Remove inertia/momentum from fps controller
I am creating a 2d side scrolling platformer using the FPS controller which I am quite pleased with so far. My only issue is that the fps controller has momentum/inertia which moves the contorller after the key is released. How do I adjust that movement? I would like to tighten the controls.
Thanks in advance!
I've answered a similar question before. I don't have time to run a test, but I believe this is way the fix went:
Modify the FPS Input Controller so that when the GetAxis() calls for both "Horizontal" and "Vertical" are zero, you call CharacterMotor.SetVelocity() with Vector3.zero;
SetVelocity() in the Character Motor script does a SendMessage(). You either have to a) comment this line out, 2) provide an OnExternalVelocity() function to receive this message, or 3) Modify the SendMessage() so that it doesn't require a receiver.
You may also have to change the GetAxis() calls to GetAxisRaw() calls in the FPS Input Controller script..
Just for anyone else who find this topic using the same googling as me, I was having a problem with controlling the amount of 'momentum'/'inertia' with a rotation that was controlled by getAxis("horizontal") - my solution, eventually, was to adjust the 'gravity' setting for the axis in the input settings. This controls the speed at which the value of a released input returns to zero - so if you want a character to come to an abrupt halt, as I did, then setting it high gives the right result.
Not a solution for everyone - but was for me, and may well have been for the above :)
