Question by gb3803 · Dec 28, 2013 at 02:14 AM · javascriptscripting problemmonodevelop

how to make it that longer the key is pressed the faster the object rotates?

this is my script

 #pragma strict
 
 var rotationSpeed = 100;
 var jumpHeight = 8;
 
 private var isFalling = false;
 
 function Update () 
 {
   // handle ball rotation.
   var rotation : float = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") * rotationSpeed;
   rotation *= Time.deltaTime;
   rigidbody.AddRelativeTorque (Vector3.back * rotation); 
   
   if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space))
   {
     rigidbody.velocity.y = jumpHeight;
   }
 }

I would increment some number while the button is pressed and use that for the speed:

 private var rot_speed = 0.0;
 
 function Update(){
     var h : float = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
     if(h != 0){
         //$$anonymous$$eep the value positive and increase
         h = $$anonymous$$athf.Abs(h);
         rot_speed += h * Time.deltaTime);
     }
     else{
         //If nothing is pressed, decrease the speed and keep above 0
         rot_speed = $$anonymous$$athf.$$anonymous$$ax(rot_speed - Time.deltaTime, 0.0);
     }
     var rotation : float = rot_speed * Time.deltaTime;
     rigidbody.AddRelativeTorque(...);
 }

This way will only rotate in one direction if you press left or right, but it can be changed to go both directions

You can use an axis, that will scale as you hold the key,, between 0 and 1.

Otherwise as others have said, keep a speed variable and increment it by some constant times the elapsed frame time every Update that the key is pressed.
