Question by Dreoh · Apr 05, 2012 at 03:09 AM · transformplayerjumpplatformer

Dynamic jump?

I've been trying to figure out how to change the community 2d platformer controller script to make it so that when the player jumps while standing still, they are allowed to move left and right still.

currently with the given script, if the player was to jump standing still, they would be stuck along the y-axis, and can change rotation, but not position along the x-axis.

 // Does this script currently respond to Input?
 var canControl = true;
 
 // The character will spawn at spawnPoint's position when needed.  This could be changed via a script at runtime to implement, e.g. waypoints/savepoints.
 var spawnPoint : Transform;
 
 class PlatformerControllerMovement {
     // The speed when walking 
     var walkSpeed = 3.0;
     // when pressing "Fire1" button (control) we start running
     var runSpeed = 10.0;
 
     var inAirControlAcceleration = 1.0;
 
     // The gravity for the character
     var gravity = 60.0;
     var maxFallSpeed = 20.0;
 
     // How fast does the character change speeds?  Higher is faster.
     var speedSmoothing = 5.0;
 
     // This controls how fast the graphics of the character "turn around" when the player turns around using the controls.
     var rotationSmoothing = 10.0;
 
     // The current move direction in x-y.  This will always been (1,0,0) or (-1,0,0)
     // The next line, @System.NonSerialized , tells Unity to not serialize the variable or show it in the inspector view.  Very handy for organization!
     @System.NonSerialized
     var direction = Vector3.zero;
 
     // The current vertical speed
     @System.NonSerialized
     var verticalSpeed = 0.0;
 
     // The current movement speed.  This gets smoothed by speedSmoothing.
     @System.NonSerialized
     var speed = 0.0;
 
     // Is the user pressing the left or right movement keys?
     @System.NonSerialized
     var isMoving = false;
 
     // The last collision flags returned from controller.Move
     @System.NonSerialized
     var collisionFlags : CollisionFlags; 
 
     // We will keep track of an approximation of the character's current velocity, so that we return it from GetVelocity () for our camera to use for prediction.
     @System.NonSerialized
     var velocity : Vector3;
     
     // This keeps track of our current velocity while we're not grounded?
     @System.NonSerialized
     var inAirVelocity = Vector3.zero;
 
     // This will keep track of how long we have we been in the air (not grounded)
     @System.NonSerialized
     var hangTime = 0.0;
 }
 
 var movement : PlatformerControllerMovement;
 
 // We will contain all the jumping related variables in one helper class for clarity.
 class PlatformerControllerJumping {
     // Can the character jump?
     var enabled = true;
     // Can the character double jump?
     var doubleenabled = true;
 
     // How high do we jump when pressing jump and letting go immediately
     var height = 1.0;
     // We add extraHeight units (meters) on top when holding the button down longer while jumping
     var extraHeight = 4.1;
     
     // This prevents inordinarily too quick jumping
     // The next line, @System.NonSerialized , tells Unity to not serialize the variable or show it in the inspector view.  Very handy for organization!
     @System.NonSerialized
     var repeatTime = 0.05;
 
     @System.NonSerialized
     var timeout = 0.15;
 
     // Are we jumping? (Initiated with jump button and not grounded yet)

Try removing the if(controller.isGrounded)

 if (controller.isGrounded) {
        // Smooth the speed based on the current target direction
        var curSmooth = movement.speedSmoothing * Time.deltaTime;
 
 
 
        // Choose target speed
        var targetSpeed = Mathf.Min (Mathf.Abs(h), 1.0);
 
        // Pick speed modifier
        if(!movement.isMoving){
         animation.Play("idle");
        }else{
             if (Input.GetButton ("Run") && canControl){
                 animation.Play("run");
                 targetSpeed *= movement.runSpeed;
             }else{
                 animation.Play("walk");
                 targetSpeed *= movement.walkSpeed;
             }
        }
 
        movement.speed = Mathf.Lerp (movement.speed, targetSpeed, curSmooth);
 
        movement.hangTime = 0.0;
     }

Worked like a charm thank you!!

I don't see any apparent downsides to this change, do you think there would be one?
