Why does GetComponent().velocity.y not equal the second value of GetComponent().velocity?,Why does GetComponent().velocity output (0.0,0.0) but GetComponent().velocity.y outputs a non-zero number?
I was trying to make a double jump system for a platformer--my original code allowed you to basically infini-jump, so I was trying to keep it to two jumps total. But I had trouble determining when the player is at rest, because I was using GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity.y
to determine "rest"; however when using Debug.Log
I noticed that GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity.y
wasn't ever 0.0, even when GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity
was outputting (0.0,0.0).
I got around it by doing an if statement with GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity == new Vector2(0.0f,0.0f)
but I'd love an explanation as to why velocity.y
doesn't give the expected y value of velocity
