Question by djibrilkande009 · Oct 30, 2017 at 08:26 AM · velocitycharacter controllercharacter movementacceleration

HOW DO I MAKE MY CHARACTER GAIN SPEED GRADUALLY 3D

I am making a 3D platformer based around speed like sonic the hedgehog. But my problem is that I can't get my character to gain speed gradually. Instead it just goes at top speed all the time. I need help please. PS: I'm using Character Controller not the RigidBody

 private float _speed = 0f;
 
 const float MAX_SPEED = 4f; 
 const float ACCELERATION = 2f;
 const float DRAG = 6f;
 
 void Update()
 {
     if(rightPressed)
         _speed = Mathf.MoveTowards(_speed, MAX_SPEED, Time.deltaTime * ACCELERATION);
     else if(leftPressed)
         _speed = Mathf.MoveTowards(_speed, -MAX_SPEED, Time.deltaTime * ACCELERATION);
     else
         _speed = Mathf.MoveTowards(_speed, 0f, Time.deltaTime * DRAG);
 }

The speed keeps current speed value it should goes to the MAX_SPEED value when you hold the right button, it should goes to the -MAX_SPEED when hold the left button, it should goes to the 0 when hold no move buttons.

*rightPressed and leftPressed are example variables you must put here button detection conditions.

Answer by djibrilkande009 · Oct 30, 2017 at 09:37 PM

When i use the code the character doesn't move. Sorry if it bothers you i'm new to unity: using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;

 public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour {
     private float _speed = 0f;
 
     const float MAX_SPEED = 4f;
     const float ACCELERATION = 2f;
     const float DRAG = 6f;
     public CharacterController CT;
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
         CT = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
         
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
         if (Input.GetKeyDown("right"))
             _speed = Mathf.MoveTowards(_speed, MAX_SPEED, Time.deltaTime * ACCELERATION);
         else if (Input.GetKeyDown("left"))
             _speed = Mathf.MoveTowards(_speed, -MAX_SPEED, Time.deltaTime * ACCELERATION);
         else
             _speed = Mathf.MoveTowards(_speed, 0f, Time.deltaTime * DRAG);
 
     }
 }

You should put update code inside the CharacterController class and the _speed variable is just a speed mod for your current speed. You should multiply your character current speed by this value.

Or show me the character controller class. i cant say nothing more now.

@$$anonymous$$asterio if i understand I should multiply each of the _speed statements by a speed variable?

No you must multiply all speed variables by the _speed.
