Dashing with rigidbody2D not working right
So I asked a similar question few days ago regarding jumping, and it lead me to an aswer that I'm actually cancelling out my Y velicity with the part of the script that handles rest of the movement. Now I was thinking about implementing dashing using rigidbody2D.AddForce(Vector3.right * dashSpeed); ,but the code is being cancelled out because the X value ir being updated every frame using values from directional keys, if that makes sense. So can you guys please help me figure out a workaround?
Here's my code:
public int HorizontalSpeed = 10;
public float jumpSpeed = 1000f;
public float dashSpeed = 1000f;
private Vector2 movement;
public bool fallin = false;
void Update () {
//Horizontal movement
float inputX = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
movement = new Vector2 (inputX * HorizontalSpeed, rigidbody2D.velocity.y);
}
void FixedUpdate () {
//Jumping
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.X))
{
rigidbody2D.AddForce(Vector3.right * dashSpeed);
}
//Jumping
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && fallin == false)
{
rigidbody2D.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpSpeed);
}
fallin = true;
rigidbody2D.velocity = movement; //This zeroes out the x value each frame
// so I can't dash properly. It just blinks instead of being smooth. Workaround?
}
void OnCollisionStay2D() {
fallin = false;
}
You can use AddForce with a force mode, i would try impulse.
That still doesn't seem to work. It is still being cancelled out by the horzintal user input.
mm ok . This is a workaround but you could implement a timer along with a variable that is called dashTime which will be how long you want the dash to last. So when dashing you set the timer = Time.time and then in your update you execute the movement command if timer + dashTime> Time.time.
Another thing you could do is to use lerp. So you would set a dashSpeed var and then when dashing you could set a bool true and in your update script you would do
HorizontalSpeed = $$anonymous$$athf.Lerp (dashSpeed, HorizontalSpeed , dashTime);
play around with the values to achieve what you want, e.g change dashTime to Time.something values.
You just need to disable whatever input is interrupting your dash. Idk if your dash is anything like mine, but I disable all other player actions for the duration of the dash. I have float dashDuration which designates how long I want the dash to last.
so after you do that, something like this would work:
if(!isDashing){
rigidbody2D.velocity = movement
}
