rigidbody.velocity not working on x axis

Questions & Answers
1

I have this code that pushes the player when they collide with the object its attached to either up down left or right depending on the integer. It works fine for the y axis, but it doesn’t move the player on the x-axis

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
	{
		if(other.gameObject.tag == "Player")
		{
			other.rigidbody.velocity = new Vector2(xPower, yPower);
		}
	}

if yPower = 10 or -10 and xPower = 0. It will push the player either up or down. But if xPower = 10 or -10, and yPower = 0 it will not push the player Left/Right. Does anybody know why?

A potential issue might be that you are using a normal rigidbody with a 2D player, rigidbody2D is probs better in this case, seeing as you are using 2D stuff. Other then that, have you tried using Debug.Log to see if your code is being run correctly? Also, you might wanna provide the code for the calculation for xPower, as your problem might actually be there

If you constrained the x position on the rigid body, velocity does not apply to the x-axis.
