mid air movement

Questions & Answers

Sorry for my bad english!

I’m new to unity and coding and recently made a fps movement script. I really liked how it turned out but I have a problem that I can’t solve. My mid air movement is too snappy. When im in the air my movement is too snappy. It instantly changed direction in the air but I want it to be like minecraft mid air movement, not snappy but you still have some control in the air.

here is my code (It’s messy sorry):

using System.Collections;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using UnityEngine;

using System;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{

//Playercontrollerthings
public CharacterController controller;
private Rigidbody rb;

//moving
public float SpeedMove = 12f;
float x, z;
Vector3 move;

//gravity
Vector3 velocity;
public float gravity = -9.81f;

//Checkifimonground
public Transform groundCheck;
public float groundDistance = 0.4f;
public LayerMask groundMask;
bool isGrounded;

//jump
public float jumpHeight = 1f;

//Crouching
private Vector3 crouchScale = new Vector3(1, 0.7f, 1);
private Vector3 playerScale = new Vector3(0.8f, 1.24f, 0.8f);
private float crouchy = 1f;
private bool readyToJump = true;

void Awake()
{
    rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}

//keeps updating the voids I guess
void Update()
{
    GetInput();
    DecideWhatDirection();
    Movement();
    Gravity();
    CheckIfGrounded();
    VelocityFix();
    Jump();

}

//Checks my input
void GetInput()
{
    x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
    z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftControl))
        StartCrouch();
    if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.LeftControl))
        StopCrouch();
}

//Starts crouching
void StartCrouch()
{
    transform.localScale = crouchScale;
    crouchy = 0.2f;
    readyToJump = false;
}

//Stops crouching
void StopCrouch()
{
    transform.localScale = playerScale;
    crouchy = 1f;
    readyToJump = true;
}

//Decides what way im going
void DecideWhatDirection()
{
    move = transform.right * x + transform.forward * z;
}

//moves the playercontroller
void Movement()
{
    if (isGrounded)
    {
        controller.Move(move * SpeedMove * Time.deltaTime * crouchy);
    }

    if (!isGrounded)
    {
        controller.Move(move * SpeedMove * Time.deltaTime * 0.5f);
    }
}

//gravity
void Gravity()
{
    velocity.y += gravity * Time.deltaTime;
    controller.Move(velocity * Time.deltaTime);
}

//checks if im on the ground or not
void CheckIfGrounded()
{
    isGrounded = Physics.CheckSphere(groundCheck.position, groundDistance, groundMask);
}

//Fixes velocity falling
void VelocityFix()
{
    if (isGrounded && velocity.y < 0)
    {
        velocity.y = -2f;
    }
}

//jump
void Jump()
{
    if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && isGrounded && readyToJump)
    {
        velocity.y = Mathf.Sqrt(jumpHeight * -2 * gravity);
    }
}

}

So, the reason that Minecraft movement feels the way it does is that like a lot of games, it uses a rigid body movement system. This means that it is physics-based. I would recommend looking for a tutorial that talks about rigid body movement as they are a bit harder to nail down perfectly but are quite normal and are used commonly. Generally, in games, it will make movement in the air some percentage of normal movement.
