momentum canceling

Questions & Answers
1

Hello, I’m making a 2d platform game and my player’s momentum is having problems. When I jump on a moving platform going up/right/left my character shoots in the direction the platform was going in much farther than a regular jump and he does not start falling down for a long time. Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks,

I actually don’t know what a physics walker script is… but I’m using the platform controller script from the 2DGameplayTutorialProject in the walkthrough. I found that applying a rigidbody component to the character and setting both drags to 30 helps, but It’s only a temporary fix. Is there anything that can fix this for good?

`class PlatformerControllerJumping {
// Can the character jump?
var enabled = true;

function onJump ()
{
velocity = 0;
angularVelocity = 0;
}

	// How high do we jump when pressing jump and letting go immediately
var height = 1.0;
// We add extraHeight units (meters) on top when holding the button down longer while jumping
var extraHeight = 4.1;

// This prevents inordinarily too quick jumping
// The next line, @System.NonSerialized , tells Unity to not serialize the variable or show it in the inspector view.  Very handy for organization!
@System.NonSerialized
var repeatTime = 0.05;

@System.NonSerialized
var timeout = 0.15;

// Are we jumping? (Initiated with jump button and not grounded yet)
@System.NonSerialized
var jumping = false;

@System.NonSerialized
var reachedApex = false;

// Last time the jump button was clicked down
@System.NonSerialized
var lastButtonTime = -10.0;

// Last time we performed a jump
@System.NonSerialized
var lastTime = -1.0;

// the height we jumped from (Used to determine for how long to apply extra jump power after jumping.)
@System.NonSerialized
var lastStartHeight = 0.0;

}

var jump : PlatformerControllerJumping;

private var controller : CharacterController;

// Moving platform support.
private var activePlatform : Transform;
private var activeLocalPlatformPoint : Vector3;
private var activeGlobalPlatformPoint : Vector3;
private var lastPlatformVelocity : Vector3;

// This is used to keep track of special effects in UpdateEffects ();
private var areEmittersOn = false;

function Awake () {
movement.direction = transform.TransformDirection (Vector3.forward);
controller = GetComponent (CharacterController);
Spawn ();
}
