Make object continue to move up as long as button is pressed
Hi,
Sorry for the noob questions but I have a bird in a third person view. And when I press and hold W I want the bird to fly up continuously until I release W at which point the bird should glide down (bird has gravity).
I am having a bit of a hard time making the bird go up continuously. Everything else works fine.
I have tried using transform.Translate, rigidbody.AddForce, and CharacterController but my solutions are not working as I want them to.
With how it is right now, when I press and hold W the bird moves up but stops going up after a certain point and begins to fall down even if I am still holding the W key. And when it is falling, if I press W it does not go up again, it will fall to the ground, and only when it is on the ground I can make it go up again. Which seems quite strange to me...
Anyone have any suggesions?
1.
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
{
anim.SetBool("isFlying", true);
transform.Translate(Vector3.up * Time.deltaTime, Space.World);
}
2.
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
{
anim.SetBool("isFlying", true);
transform.Translate(new Vector3(0, speed * Time.deltaTime, 0));
}
3.
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
{
anim.SetBool("isFlying", true);
rigidBody.AddForce(new Vector3(0f, flyUpForce, 0));
}
try Debug.Log...is your code actually executing?
I think it is executing because the animation plays just fine and it does go up, But the problem is that it does not continuously go up, after a certain height it just drops on its own. And when it is dropping, even if I press W again it just continues to fall.
that happens with all three examples? Same result?
My guess is code somewhere else in your project is resulting in the odd behaviour. The fact you said it stops at a certain point makes me believe some code, somewhere else is doing that.
Right, so in theory the above codes should work to get the effects I am describing?
Yes, Assu$$anonymous$$g no other code is applying a downward force exponentially, which might be why you inevitably start to sink down. If you coded your own gravity maybe look into the logic there.
Are all these if statements in the Update function? if so that's the problem.
To clarify, if the if statements are not in the Update function that's the problem. lol
@JusSumGuy That wouldn't make sense, because it wouldn't be triggering at all if it was not Update.
