How to keep a gameobject on the ground ?

Question

Hello friends,

I am learning to develop a 2d game and I want to make an endless runner. The maincharacter is a skier, who is sliding down a hill and who has to overcome random challenges. But there is the first problem. I don't know how to keep the skier on the ground until I press "jump". The skier is flipping forwards while sliding :D

Can you give me a hint how to solve this ?

Just add a rigidbody to your character, should work... not sure if rigidbody2d supports gravity. If it doesn't, then make a function, where your y position gets decreased over time. For example:

 public class BallController : MonoBehaviour {
 
 public float gravity;
 
 void Update () {
 Gravity();
 }
 
 void Gravity () {
 
 transform.position.y -= gravity;
 
 }
 }

Hope it helps!

The code I made, is actually (probably :P) the best way to make gravity. Stick to that!
