Boost pad for character controller

I am trying to make a jump pad for my space game that will launch the character controller across to different asteroids. I have managed to create a boost pad that propels the controller forward and a jump pad that shoots the controller directly up but I want to combine them (BTW I am relatively new to coding and I am trying to switch from javascript to C# so preferably answer in C# however any help at all is great!) Thanks in advance!

Here is the code I have at the moment

 #pragma strict
  var strength : int = 10; // Strenght, how high will the jumppad make the player jump
  var jumppadsound : AudioClip; // Sound played when a player uses the jump pad
  
  // make sure to check the Is Trigger checkbox in the Box/mesh/whatever collider
  function OnTriggerEnter(col : Collider){
  // Make sure the "Player" tag is set on the player
      if(col.CompareTag("Player")){
          col.gameObject.GetComponent(CharacterMotor).SetVelocity(Vector3.forward * strength);
          audio.PlayOneShot(jumppadsound);
      }
  }
  @script RequireComponent(AudioSource);
