Jumping not allways registering fix?

Sometimes when I press spacebar the game completely ignores it. It seems to ignore my jump button once every 5-10 jumps, sometimes more than once in a row. It can happen any time, doesn't matter if i'm standing still or if I havn't jumped in a while. Building the game does't fix it. My player object(ball) has sphere collider, meshrenderer, rigidbody, and character controller if it matters.

how can I make jumping respond 100% of the time?

this is in the LateUpdate method:

             if (Physics.Raycast (playerT.position, -Vector3.up, 0.6f)) {//is grounded
                 if (Input.GetKey ("x")) {
                     rb.velocity = new Vector3 (0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
                 }
     
                 jumpAllowTimer = jumpAllowTime;//can jump 0.2 sec after
             
             } else {//not grounded
                 jumpAllowTimer -= Time.deltaTime;
             }
     
             if(jumpAllowTimer >= 0)//just to make it a bit more forgiving
             {
                 if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Jump")) {
                     rb.AddForce (0.0f, jump, 0.0f);
                 }
             }
             Debug.Log (jumpAllowTimer);

To debug weird behaviour try making a version as simple as possible:

 bool jumpAllowed = Physics.Raycast(playerT.position, -Vector3.up, 0.6f);
 
 if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && jumpAllowed) 
 {
     Debug.Log("JU$$anonymous$$PED");
     rb.AddForce (0.0f, jump, 0.0f);
 }

Try that and check if the log message shows up in the console every time you hit the jump button.

PS: check your timed jump lock jumping gets allowed even after some time in air. The statement jumpAllowTimer >= 0 will be true after some time.

Why are you using -Vector3.up ins$$anonymous$$d of Vecto3.down?

I tried that but sometimes it doesn't jump and the message doesn't happen.

Also tried

         if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")) 
         {
             count++;
             Debug.Log("JU$$anonymous$$PED" + count);
         }

Looks like some updates the jump button doesn't trigger. It didn't update the message every time.

Are you sure that your keyboard is ok? $$anonymous$$aybe your spacebar is damaged. Try another key or give a try with another keyboard. Your code should really work...
