Question

Hi. I am working on basic rigidbody player movement. I have tried this to move the player forward, but if I walk off a cliff I just walk on air while I am moving, but the velocity is local:

rigidbody.velocity = (transform.forward * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

This does make the player fall off a cliff but it isn't local. So, how do I convert this to using local XYZ:

rigidbody.velocity.z = 100 * Time.deltaTime;

Thanks.

In most cases you should not modify the velocity directly, as this can result in unrealistic behaviour.

You should use physical forces instead to get the rigidbody moving.
