Hello,
I would like to make the Unity 5, Standard asset, RigidBodyFPSController, do Mid air Jumps. Imagine you are flapping your wings, so you can just keep jumping without ever needing to touch the ground.
I am brand new to coding. I have been trying to study the script: I’ve been looking for is_grounded statements, cuting and pasting things, changing falses to trues. Really, I’m randomly throwing darts… and the result is I just keep breaking the script.
Thank you so much for any help with this.
this is psuedo code so it’s not going to work if you copy it, it’s just intended to show you where things need to go. I’ve assumed you don’t have infinite mid air jumps.
///////// psuedo /////////
private int midAirJumpRemaining;
public int maxMidAirJump;
void FixedUpdate()
{
// what to do if we are on the ground
if(grounded)
{
// reset mid air jump count
midAirJumpRemaining = maxMidAirJump;
if(jump input)
{
//do normal jump stuff
}
}
// what to do if we're not on the ground
else
{
if(jump input)
{
// if we have some mid air jumps left
if(midAirJumpRemaining > 0)
{
// do mid air jump stuff
midAirJumpRemaining -= 1;
}
// else => we aren't on the ground but have no jumps left.... do nothing
}
}
}
Thank you LeftyRighty.
My truest apologies, I actually do need infinite jumps. One problem is the script provided by Unity is very long, and uses terms I’m not familiar with. I’ve been trying to copy and paste the add force into the mid air check section… only I can’t really read/write the code well enough to do this without breaking the script. Here is the whole code from Unity, note it is long.

Move Lines 164-169 outside of the If(m_IsGrounded) statement, then you should be able to jump. Just make sure that those lines are placed above line 185 or pressing jump once will cause you to constantly jump upwards forever.
You might also need to remove the “&& !m_Jump” at Line 132. I don’t think you will just from looking at it though.
Acissathar!! It worked!! I can infinite jump!!
I moved the lines 164-169 just above the If(m-IsGrounded). I did not need to remove the “&& !m_Jump” at Line 132.
Thank you!!
