Movement in mid air

Question

So this is my code so far

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class MovementNuri : MonoBehaviour
 {
     private Vector3 moveVector;
     private Vector3 lastMove;
     private float speed = 5;
     private float verticalVelocity;
     private float gravity = 14.0f;
     private float jumpForce = 10.0f;
     private CharacterController controller;
 
         private void Start()
     {
         controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
 
     }
 
     private void Update()
     {
         moveVector.x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * speed;
  
         if (controller.isGrounded)
         {
             verticalVelocity = -gravity * Time.deltaTime;
             if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space))
             {
                 verticalVelocity = jumpForce;
             }
         }    
         else
         {
             verticalVelocity -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
             moveVector = lastMove;
         }
         
         moveVector.y = 0;
         moveVector.Normalize();
         moveVector *= speed;
         moveVector.y = verticalVelocity;
  
         controller.Move(moveVector * Time.deltaTime);
         lastMove = moveVector;            
     }
 }

So right now I have it set up so that if I'm moving left or right the momentum will carry on to the jump. But how can I make it so that I can make it so I can still have movement in mid air?

Basically, remove line 35.

Thank you that worked but I also wanted to still have momentum carried over from running to a jump, so when you let go of the button it doesn't stop in mid air. How would I do that?

You could use the last$$anonymous$$ove value, but at line 35 ins$$anonymous$$d of setting your move to last$$anonymous$$ove, just use part of it, use moveVector + (last$$anonymous$$ove * 0.5f).

By the way, I notice you are multiplying your x speed twice, I don't think the line 22 should be multiplied by speed for your needs.

Also di$$anonymous$$ish your moveVector value while you are in the air, because you probably don't want your momentum to be constant. Something like last$$anonymous$$ove = last$$anonymous$$ove * (1f- Time.deltaTime); Adjust to your needs.

Move line 22moveVector.x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * speed; to insideif(controller.isGrounded){ }

@CyberBlitz55 I know this is an old post but this might be the solution you were looking for:

     public float airSpeedModifier = 0.05f;  //The higher the modifier value the more air control where 0 = no air control, and 1 = full air control. 
     
     private void FixedUpdate()
     {
         if (!controller.isGrounded)
         {
             moveVector.x = Mathf.Lerp(lastMove.x, moveVector.x, airSpeedModifier);
             moveVector.z = Mathf.Lerp(lastMove.z, moveVector.z, airSpeedModifier);
         }
      }

In the case of the original post just replace line 35 with the two lines inside the if statement above.

Hope it helps (someone)! :)

Unfortunately I have moved on to completely different projects but the help is greatly appreciated :)
