How to make player wall jump after the wall has been successfully detected by a raycast?

Questions & Answers
1

OK so ive gotten the majority of this script to work already and the hard part of detecting the wall with a raycast at 1 meter and detecting whether the player has jumped or not is done and working. The problem i am having is actually getting the player to jump off of the wall in the opposite direction with actual velocity. Right now it seems that when the player jumps off the wall it is simply teleporting the player to a cooridinate pair instead of jumping off the wall smoothly, how do I get the player to jump off the wall normally like when jumping off a smooth surface?

Here is my code so far:

public var jumpSpeed : float = 10.0;
private var jumpDirection : Vector3 = Vector3(10,10,0);


  function Update () 
  {
        var fwd = transform.TransformDirection (Vector3.forward);
        
        var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);
        
        if (controller.isGrounded != true)
        {
        	
            if (Physics.Raycast (transform.position, fwd, 1)) 
        	{
            	if (Input.GetButton ("Jump")) 
            	{
            		print("I am here");
                    controller.Move(jumpDirection);
            	}
        	}
        }
  }

It’s Sean.

I don’t think this is going to be the answer but here are some things to play around that may help.

//setting up your move direction
moveDirection = Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Vertical"),0);
moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
moveDirection *= speed;

// Move The controller
controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);

// here you are actually applying your move direction, This would apply inside your 
// if statement. You can also try adding .x and .z for different directions.
// but you would have to pre-determine the users incoming direction in order to use 
// this method properly
moveDirection.y = jumpSpeed;

I dont think you should ever move the controller if you have a motor script. Just give the motor some input movement instead.
