DeltaTime not working

Scripting

Ok. Im a noob so this is probably a stupid question.

I had a player movement code that looks like this:

var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);
	Grounded = 1 * ( controller.isGrounded ? 1 : 0);
	
	// Apply gravity
	if(Grounded == 0) {verticalSpeed -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;}
	else {verticalSpeed = 0;}

	ApplyAnimation(controller);
	ApplyJump(controller);

	
	// Rotate the controller
	transform.Rotate(0, Input.GetAxis ("Mouse X") * rotateSpeed, 0);
	
	// Move the controller
	moveDirection = Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") / 2 , 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
	moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
	var movement = (moveDirection * moveSpeed) + Vector3(0, verticalSpeed, 0) ;
	controller.Move(movement * Time.deltaTime);

And I put it into a multiplayer code:

function FixedUpdate()
{
	//Only run this on the server
	if(networkView.isMine)
	{
           <PLAYER MOVEMENT CODE GOES HERE>
        }
}

But now gravity has stopped working. I find it works again if rather than putting:

if(Grounded == 0) {verticalSpeed -= grav * Time.deltaTime;}

I put:

if(Grounded == 0) {verticalSpeed -= grav;}

(Removing the deltaTime makes it work)

But I need delta time! Don’t I? To stop the gravity from being different at different frame rates. Other occurances of DeltaTime have worked… except this one doesnt.

I’m confused… :frowning:

Also interestingly I cannot work with a value of gravity less than 1… maybe this is related…

Is gravity an int or float?

You have to use Time.fixedDeltaTime instead of Time.deltaTime.

That appears to have fixed it. Thank you :slight_smile:
