Check if gravity is inverted
I need my character to jump down (negative y value) if the gravity is inverted. How do I script this? The gravity is multiplied with -1 when I press a button. So how do I make an if statement for when the gravity is inverted? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
You can read the gravity value and check if it is positive or negative, but it's usually cleaner to just have a boolean lying around. If we're talking global gravity (as in "not just some property in a single object"), a static variable mith come in handy in whatever class you're switching gravity.
public static bool upwardsGravity = true;
public void InvertGravity()
{
// Gravity float * -1 here
upwardsGravity = !upwardsGravity;
}
And then you go
ThatScriptsName.upwardsGravity
wherever to ask about inverted gravity.
Thank you, that worked! The problem I have now however is that the character moves not only forward but slightly sideways when falling back down. What have I done wrong now?
There is no way to tell without knowing which components you use and what your code is.
$$anonymous$$akes sense, sorry. This is my code. Could the rotation affect the position?
void Start() { //rb = GetComponent(); //jump = new Vector3(0.0f, 2.0f, 0.0f);
// get the third person character ( this should never be null due to require component )
character = GetComponent<ThirdPersonCharacter>();
StartCoroutine(Choreography());
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$eyDown ("down") && upwardsGravity == true)
transform.position += new Vector3(0,2,0) * jumpSpeed;
if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$eyDown ("down") && isGrounded == false)
InvertGravity();
if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$eyDown ("down"))
transform.Rotate (transform.rotation.x,transform.rotation.y,transform.rotation.z-180);
if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$eyDown ("down") && upwardsGravity == false)
transform.position += new Vector3(0,-2,0) * jumpSpeed;
}
void LateUpdate()
{
if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$eyDown ("down"))
InvertGravity();
}
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision) {
if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Ground"){
grounded=true;
}
}
void OnCollisionStay()
{
isGrounded = true;
}
IEnumerator Choreography()
{
yield return new WaitForFixedUpdate ();
//walk forward
float startTime = Time.time;
float duration = 120f;
while (Time.time < startTime + duration) {
character.$$anonymous$$ove (Vector3.forward, false, false);
yield return new WaitForFixedUpdate ();
}
}
}
