I am creating a game where the player must climb to the top by bouncing on the floating platforms. I wish to have it so when the player hits the platform they will bounce up x units. The code I had:

var bounce : int = 10;

function OnCollisionEnter (other : Collision) {
    if(other.gameObject.tag == "Bounceable") {
        transform.position.y = bounce * Time.smoothDeltaTime;
    }
}

does not work correctly. As soon as the player hits the defined object he just appears 10 units above the object, with no smooth jumping effect at all. I also want to be able to control the character on his way up and back down but I do not know how to do this as it just teleports.

the problem about using, adding force or modifying velocity is that only works for the horizontal or vertical collisions, when you try to make it collide with a pline like 45 / or \ there goes a lot of problems cuz there is need for sin and cos equations and some other vector stuff, the unity physics for the bounce can be add in this way

Asset>Create>Physics Material, then to the object change the bounciness to a value more than 0 and drag the new material to the object you want to make it bounce,

the problem with this is that if you lauch an object it will stop in a few bounces cuz there are alot of things as friction, drag, angular drag, mass that stop it

hope it help

You want to use something like Rigidbody.AddForce. This will let you "push" the object upwards using a force value you specify. Be sure to change the ForceMode to something like Impulse (basically burst-force), otherwise you won't notice it at all.

You could also set the Rigidbody's velocity manually, specifying a velocity of something like (0, -10, 0) to make it move in an upwardly direction.

You can create a Physics material and change the Bouncing
