Rigidbody player movement unrealistic velocity problem.

Question

Hi. I am working on basic rigidbody player movement. I have tried this to move the player forward, but if I walk off a cliff I just walk on air while I am moving, but the velocity is local:

 rigidbody.velocity = (transform.forward * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

This does make the player fall off a cliff but it isn't local. So, how do I convert this to using local XYZ:

 rigidbody.velocity.z = 100 * Time.deltaTime;

Thanks.

Vector3 localizedSpeed = transform.InverseTransformDirection(rigidbody.velocity);
localizedSpeed.z = 100;
rigidbody.velocity = transform.TransformDirection(localizedSpeed);

P.S. if you need transform's forward speed is constant, you need set it to constant. use Time.deltaTime for move offsets, but not speeds
