Question by Vexintgames · Mar 22, 2014 at 05:04 PM · movementinputcharactercontrollervariablescharactermotor

How to modify the base movement speed of the character in JS

I want to have the character level up, and his movement speed increase with each level.

 function increaseLevel(){
 level = level+1;
 maxForwardSpeed = maxForwardSpeed+(maxForwardSpeed/5);
 maxBackwardSpeed = maxBackwardSpeed+(maxBackwardSpeed/5);
 maxSidewaySpeed = maxSidewaySpeed+(maxSidewaySpeed/5);
 }

increaseLevel is called earlier in the script, but that's not hat I'm worried about. I get the error "Unknown Identifier: maxForwardSpeed" (or backward/sideway) for obvios reasons, those variables are not declared anywhere but the CharacterMotor script (I'm using the default FPS character motor). How would I make it so the movement speed would increase? Do I have to write my own Character Motor script? Could I 'cross-reference' the variables so they are declared in CharacterMotor.js and are changed in my script?

The last one I expect should work; use GetComponent references to C$$anonymous$$otor and adjust values in your script

Here is, just drag the object of your CharacterMotor into the property "motor":

 #pragma strict
 
 var motor : CharacterMotor;
 private var level : int = 0;
 
 function increaseLevel(){
     level = level+1;
     motor.movement.maxForwardSpeed = motor.movement.maxForwardSpeed+(motor.movement.maxForwardSpeed/5);
     motor.movement.maxBackwardsSpeed = motor.movement.maxBackwardsSpeed+(motor.movement.maxBackwardsSpeed/5);
     motor.movement.maxSidewaysSpeed = motor.movement.maxSidewaysSpeed+(motor.movement.maxSidewaysSpeed/5);
 }
 
 function Update () {
 
     if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.A)) {
         increaseLevel();
     }
 
 }

I think under my circumstances the solution was a little different, this worked with a few small tweaks.

 var level : int;
 var inBox : boolean;
 
 var motor : Character$$anonymous$$otor;
 
 function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider) {
     if(other.tag == "Player"){
         inBox = true;
     
 }
 }
 
 function Update () {
  
     if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")) {
        increaseLevel();
     }
  
 }
         
 function increaseLevel(){
     level = level+1;
     motor.movement.maxForwardSpeed = motor.movement.maxForwardSpeed+(motor.movement.maxForwardSpeed/5);
     motor.movement.maxBackwardsSpeed = motor.movement.maxBackwardsSpeed+(motor.movement.maxBackwardsSpeed/5);
     motor.movement.maxSidewaysSpeed = motor.movement.maxSidewaysSpeed+(motor.movement.maxSidewaysSpeed/5);
 }

This is what I ended up with. Aside from my math making for quite a fast character at level 30, it works like a charm. Thank you!
