Rigidbody not being effected by unity's gravity.

Questions & Answers
1

Hello, I’m new to unity so forgive my newbish question, anyway i have a character, rigidbody attached with capsule collider, kinematic is turned off and gravity is turned on mass is set to 100 and drag is at 1 but when i move the character over to and edge of terrain (not the end of the terrain object but a “cliff” in the terrain) the character only moves down the y axis at a rate of like .001 per frame. I feel that my rotation script is to blame but i cannot figure out how to fix this problem.

heres my movement script

public class Movement: MonoBehaviour {

public Transform lookingObj;
Plane ground;

void Start () {
}

void Update () {

	ground = new Plane(Vector3.up, transform.position);

	Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
	float dist;

	if (ground.Raycast(ray, out dist)) {
		Vector3 clickPoint = ray.GetPoint(dist);
		Vector3 newClickPoint = new Vector3(clickPoint.x, clickPoint.y, clickPoint.z);
		lookingObj.LookAt(newClickPoint);
	}

}

}

all the other aspects work fine but if i need to rewrite this code to make the gravity work i will do that.

Thanks a bunch!

I’m not a C# coder, but I have a Java Script that should help you. It requires a character controller, and I’ve cut out the animations bit for you. It has gravity applied to the character. It also comes with movement, rotation and jumping. I think that character controllers come with Unity. Either that or I got it for nothing off of the Asset Store.

var speed : float = 6.0;
var jumpSpeed : float = 8.0;
var gravity : float = 20.0;
var rotateSpeed : float = 3.0;

private var moveDirection : Vector3 = Vector3.zero;

function Update() {
	var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);
	if (controller.isGrounded) {
		//Grounded, so recalculate
		//Move directly from axes
		moveDirection = Vector3(0, 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
		
		//Rotation Code
		transform.Rotate(0, Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * rotateSpeed, 0);
		
		moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
		moveDirection *= speed;
		
		if (Input.GetButton ("Jump")) {
			moveDirection.y = jumpSpeed;
		}
	}
	
	//Apply Gravity
	moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
	
	//Move Controller
	controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
}
