If you select this player of yours and look in the inspector. Under the rigidbody component you’ll see a dropdown menu titled “Constraints”.

You want to at least freeze the X and Z rotation. This will keep you character from falling over.
I usually freeze the Y rotation as well, cause then the rigidbody won’t rotate unexpectedly. :slight_smile:

Have you checked the isKinematic option? Use this if you want to control the object via script, but let it interact with physics

What if you want to implement an impact falling?

Let’s say your model is badly balances and it tips over if x rotation unlocked. Now, I shoot it with a projectile, and it will only move by impact, but never fall.

You can change the constraints at any time using code, so in the code that you are using to handle the projectile impact on the enemy you can just turn the constraints off.

If you’re having some problem with a script then you should always post a new thread in the scripting forum. Copy your script into the post using the “Insert Code” button at the top of the editor.
