IsKinematic player completely frozen

Questions & Answers

I have a rigidbody character with the animator component, capsule collider, rigidbody, and my movment script. My problem is is when I press the play button my player first doesn’t fall, and when I press forward, the player plays the running animation, but doesn’t move.

Here is my movement script:

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

public class Mover : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject Player;
    public Rigidbody rb;

    public GameObject Center;
    public GameObject Facing;

    public float JumpForce = 7.5f;
    public float RunSpeed = 2f;

    private bool canJump = true;

    void jump()
    {
        if(canJump == true)
        {

            Player.GetComponent<Animator>().Play("Jumping");
            rb.AddForce(0f, JumpForce, 0f, ForceMode.Impulse);

            canJump = false;
            
            //reset isJumping after 1.5 sec
            Invoke("changeCanJump", 1.5f);
        }
    }

    void changeCanJump()
    {
        canJump = true;
    }



    void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collisionInfo)
    {
        if(collisionInfo.collider.tag == "Enemy")
        {
            Player.GetComponent<Animator>().Play("KnockBack");
        }
    }


    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
        {
            if (Facing.transform.position.z > Center.transform.position.z)
            {
                Player.transform.Rotate(0, 180, 0);
            }

            rb.AddForce(0, 0, -RunSpeed, ForceMode.Force);
            Player.GetComponent<Animator>().Play("WalkCycle1");
            
        } else if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space) || Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
        {
            //rb.AddForce(0, JumpForce * Time.deltaTime, 0, ForceMode.Impulse);
            //Player.GetComponent<Animator>().Play("Jumping");
            
            jump();



        } else if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
        {
            
            if (Facing.transform.position.z < Center.transform.position.z)                           // -Z is forward, Z is backward
            {
                Player.transform.Rotate(0, 180, 0);
                
            }

            //Find the position of the facing gameobject and see what side it is relative to the middle point.
            rb.AddForce(0, 0, RunSpeed, ForceMode.Force);
            Player.GetComponent<Animator>().Play("WalkCycle1");
            
            
        } else 
        {
            Player.GetComponent<Animator>().Rebind ();
        }
    }
}

Hello @lukazkool,

The solution might be in the title of your post. Have you checked isKinematic on RigidBody component in the inspector? On the Unity Rigidbody.isKinematic page, it says: “If isKinematic is enabled, Forces, collisions or joints will not affect the rigidbody anymore”. Therefore, if you are trying to move your player with forces, it won’t work. I hope this is the answer you are looking for.
