Character gravity cuts in late.

Unity Engine
1

Hi
My character has a Rigidbody and Character Controller attached. When the character walks off a building or incline it will continue to hold its position in the Y axis until the walk key is released. So when the model is moving forward it will not drop till its horizontal motion is zero. Anybody have something similar?

Any advice gratefully accepted.
Cheers

So I put my character in a fresh scene and went through the setup. This time gravity was handled differently: the model would not fall unless it had forward motion (exactly the opposite of my main scene). I then opened the Unity locomotion starter kit , applied a character controller to the default character and it works perfectly. Here is the starter kit script.

 /// <summary>
/// 
/// </summary>

using UnityEngine;
using System;
using System.Collections;
  
[RequireComponent(typeof(Animator))]  

//Name of class must be name of file as well

public class LocomotionPlayer : MonoBehaviour {

    protected Animator animator;

    private float speed = 0;
    private float direction = 0;
    private Locomotion locomotion = null;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () 
	{
        animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
        locomotion = new Locomotion(animator);
	}
    
	void Update () 
	{
        if (animator  Camera.main)
		{
            JoystickToEvents.Do(transform,Camera.main.transform, ref speed, ref direction);
            locomotion.Do(speed * 6, direction * 180);
		}		
	}
}

Here is the script from my main scene:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class IdleRunJumpAudio : MonoBehaviour {


	protected Animator animator;
	public float DirectionDampTime = .25f;
	public bool ApplyGravity = true; 
	public AudioClip roar;
	public AudioClip breath;
	public AudioClip Attack;
	
	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () 
	{
		animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
	}
		
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () 
	{
		float h = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");				// setup h variable as our horizontal input axis
		float v = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");				// setup v variables as our vertical input axis
		animator.SetFloat("Speed", v);							// set our animator's float parameter 'Speed' equal to the vertical input axis				
		animator.SetFloat("Direction", h); 						// set our animator's float parameter 'Direction' equal to the horizontal input axis		
					
		if (animator)
		{
			AnimatorStateInfo stateInfo = animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0);			

			if (stateInfo.IsName("Base Layer.Run"))
			{
				if (Input.GetButton("Fire1")) animator.SetBool("Jump", true);                
            }
			else
			{
				animator.SetBool("Jump", false);                
            }

			if(Input.GetKeyDown("r"))
			{
				animator.SetBool("Roar", !animator.GetBool("Roar"));
				audio.PlayOneShot(roar);	
			}
			else
			{
			    animator.SetBool("Roar", false); 
			}
			if(Input.GetKeyDown("t"))
			{
				animator.SetBool("Slash", !animator.GetBool("Slash"));
				audio.PlayOneShot(Attack);	
			}
			else
			{
			    animator.SetBool("Slash", false); 
			}
		}   		  
	}
}

Anyone see what I am missing?
Cheers

So playing about with the scene again this morning and everything is working as expected, but how??? Man voodoo is in the air :slight_smile:
