Creating a JumpPad for a Rigidbody FPS Controller in C#

I've asked this at least twice before, but no one has been able to help me yet.

I want to make a jump pad the launches the player upward. How on earth can I do this with a Rigidbody FPS Controller? All I know is that I need to use OntriggerEnter.

 

Check out the AddForce function on the Rigidbody. The example documentation applies a forward force, you'd want an upwards one (transform.up instead of transform.forward)

http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.AddForce.html

 

The bigger problem is that I don't know how to go about applying the addforce at all. I'm pretty much stumped on how to make a jump pad at all. All that I do know is that I want the player to walk into the platform's trigger collider which will then send the player upward through the use of the rigidbody.

 

Well you've got the logic correct, so what aspect are you struggling with via code? What have you written so far?

The documentation I linked you to shows you how to retrieve the Rigidbody component and use AddForce.

 

I finally figured it out: I was using AddForce when I should have been using Velocity.
