Error Description:
I am creating a simple 2d platformer.
I have a Player GameObject with a sprite renderer, rigidbody2d, 2 circle colliders, 5 box colliders, and 2 scripts attached. One script was a character controller I got from github, the other is a player script that calls functions from the controller script.
The CharacterController has a Move method that adds velocity to the player depending on the key pressed to initiate the motion (right or left).
However, I had an issue where the Move method would be called correctly but the player wont move. Pressing a single direction button (right for example) would propel the player normally, until suddenly the character stops and wont move in that direction anymore. The only way to undo that is to move in the other direction then back and again. Note that the player also stops mid-motion (removing drag lets the player slide on a straight path even without pressing any key as long as some force has been added before, the issue causes the character to instantly stop even if it is sliding).
So I created a much simpler Controller script from scratch, and used AddForce instead. But I am facing the same EXACT issue.
I have no idea what the issue is, the code is simple enough, and if the issue was with the colliders, I should be stopped at a certain point, but I am able to access all parts of the tile map I created if I change directions then go back again.
Code:
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public CustomCharacterController custCtrl;
float horizontalMove=0f;
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if(Input.GetKey("right")){
horizontalMove = 1f;
}else if(Input.GetKey("left")){
horizontalMove = -1f;
}
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
custCtrl.Move(horizontalMove, false, false);
}
}
public void Move(float move, bool crouch, bool jump){
if(characterGrounded){
//this is true, I checked using Debug.Log
Vector2 fToAdd = new Vector2(move * moveForce, 0f);
characterRB.AddForce(fToAdd, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
// If the input is moving the player right and the player is facing left...
if (move > 0 && !m_FacingRight) { Flip(); }
else if (move < 0 && m_FacingRight) { Flip(); }
}
}
