Hi! Does anybody know or have a method

[sweet merlin]

There are simple ways, such as using drag or clamping horizontal velocity, and there are complex ways

I actually made a whole asset that (among other things) does exactly this

[supple plaza]

can i get the link?

[sweet merlin]

Well it's not free but if you want to see how it works...

But you can do things in a simpler way

[supple plaza]

the problem with setting the velocity or clamping is that if i have external forces for example a launchpad it stops

[sweet merlin]

Ah yeah that's the EXACT problem my asset solves

it's quite complicated to allow external forces and also enforce speed limits

hence why I spent months solving it and turning it into an asset

[supple plaza]

would love to get your asset but i'm broke ;-;. Do you know any way of making drag purely horizontal?

[sweet merlin]

apply it yourself in code

instead of using the linear damping thing on Rigidbody

[supple plaza]

tried a bunch of methods

pretty much all of them lead to slamming the player like a wall at high speeds

[sweet merlin]

it's pretty basic. Like:

Vector3 vel = rb.linearVelocity;

// save vertical for later
float y = vel.y;

// isolate just the horizontal
vel.y = 0;

// apply whatever clamping or drag you want to the horiztonal velocity, e.g.
vel = Vector3.ClampMagnitude(vel, maxHorizontalVelocity);

// add vertical back
vel.y = y;
rb.linearVelocity = vel;```
