Project in play mode creates a lagspike when pressing/releasing a key

Questions & Answers

Hi, as the title sais, my problem is that while I´m in play mode, everytime I press a key on my keyboard, the project laggs for half a second. This also happens when releasing the key again, but not when holding it down. My guess is that it is caused by my Character Controller, but I´m not sure.
Here is said PlayerController:

`using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField] Transform playerCamera = null;
[SerializeField] float mouseSens = 3.5f;
[SerializeField] float speed = 6f;
[SerializeField] float smoothTime = 0.2f;
[SerializeField] float gravity = -9.81f;
[SerializeField] float jumpHeight = 2f;
[SerializeField] bool lockMouse = true;

float camRotation = 0f;

float veloY = 0f;

Vector2 currDir = Vector2.zero;
Vector2 currDirVelo = Vector2.zero;

Vector2 currMouseDelta = Vector2.zero;
Vector2 currMouseDeltaVelo = Vector2.zero;

CharacterController controller = null;
void Start()
{
    controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();

    if(lockMouse) {Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;Cursor.visible = false;}

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    UpdateLook();
    UpdateMove();       
}

void UpdateLook() {

    Vector2 targetMouseDelta = new Vector2(Input.GetAxis("Mouse X"), Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y"));

    currMouseDelta = Vector2.SmoothDamp(currMouseDelta, targetMouseDelta, ref currMouseDeltaVelo, smoothTime/10f);

    camRotation -= currMouseDelta.y * mouseSens;

    camRotation = Mathf.Clamp(camRotation, -90f, 90f);

    playerCamera.localEulerAngles = Vector3.right * camRotation;

    transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * currMouseDelta.x * mouseSens);
}

void UpdateMove() {

    Vector2 targetDir = new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"));

    targetDir.Normalize();

    currDir = Vector2.SmoothDamp(currDir, targetDir, ref currDirVelo, smoothTime);

    if(controller.isGrounded) {veloY = 0f;}

    if(Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && controller.isGrounded) {
        veloY = Mathf.Sqrt(jumpHeight * -2f * gravity);
    }

    veloY += gravity * Time.deltaTime;

    Vector3 velocity = (transform.forward * currDir.y + transform.right * currDir.x) * speed + Vector3.up * veloY;

    controller.Move(velocity * Time.deltaTime);

}

}`

One weard thing to me is that these lag spikes do not occur in other projects which use a similar way to get an input to move a player. Here is one example of a project that did not cause any lagspikes to me.

I´m using Unity 2020.3.25f1

Any help is appreciated, even if it does not help :wink:

Sorry for the messed up look of the code… It looked normal for me before publishing my question…
