Jump every 2 seconds (Character controller) By Mike Geig

Question

Hi, I saw the live training of 2d Character controller by Mike Geig, and I'm trying that my character jump every 2 seconds, here's the code, the only thing I want the character to do is always to be running and jump every seconds, I already did the first thing but I cant get it to jump, thanks for your help, :), here's the code

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class RobotControllerScripts : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public float maxSpeed = 10f;
         bool facingRight = true;
 
     Animator anim;
 
     bool grounded = false;
     public Transform groundCheck;
     float groundRadius = 0.2f;
     public LayerMask whatIsGround;
     public float jumpForce = 700f;
 
     bool doubleJump = false;
     void Start () 
     {
         anim = GetComponent<Animator> ();
     }
 
     void FixedUpdate () 
     {
 
         grounded = Physics2D.OverlapCircle (groundCheck.position, groundRadius, whatIsGround);
         anim.SetBool ("Ground", grounded);
 
         if (grounded)
             doubleJump = false;
 
         anim.SetFloat ("vSpeed", rigidbody2D.velocity.y);
 
 
         if (!grounded) return;
         float move = 1;
 
         anim.SetFloat ("Speed", Mathf.Abs (move));
 
         rigidbody2D.velocity = new Vector2 (move * maxSpeed, rigidbody2D.velocity.y);
 
         if (move > 0 && !facingRight)
                         Flip ();
         else if (move < 0 && facingRight)
                         Flip ();
     }
 
     void Update()
     {
         if ((grounded || !doubleJump) && Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space)) 
         {
             anim.SetBool("Ground", false);
             rigidbody2D.AddForce (new Vector2(0, jumpForce));
 
             if(!doubleJump && !grounded)
                 doubleJump = true;
         }
     }
 
     void Flip()
     {
         facingRight = !facingRight;
         Vector3 theScale = transform.localScale;
         theScale.x *= -1;
         transform.localScale = theScale;
     }
 }

Also, since I only want the character to always be running and jump every x seconds, the character will not receive input from the player, so if there was a better way to do it, thanks for your help, you're an awesome community :D

I would make a function called Jump(), or something of the like, and in your update function have an InvokeRepeating() function that adds an upward force.

 void Start()
 {
     InvokeRepeating("Jump", 0f, 2f);
 }
 
 void Jump()
 {
     anim.SetBool("Ground", false);
     rigidbody2D.AddForce (new Vector2(0, jumpForce));
 }

Thanks, It worked but I have to put the InvokeRepeating in the Start Function!

$$anonymous$$y bad! I wrote the code without testing it, so sorry for the confusion. Edited for any future users who see this.
