Making an object jump while still using touch x axis

Unity Engine
1

I’m tying to make an object jump but still have the object move based on the x axis of the players touch. The result I got was that the object glitches to one point on the y axis and ignore the jump trigger when I use touch but I am still able to control the x movement.

public class Jump : MonoBehaviour
{

    public Rigidbody rb;
    public GameObject gizmo;
    public Vector3 touchPosition;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        Touch touch = Input.GetTouch(0);// * Time.deltaTime * speed

        float gizmoy = gizmo.transform.position.y;
        touchPosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(touch.position.x, transform.position.y, 3));
        transform.position = touchPosition;
    }

    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        rb.AddForce(new Vector3(0, 10, 0), ForceMode.Impulse);
    }
}

Hi @animenatsulucy ,

This is happening because you’re forcing the position of your GameObject on your Update method to be exactly on a specific location:

To avoid this, you should only move your GameObject by using physics instead :wink:

Good luck with it!
