Input.acceleration reading Issue

Questions & Answers
1

Hey there, I am experimenting with the tilting controls on mobile and came across with a problem.

The PlayTest level is below. When the ball is rolling on the ground everything works fine, even while jumping. The issue comes when it touches a wall. The movement gets sloppy and the calibration changes for some reason.

As an example, if the ball touches a wall that is facing the camera, tilting the device forward will move the ball backwards.

The code I am using is pretty default, as I copied its core:

(JavaScript)

function Update () 
{	

	var dir : Vector3 = Vector3.zero;
	dir*= Time.deltaTime;
	dir.x = 0.25*Input.acceleration.x;
    dir.z = 0.25*Input.acceleration.y;
    
	
	transform.Translate(dir.x, 0, dir.z);

	
}

Any idea on why this happens /how to fix this?

UpDate: Seems like the problem is actually with transform.Translate

Fixed the problem by using forces to move the ball and still using Input.acceleration to input the directions
