i have this car script. on line 24 where it has motor force.

if i change it nothing happens. it was at 300 before, but when i put it to 1000 the speed doesnt increase. it shouldd have increased 3 times. i even wrote 1000 on the unity inspector. why isnt it working?

the car just travels at a speed, but i feel its too slow.

First off, screenshots of code are not a thing. If you post a code snippet, ALWAYS USE CODE TAGS:

Second, to help gain more insight into your problem, I recommend liberally sprinkling Debug.Log() statements through your code to display information in realtime.

Doing this should help you answer these types of questions:

  • is this code even running? which parts are running? how often does it run? what order does it run in?
  • what are the values of the variables involved? Are they initialized? Are the values reasonable?
  • are you meeting ALL the requirements to receive callbacks such as triggers / colliders (review the documentation)

Knowing this information will help you reason about the behavior you are seeing.

You can also put in Debug.Break() to pause the Editor when certain interesting pieces of code run, and then study the scene

You could also just display various important quantities in UI Text elements to watch them change as you play the game.

If you are running a mobile device you can also view the console output. Google for how on your particular mobile target.

Here’s an example of putting in a laser-focused Debug.Log() and how that can save you a TON of time wallowing around speculating what might be going wrong:
