Add acceleration and decceleration

[ivory forum]

hello everyone , i making a 2d platformer game and i need to make acceleration and decceleration for smoother movement

i read some articles about using mathf.clamp or rb.addforce but the problem is i using rb.velocity to move my player

i want to know what should i do to fix it
thanks!

can you switch to adding force instead of modifying velocity?

ok i do it but the problem is i cant make acceleration

Alternatively, Lerp the Velocity instead of setting it to a fixed value to keep your original workflow

what

i create 2 vector2 variables called moveAmount and moveInput

moveInput = new vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"),0);

moveAmount = moveInput.normalized * speed;

the on the fixedupdate method i using rb.addForce(moveAmount * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
