"Dash-Move" only work some times.

Questions & Answers
1

I have a problem with my dash move. It just work some times. Mby 1 out of 3 times.
I also found out that it works more often if i press the jump key (SPACE) at the same time. Does it colide with the jump code?
Any ideas how to fix it?

I marked the “dash code” with //Dash.
I hope u can read the code im new in coding :smiley:

Here is the code:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerControl : MonoBehaviour
{
    private Rigidbody2D rb;
    public float speed;
    public float jumpForce;
    private float moveInput;

    private bool isGrounded;
    public Transform feetPos;
    public float checkRadius;
    public LayerMask whatIsGround;

    private float jumpTimeCounter;
    public float jumpTime;
    private bool isJumping;
    private bool facingRight = true;

    //Dash
    public float dashSpeed = 30f;
    public float startDashTime = 0.1f;
    private float dashTime;
    private int direction;


    private void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();

        //Dash
        dashTime = startDashTime;
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        moveInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        rb.velocity = new Vector2(moveInput * speed, rb.velocity.y);

        if (facingRight == false && moveInput > 0)
        {
            Flip();
        } else if(facingRight == true && moveInput < 0)
        {
            Flip();
        }

        void Flip()
        {
            facingRight = !facingRight;

            transform.Rotate(0f, 180f, 0f);
        }

        //Dash
        if (direction == 0)
        {
            if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftShift))
            {
                if(moveInput < 0)
                {
                    direction = 1;
                } else if (moveInput > 0)
                {
                    direction = 2;
                }
            }
        } else
        {
            if(dashTime <= 0)
            {
                direction = 0;
                dashTime = startDashTime;
                rb.velocity = Vector2.zero;
            } else
            {
                dashTime -= Time.deltaTime;

                if(direction == 1)
                {
                    rb.velocity = Vector2.left * dashSpeed;
                } else if (direction == 2)
                {
                    rb.velocity = Vector2.right * dashSpeed;
                }
            }
        }
        //Dash End
    }

    

    private void Update()
    {
        isGrounded = Physics2D.OverlapCircle(feetPos.position, checkRadius, whatIsGround);

        if(isGrounded == true && Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
        {
            isJumping = true;
            jumpTimeCounter = jumpTime;
            rb.velocity = Vector2.up * jumpForce;
        }

        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space) && isJumping == true)
        {
            if(jumpTimeCounter > 0)
            {
                rb.velocity = Vector2.up * jumpForce;
                jumpTimeCounter -= Time.deltaTime;
            } else {
                isJumping = false;
            }

        }

        if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.Space))
        {
            isJumping = false;
        }

    }

}

Thank you.

Player input is best handled in the update rather than fixedupdate, try moving everything in fixedupdate to update and that should help
