C# Ladder Forces

Questions & Answers
1

Hi

I am curently trying to prgram a lader script. The way that I have planed it out is that when the player game object enters a trigger zone around the ladder it will add a steady force to the player if W is pressed.

At the moment I know how to detect if the player is in the trigger zone but just dont know how to add a steady vertical force over time to the player.

You need to use Time.deltaTime to smooth out the movement. Try this

    bool wPressed = false;
    bool insideTrigger = false;
    bool autoPilotStandard = true;
    //Use your existing collider code to set this value as applicable

 void Update()
{
    if (insideTrigger)
    {
        //Needs to be GetKey :)
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
        {
            wPressed = true;
        }
        else
        {
            wPressed = false;
        }
    }
    if (autoPilotStandard)
    {
        //Adds constant change
        float translation = Time.deltaTime * 2;
        transform.Translate(0, translation, 0);
    }
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
    if (wPressed)
    {
        //Will add further force on top of existing, might not be want you want?
        GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(Vector3.up * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
    }
}

Assumes you have a Rigidbody attached to the GameObject.

Turn isKinematic and Gravity off.
