how to make an object jump forward

[Splankton]

What is the best way to move an object forward and up, to simulate a jump?
The object has a rigidbody, so I've tried using add force, but it doesn't move it at all (I added y=5, x=5 into the fields)
Is there something else to check in add force, or should I use some other action?

Have you tried adding more force than 5?

The force needed will depend on the mass of your rigidbody

The mass is set to 1 and I've tried values more than 5 so I don't know why it isn't moving.
So I'm going to use the animation editor and move the z axis that way. It'll give me more control over using add force, although may look less natural

Are you sure you're adding enough force, and adding the force locally?

I just tested and can make a cube with mass of 1 jump forward nicely by adding 500 and 200 to Y and Z axes respectively..

Ah, I've not tried anything that high. Thanks for your help
