adding forward velocity if holding w

Questions & Answers
1

currently i have a jump meter that charges up when holding down jump then applies the velocity when released. if holding W when jump is released i want there to be an extra forward velocity. here is my code that doesnt work although the debug is saying that forward force is being applied

canJump = Physics.CheckSphere(GroundCheck.position, CheckDistance, GroundMask);

    	if (canJump && Input.GetKeyDown("space"))
    	{
			canMove = false;
    	}

    	if(canJump && Input.GetKey("space") && JumpForce <= 25f)
    	{
    		JumpForce += 17f * Time.deltaTime;
    		
    	}

    	if(canJump && Input.GetKeyUp("space"))
    	{
    		canMove = true;

		 	if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
		 	{
		 		ForwardForce = 40f;
		 	}

    		rb.velocity = new Vector3(0f,JumpForce,ForwardForce);

			Debug.Log(rb.velocity);

    		JumpForce = 0;
    		ForwardForce = 0;
    	}

Have you tried using AddForce instead?
