Character slows down when running against a wall (2D)
Basically I have a character with a collider and rigidbody and a wall with a collider in a 2D setting.
The character's rigidbody has no Drag or Gravity (all 0).
The character moves using this code during Update():
Vector2 Velocity = new Vector2(0,0);
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
{
Velocity.y = 5;
}
else if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S))
{
Velocity.y = -5;
}
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
{
Velocity.x = -5;
}
else if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
{
Velocity.x = 5;
}
GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = Velocity;
If I move down and right (S & D keys) it moves fine until I hit a wall below me, at which point the movement on the Y axis stops completely (as it should, I hit a wall), but the movement along the X axis slows down as well. Why does this happen? I don't want the X-axis velocity to slow down just because they are also trying to run along a Y axis that is blocked by a wall.
Are you trying to move the player diagonally into the wall?
Essentially yes. If running diagonally I'd be at -5Y and +5X, but if I am running into the wall on the Y Axis, should it not then become 0Y and +5X? It doesn't make sense that it slows on the X axis.
I could do this with custom code by checking collision before setting the movement but I'd like to use what's built-in if possible.
Oh, also, a little unrelated, but still an issue with what's built-in. If you run parallel to the wall and tap down (moving down on the Y Axis) it will occasionally dip down into the wall for a frame until it corrects the collision. This doesn't happen when holding down the button, only when tapping it.
