Limit Rigid Body Velocity

[polygon]

Hi

I need to set a limit for the maximal velocity of a rigid body. The rigid body is a 3d object and can move in all directions (+-x, +-y and +-z). On the unity forums I found a script that exactly does this and I tried to recreate it in playmaker. Here's the script (originally created by user "whydoidoit")

     public float maxSpeed = 200f;//Replace with your max speed
     
    void FixedUpdate()
    {
    if(rigidbody.velocity.magnitude > maxSpeed)
    {
    rigidbody.velocity = rigidbody.velocity.normalized * maxSpeed;
    }
    }

I am able to create a FSM with a "Get Component" Action that gets the "rigidbody.velocity.magnitude".
This magnitude gets stored in a float variable and I check via float compare if the magnitude has reached my defined max speed. But the tricky part comes now: I can't figure out how to set "rigidbody.velocity.normalized" via "Set Property" action in playmaker. I don't have access to this command because it doesn't show up in the list of available properties :-/

Thanks for your help and best regards,
Daniel

Give this a try and let me know if it works.

Thank you very much for your support!

The attached action doesn't seem to have any influence on the object (I added it as the start state in a new fsm on the rigid body object) but the velocity doesn't clamp.

I changed "public override void OnFixedUpdate()" to "public override void OnUpdate()" and this works now. But I'm not sure if this is a good way to get things done because the unity documentation says that FixedUpdate should be used with rigid bodies, as you did it in your script.

I'm a bit confused why it doesn't work with FixedUpdate 

Best regards,

By the way: The script I quoted in my initial post works and it's using FixedUpdate too. Quite confusing...

I'll look into it a little more.

It's alright to use update but the oscillation between fixed update frames and update frames will probably cause some stuttering when it hits the velocity cap.. If it's not notice then it's not a problem.

Thanks for your help I'm looking forward to hear from you

Forgot to add an Awake function for using FixedUpdate.

Should work now.

Thank you very much! It works fine
