Question by theTech · Nov 11, 2014 at 10:53 PM · timeoverfaster

Slowly making the player go faster.

Hello, I'm rather new to the Unity scene, and well, the first thing I wanted to try was a infinite runner. However, I had a question, and that would be if it's possible to make the player slowly going faster and faster until X speed have been hit?

Yes it is, if you post your current code then maybe we can show you how to alter it to do this :)

As my current code is nothing interesting, I have been browsing around the forum, and various other sites, for quite some time, however, I have found none that seems to fit the needs. All i got for now is the basic commands for moving the player from left to right, which would be as follows:

     public float speedside;
 
 
     void FixedUpdate()
     {
 
         float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
 
         Vector3 movement = new Vector3 (0f, 0f, moveHorizontal);
 
         rigidbody.AddForce (movement * speedside * Time.deltaTime);
 }


I looked at this one: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/725685/change-speed-over-time.html

however, it did raise some question about it.

You can do something like this, it is a quick fix solution but something for you to have a play around with :

 private float speedside = 1.0f;
 private float f$$anonymous$$ax_Speed = 100.0f;
  
 void FixedUpdate() {
  
     float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
  
     Vector3 movement = new Vector3 (0f, 0f, moveHorizontal);
  
     rigidbody.AddForce (movement * speedside * Time.deltaTime);
     
     if (speedside < f$$anonymous$$ax_Speed) {
         speedside = speedside + 0.01f;
     }
 }

Take a look at Invoke's for a better way to do the gradual speed increase, try stuff out yourself it is the best way to learn :)

Woah, thanks for the help!

Indeed, doing it your self is the best way to learn, but sometimes you just need a little help! :)
