Whats Wrong With My Script? Character Flys Upwards After Jump Command.

Hey i am doing a simple platform game for the mobile phones and i had ran into some problems.

For some reason my character just fly's or jump's upwards after the " GetMouseButtonDown" jump command.
In the game preview the character should slowly jump just once and back onto the platform.
For the character i had also turned on Is Kinematic. Otherwise the character just keeps on falling down.


Here's my Script.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public class PlayerControls : MonoBehaviour {
3.     public Rigidbody2D rb;
4.  
5.     // Use this for initialization
6.     void Start () {
7.    
8.  
9.         rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
10.  
11.     }
12.    
13.     // Update is called once per frame
14.     void Update () {
15.    
16.         rb.velocity = new Vector2 (1, rb.velocity.y);
17.  
18.         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0)) {
19.             rb.velocity = new Vector2 (rb.velocity.x, 1);
20.         }
21.     }
22.  
23. }

I am not sure what i am missing for the code to work correctly?
looking forward for some replies.

 

Sorry about the image source it seems it doesn't work. Looking forward for some answers on the script.

 

If you are just beginning, start here: https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials

Since you set your character to kinematic, and then set its velocity, it is not affected by gravity. You would have to make it non-kinematic, or apply your own gravity.

 

Also you're doing physics inside Update rather then(or than?) in FixedUpdate.

Check for the input in the update loop so you catch every click and use a flag to trigger the physics.

 

Also note you don't have to host your screenshot somewhere, you can add it directly to the forum.

 

Thank you and thank u for the replies when it comes to scripting i am not new. But this is what i am working on.

And no the character shouldn't be jumping off straight like that.

 

I'm pretty sure it's totally okay to change velocity in Update().

OP: Did my response not help you to resolve your issue?

 

This new Unity update is sure giving me a headache lol. But i will test it out today thank you.
