How would I make it so that my character moves only so fast

I have tried add constant force but the problem with that is that the game objects moves faster and faster. I want to my character at the same speed all the time (unless it runs into a wall). Could someone please help me.

That’s a common mistake: applying a force to a rigidbody creates an acceleration, which is a velocity variation - thus a constant force will make the rigidbody velocity increase at a constant rate (sky is the limit).

You can limit the velocity with Vector3.ClampMagnitude without modifying its direction (character script):

var maxVel: float = 12;

function FixedUpdate(){
  rigidbody.velocity = Vector3.ClampMagnitude(rigidbody.velocity, maxVel);
}
