Jumping acts weird

Getting Started

I am trying to implement some basic 2D movement using the input system. I have created an Action Map called Player with 2 actions, Jump and Move. After that I have generated a C# class for this Input Actions.

The horizontal movement works fine but when I try to jump using space the character does not move until I press space multiple times, after that the character launches into space :smile: disregarding the float value I have specified.

How can I make the character react to the first space press?

Here it’s the code for for the player script:

public class Input : MonoBehaviour
{
    private Rigidbody2D rb;
    private PlayerInputActions playerInputActions;

    [SerializeField]
    private float moveSpeed = 4f;

    private void Awake()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();

        playerInputActions = new PlayerInputActions();
        playerInputActions.Player.Enable();
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Vector2 inputVector = playerInputActions.Player.Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        rb.velocity = new Vector2(inputVector.x, rb.velocity.y) * moveSpeed;

        if (playerInputActions.Player.Jump.triggered)
        {
            Jump();
        }
    }

    public void Jump()
    {
        Debug.Log("Trying to jump");
        rb.velocity = Vector2.up * 3f;
    }
}

put the check for jump in an Update() function

Using forces gives a more dynamic flow.
