I'm creating a Mario clone and I need to keep the player's forward momentum into the jump and then onward into the landing. I can't figure out how to achieve this. Every time I land, the player has to build up momentum again. Any Idea how to fix this? I've tried several solutions to no avail. I'm thinking it has something to do with how I'm adding force and acceleration to the player when holding left or right. Not sure though any help would be much appreciated. thanks in advance.
Here's my code:
Animator animator;
Rigidbody2D rb;
bool isGrounded;
public float moveSpeed;
public Vector2 acceleration;
public float jumpHeight;
public float lowjumpMultiplier;
public Transform groundCheckM;
public Transform groundCheckL;
public Transform groundCheckR;
public float storedValue;
void Start()
{
animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
}
private void Update()
{
if
((Physics2D.Linecast(transform.position,groundCheckM.position, 1 << LayerMask.NameToLayer("Floor/Platforms"))) || //Check if grounded
(Physics2D.Linecast(transform.position, groundCheckL.position, 1 << LayerMask.NameToLayer("Floor/Platforms"))) ||
(Physics2D.Linecast(transform.position, groundCheckR.position, 1 << LayerMask.NameToLayer("Floor/Platforms"))))
{
isGrounded = true;
animator.SetBool("Jump", false);
}
else
{
isGrounded = false;
}
animator.SetFloat("Walk", rb.velocity.x); //Set animation float to x velocity
if (rb.velocity.x <= 0.03f && rb.velocity.x >= -0.03f && isGrounded) //Play "Idle" animation
{
animator.Play("Mario_Idle");
}
if (rb.velocity.x >=4 || rb.velocity.x <=-4)
{
animator.speed = Mathf.Abs(rb.velocity.x / 5.5f); //Increase speed of walking animation with player's walking speed
}
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
if (Input.GetKey("d") || Input.GetKey("right")) //Move player to the right
{
rb.AddForce(acceleration * rb.mass);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler (0, 0, 0);
}
else if (Input.GetKey("a") || Input.GetKey("left")) //Move player to the left
{
rb.AddForce(-acceleration * rb.mass);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 180, 0);
}
if (rb.velocity.x >= 10)
{
rb.velocity = new Vector2(10, rb.velocity.y); //Cap player speed at 10 when moving right
}
else if (rb.velocity.x <= -10)
{
rb.velocity = new Vector2(-10, rb.velocity.y); //Cap player speed at 10 when moving left
}
if (Input.GetKey("space") && isGrounded) //Player jump
{
rb.velocity += new Vector2(rb.velocity.x, jumpHeight);
animator.SetBool("Jump", true);
}
}
}
If you want to keep your momentum when jumping, you could store it in a variable that will increase until it reaches the max, or you let go of the key.
This is what I would recommend using, that is, if I understand what you mean.
