2.5D Platformer — #8 Wall Jumping
Objective: Give the player the ability to wall jump
Our player needs to get to a higher level and to do this, they need the ability to wall jump. To be able to jump off the wall, we need to know when they have touched a wall and then to be able to deflect off the wall in the opposite direction.
To determine if we are touching the wall, the Character Controller provides a method called OnControllerColliderHit.
To identify if we are touching the wall to jump off, let’s give these types of walls a tag of “Wall”
To be able to jump off in the opposite direction, we will use the hit normal provide by the collider when we touch the wall.
We need to change the Update method to factor in when we can wall jump.
Press Play and we have wall jumping!
