Player Stops Moving When Falling Object Hits Ground

Questions & Answers
1

I just started on Unity a few weeks ago and I got a cube to fall from a random position, but when it hits the ground, I lose control of my player for some reason. The two are in no way connected, so I’m very confused right now. Any suggestions?

Falling Object Script:

public class CubeFall : MonoBehaviour {

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {

    Vector3 pos = transform.position;
    pos.x = Random.Range(-10, 10);
    pos.y = 50;
    pos.z = Random.Range(-10, 10);
    transform.position = pos;

}

}

Player Controls:

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{

public float speed;
public Text countText;
public Text winText;

private Rigidbody rb;
private int count;
void Start()
{
    rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    count = 0;
    SetCountText();
}

void FixedUpdate()
{
    float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
    float moveVertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

    Vector3 movement = new Vector3(moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical);

    rb.AddForce(movement * speed);
}

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Pick Up"))
    {
        other.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        count = count + 1;
        SetCountText();
        speed = count/2;
    }
}

void SetCountText()
{
    countText.text = "Count: " + count.ToString();
    if (count >= 12)
    {
        winText.text = "You Win!";
    }
}

}

Yes these are modifications I’m making based off the original Roll a Ball tutorial. :confused: Super new here.

I suspect this has something to do with your scene setup and not scripting.

Only thing I can think of is that if your floor(plane, terrain, etc…) has a rigidbody and your cube has a rigidbody. The cube might kick your floor out of place.

Make sure that if your floor has a rigidbody it has Is Kinematic set to true.
(floors shouldn’t contain rigidbodies in the first place.)

This is just a shoot in the dark btw.
