Variable Jump Height Based on Spacebar Input

mattymill · November 1, 2022, 1:56pm

Im fairly new to Unity and I am currently working on my first project to build a 2D Platformer. Im familiar with coding in general as ive taken lots of course in High School such as AP Computer Science, but Im completely new to C#. I used a character controller from Brackeys for my movement purposes as Im not experienced enough to create one on my own. It works really well but the only issue is the jumping is set to a fixed height. Ive tried messing around with it to no avail. I would really appreicate any good starter tips/pointers for how this might be possible to implement in this code. Thank you.

This link should bring you to the code I am currently using:

github.com

Brackeys/2D-Character-Controller/blob/master/CharacterController2D.cs

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Events;

public class CharacterController2D : MonoBehaviour
{
	[SerializeField] private float m_JumpForce = 400f;							// Amount of force added when the player jumps.
	[Range(0, 1)] [SerializeField] private float m_CrouchSpeed = .36f;			// Amount of maxSpeed applied to crouching movement. 1 = 100%
	[Range(0, .3f)] [SerializeField] private float m_MovementSmoothing = .05f;	// How much to smooth out the movement
	[SerializeField] private bool m_AirControl = false;							// Whether or not a player can steer while jumping;
	[SerializeField] private LayerMask m_WhatIsGround;							// A mask determining what is ground to the character
	[SerializeField] private Transform m_GroundCheck;							// A position marking where to check if the player is grounded.
	[SerializeField] private Transform m_CeilingCheck;							// A position marking where to check for ceilings
	[SerializeField] private Collider2D m_CrouchDisableCollider;				// A collider that will be disabled when crouching

	const float k_GroundedRadius = .2f; // Radius of the overlap circle to determine if grounded
	private bool m_Grounded;            // Whether or not the player is grounded.
	const float k_CeilingRadius = .2f; // Radius of the overlap circle to determine if the player can stand up
	private Rigidbody2D m_Rigidbody2D;
	private bool m_FacingRight = true;  // For determining which way the player is currently facing.
	private Vector3 m_Velocity = Vector3.zero;

In that case, may I encourage you to use the search function? This has been asked many times before with a variety of solutions for both 2D and 3D. Just search for “hold space jump”…
