Question by Digital-Phantom · Mar 28, 2015 at 03:36 PM · c#movementsmoothtime.deltatime

How to incorporate Time.deltaTime into existing script

In another question somebody suggested I use Time.deltaTime to help smooth out the movement of an object. However the script itself works fine and does what I need it to do.

I kind of understand how/why Time.deltaTime would be beneficial but not how to change the existing script to use it (or even if it really needs to be changed)

 void FixedUpdate ()
     {
         float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
         Vector3 movement = new Vector3 (moveHorizontal, 0.0f, 0);
         GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity = movement * speed;
         GetComponent<Rigidbody>().position = new Vector3(Mathf.Clamp (GetComponent<Rigidbody>().position.x, Min, Max), transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
     }
 

Is Time.deltaTime going to be beneficial here and if so how would I incorporate it into the script

???

Time.deltaTime, makes the movement framerate independent(as I am sure you know), but using rigidbody.velocity already does this(I don't think AddForce does this however). So just continue using your script, and you should be fine. Also you can find more info here: http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.html

and i quote:

In a script, the FixedUpdate function is recommended as the place to apply forces and change Rigidbody settings (as opposed to Update, which is used for most other frame update tasks). The reason for this is that physics updates are carried out in measured time steps that don't coincide with the frame update. FixedUpdate is called immediately before each physics update and so any changes made there will be processed directly.
