2D raycast collision detection

Unity Engine
1

I’ve written a simple movement script using transform.translate, and I’m using raycasts to determine if the player is touching a wall or not. The problem is the player sometimes clips into the wall before movement is stopped, and it seems to be completely random whether the player clips in or not. I’m still fairly inexperienced, and I have no idea what’s causing the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
    //Variables
 
    //Movement
 
    Vector3 velocity;
 
    //Left and Right Movement
 
    private float move = 0f;
    public float MaxSpeed = 5f;
 
    //Jumping
 
    private bool jump = false;
 
    //Raycasting
 
    private bool Twall = false;
    private bool Bwall = false;
    Rect PlayerBox;
    Vector2 TopC;
    Vector2 BotC;
 
    //layermasks
 
    private int DefaultMask;
 
    //animation
     
    // Use this for initialization
 
    void Awake ()
    {
        DefaultMask = 1 << LayerMask.NameToLayer("Default");
    }
 
    void Start ()
    {
     
    }
 
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update ()
    {
        //input
     
        move = Input.GetAxisRaw("Movement");
     
        //raycast origin points
     
        PlayerBox = new Rect( //storing the size of the player's hitbox
            collider2D.bounds.min.x,
            collider2D.bounds.min.y,
            collider2D.bounds.size.x,
            collider2D.bounds.size.y);
     
        TopC = new Vector2(PlayerBox.center.x,PlayerBox.yMax);
        BotC = new Vector2(PlayerBox.center.x,PlayerBox.yMin);
         
        //debug
     
        Debug.Log (velocity.x);
    }
 
    void FixedUpdate ()
    {
        velocity = new Vector3 (velocity.x,0,0);
        velocity.x = move * Time.deltaTime * MaxSpeed;
 
        Twall = Physics2D.Raycast(TopC,Vector2.right * move,(0.05f + PlayerBox.width/2),DefaultMask);
        Bwall = Physics2D.Raycast(BotC,Vector2.right * move,(0.05f + PlayerBox.width/2),DefaultMask);
     
        if(Twall || Bwall)
        {
            MaxSpeed = 0f;
        }
        else
        {
            MaxSpeed = 5f;
        }
    }
 
    void LateUpdate ()
    { 
        transform.Translate(velocity);
    }
}

FixedUpdate is called every fixed framerate frame while LateUpdate is scheduled for the end of a frame after all Updates have been called. If the collision in FixedUpdate is detected right after a LateUpdate but not before, bi-di-boom.

The fact that MaxSpeed is updated after Velocity add to the problem. Velocity should reflect the very last MaxSpeed, for the moment you got one FixedUpdate delay before Velocity reflect the last MaxSpeed calculated.

Usually, velocity is computed as if there were no collision, then collisions are checked, then the velocity vector is cliped to the nearest collision encountered if any.
