Rigidbody2D.velocity.y value not matching Rigidbody2D.velocity value for the Y plan

…

MyRigidbody.velocity = new Vector2(horizontal * movementSpeed, MyRigidbody.velocity.y);
            Debug.Log("Ridigbody2D X velocity: " + MyRigidbody.velocity.x);
            Debug.Log("Ridigbody2D Y velocity: " + MyRigidbody.velocity.y);
            Debug.Log("Ridigbody2D X & Y velocity: " + MyRigidbody.velocity);

...

The code above always yields a Rigidbody2D.velocity.x value that matches the Rigidbody2D.velocity X value, but the Rigidbody2D.velocity.y value does not match the Rigidbody2D.velocity Y value while applying the new velocity. See console output below:

  • Ridigbody2D X velocity: -1.491004
  • Ridigbody2D Y velocity: -3.72529E-09
  • Ridigbody2D X & Y velocity: (-1.5, 0.0)
  • Ridigbody2D X velocity: -1.996178
  • Ridigbody2D Y velocity: -1.862645E-09
  • Ridigbody2D X & Y velocity: (-2.0, 0.0)

Any ideas why they are not matching? It obviously is not due to rounding.

“It obviously is not due to rounding.” Well, it is. Debug.Log() is rounding each component of the Vector2 to 1d.p.
