top down shooter

Hello everyone,

I try to improve the movments of my top down shooter.
Actually it fe my movements fells robotic.
This is the code i use :

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.  
3.     void FixedUpdate()
4.     {
5.         VelocityBasedAxis("horizontal", inputHorizontal, velocity_x);
6.         VelocityBasedAxis("vertical", inputVertical, velocity_y);
7.  
8.         rb.velocity = new Vector2(velocity_x, velocity_y);
9.     }
10.  
11. void VelocityBasedAxis(string axis, int input, float velocity)
12.     {
13.         //Accelerate on axis
14.         if (input == 1 && velocity >= 0)
15.         {
16.             velocity += acceleration * Time.deltaTime;
17.         }
18.         else if (input == -1 && velocity <= 0)
19.         {
20.             velocity -= acceleration * Time.deltaTime;
21.         }
22.         //Decelerate when you want to chaneg direction
23.         else if (input == 1 && velocity <= 0)
24.         {
25.             velocity += decelerationHigh * Time.deltaTime;
26.         }
27.         else if (input == -1 && velocity >= 0)
28.         {
29.             velocity -= decelerationHigh * Time.deltaTime;
30.         }
31.         //Decelerate when no input
32.         else if (input == 0 && velocity >= minValueMovement)
33.         {
34.             velocity -= deceleration * Time.deltaTime;
35.         }
36.         else if (input == 0 && velocity <= -minValueMovement)
37.         {
38.             velocity += deceleration * Time.deltaTime;
39.         }
40.         //Stop when velocity near 0
41.         else if (input == 0 && (velocity < minValueMovement && velocity > -minValueMovement))
42.         {
43.             velocity = 0;
44.         }
45.  
46.         //Retrun a clamped value
47.         velocity = Mathf.Clamp(velocity, -maxVelocity, maxVelocity);
48.         if (axis == "horizontal")
49.         {
50.             velocity_x = velocity;
51.         }
52.         else if (axis == "vertical")
53.         {
54.             velocity_y = velocity;
55.         }
56.     }

I am a bit lost i want to have precises controls (with i think a non linerar acceleration/deceleration) on my player but what is the best to use? velocity, addForce,translate ...

Can you help me?

 

I have no idea what this means but you're welcome to look at my twinstick shooter example. Look for the

DemoTwinStickShooter

scene in my Proximity Buttons project.

Specifically, this is the code for moving the player:

https://github.com/kurtdekker/proxi...TwinStickShooter/TwinStickPlayerController.cs

.., around line 94 in the UpdateMoving() method.

proximity_buttons is presently hosted at these locations:
