I finished a relatively simple character controller in a few minutes. I’ve got one issue with the script. Sometimes, when the axes are flicked quickly, the engine doesn’t detect that movement has stopped, and the character’s viewport will not stop moving, or the player will not stop moving.
I also had to build in my own deadzone through code. I thought the unity input preferences had a setting for deadzone, but it doesn’t seem to work at all.
My third problem, is that when the player isn’t grounded, he still seems to be able to control his movement… I thought I had disabled all movement vector changes, thus disabling the player’s ability to control their fall, but this doesn’t seem to be the case… Why is the player still able to change the direction of the fall when the engine does indeed confirm that the player isn’t grounded, and as such, the movement direction doesn’t get updated…
Is there anything I’m doing wrong here?
