I have finished checking the game for any flaws. The controls are working fine. I helped with the creation of the controls and contributed to the overall design of the game.
This was the final script for the movement of the car:
public class PlayerControl : MonoBehaviour
{
public float playerSpeed = 100;
public float bankSpeed = 0.2f;
public float speed = 10.0f;
public float jumpForce = 10.0f;
public float gravityForce = 20.0f;
public int bankAngle = 70;
public CharacterController controller;
(These are the functions defined at the top. Each have a subsequent value due to the valuables below)
private Vector3 dir;
private Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero;
private float expSpeed;
//public static float pSpeed;
// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
//publish playerSpeed via pSpeed
//pSpeed = playerSpeed;
// this.expSpeed = this.playerSpeed;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
#region Move the player
//Get the left and right arrow keys to control the x direction of player
float horMov = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * playerSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
(This tells the program to use the left and right keys and control the movement of the car in the X direction)
// Get the up and down arrow keys to control the y direction of player
float verMov = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * playerSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
(This tells the program to use the left and right keys and control the movement of the car in the Y direction)
//exponitially increase speed
this.expSpeed = (this.expSpeed * 1.01f);
(This increases the speed of the car linearly per second)
// move the player left and right
transform.Translate(Vector3.right * (horMov+expSpeed));
//move the forward and backward
transform.Translate(Vector3.back * -verMov);
(This moves the car left and right)
#endregion
//clamp the player movement
this.transform.position = new Vector3(Mathf.Clamp(this.transform.position.x, -30f, 50f),
this.transform.position.y,
Mathf.Clamp(this.transform.position.z, -220f, -170f));
(This limits the movement of the car so that it will not go beyond a certain limit. The clamping ensures that when the car moves left or right, it will only more beyond a certain point)
#region bank the player
// Set rotation to local Angles
Vector3 rotation = this.transform.localEulerAngles;
//Set Velocity
float velocity = 0.0F;
// set the rotation on z to the input of the verticle buttons using smoothDampAngle to:
// Slowly rotate when button is pressed and then return to orginal angle when button is released
rotation.z = Mathf.SmoothDampAngle(rotation.z, -Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * bankAngle, ref velocity, bankSpeed);
transform.localEulerAngles = rotation;
#endregion
#region jump
//apply gravity
dir.y = controller.velocity.y - gravityForce * Time.deltaTime;
//jump
if (Input.GetKeyUp("space"))
{
dir.y = jumpForce * gravityForce * Time.deltaTime;
}
#endregion
}
