Character Jumping Delay Problem

Unity Engine
1

I’m pretty new to coding but this code does work. My problem with it is when I press the jump key it doesn’t always work. I’m using it for a platformer and as great as difficult games can be efficient jumping is kind of required. Is it just my computer or is there a way I can make my control setup better? This is the script I’m using:

#pragma strict

var rotationSpeed = 100;
var jumpHeight = 8;

private var isFalling = false;

function Update ()

{
//Ball rotation
var rotation : float = Input.GetAxis (“Horizontal”) * rotationSpeed;
rotation *= Time.deltaTime;
rigidbody.AddRelativeTorque (Vector3.back * rotation);

//Ball Jump
if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space) && isFalling == false)
{
Debug.Log(“works”);
rigidbody.velocity.y = jumpHeight;
}
isFalling = true;
}

function OnCollisionStay ()

{
isFalling = false;
}

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

On quick look you’re “isFalling=true” is outside of the if statement. So it’s in the update, called every frame.
This basicly means that isFalling is always true.

Just move it into the if statement.

Thanks, that worked, I figured it must have been something small. Thanks for the help.
