I am currently making a custom character controller that has its own physics
I am running into a problem with my controller and my velocity is now moving in a direction I don’t expect it go. I was only holding W and looking forwards but it moved to the left aswell
This doesn’t happen if my maxspeed is very high or I have no maxspeed
function Physics_Process(delta)
if self_.camera and self_.player and self_.focused then
local move_vel = get_movevector() -- PlayerModule:GetControls():GetMoveVector()
local velocity_xz, velocity_y = Vector3.new(move_vel.X, 0, move_vel.Z), Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
if not On_Floor() then
self_.velocity += Vector3.new(0, -(MoverController.pl.pl_gravity * delta), 0)
else
self_.velocity += Vector3.new(0, -self_.velocity.Y, 0)
if UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.Space) then
self_.velocity += Vector3.new(0, MoverController.pl.pl_jump_height, 0)
end
end
local move, jump = Vector3.new(self_.velocity.X, 0, self_.velocity.Z), Vector3.new(0, self_.velocity.Y, 0)
local move_alpha, jump_alpha = 1, 0.5
local move_goal = nil
local max_speed = 250
if not UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.W) and not UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.A) and not UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.S) and not UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.D) then
move_vel = Vector3.zero
velocity_xz = Vector3.zero
move = Vector3.zero
end
if self_.grounded == true then
max_speed = MoverController.limits.pl_max_speed
else
max_speed = MoverController.limits.pl_max_speed_air
self_.groundedTime = 0
end
if not On_Floor() then
self_.grounded = false
if move_vel ~= Vector3.zero then
move_alpha = MoverController.acceleration.pl_accelerate_air
else
move_alpha = MoverController.friction.pl_friction_air
end
else
if not self_.grounded then
Delay_Ground()
end
if move_vel ~= Vector3.zero then
move_alpha = MoverController.acceleration.pl_accelerate
else
move_alpha = MoverController.friction.pl_friction
end
end
move = Vector3.new( -- Problem begins here
math.clamp(move.X, -max_speed, max_speed),
0,
math.clamp(move.Z, -max_speed, max_speed)
)
move = move:Lerp(velocity_xz + move , move_alpha)
jump = jump:Lerp(jump, jump_alpha)
self_.velocity = self_.velocity:Lerp((move + jump), move_alpha + .07)
self_.velocity = Vector3.new(
self_.velocity.X,
self_.velocity.Y,
self_.velocity.Z
)
self_.oldgrounded = self_.grounded
Physics_Apply(max_speed, delta)
end
end
I don’t know what the problem may be, I’m sorry, I don’t understand even half of the script you’ve sent, but it may be because you are using math.clamp? I’m not sure if that’s the one but if I’m not wrong it makes it go below of one number? Not an expert sorry
Wait, it is math.clamp? So the problem is that you are trying to set maxVelocity without that happening, I understood only now have you tried using math.round or math.ceil not sure if it’s called that, try that or maybe even remove the math.clamp
Is anyone able to help me solve this? I tried doing this and I still havent gotten a solution and it is really preventing me from finishing my controller:
These won’t be able to solve my problem, I am trying to set a limit to how fast I can go without my character curving to the left or right. In the gif attached I’m only holding W and looking straight but I still move to the side.
I am sorry if this doesn’t make sense, I am also pretty confused why it does this…
Try clamping the magnitude instead of the components.
This was the function I used from Sleitnicks VectorUtil
local VectorUtil = {}
function VectorUtil.ClampMagnitude(vector, maxMagnitude)
return (vector.Magnitude > maxMagnitude and (vector.Unit * maxMagnitude) or vector)
end
