Need help moving the player while jumping

I've been having trouble controlling the player while he is in the air after jumping. With the following code, the player jumps a very small amount in the air and comes back down.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class basicMovement : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     public float speed;
7.  
8.  
9.     public float jumpSpeed = 8.0F;
10.     public float gravity = 10.0F;
11.  
12.     private Vector3 currentPos;
13.     private Transform transform1;
14.     private float vertVel;
15.     private Quaternion currentDirection;
16.     private Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero;
17.     private CharacterController controller;
18.  
19.     void FixedUpdate()
20.     {
21.         float h = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
22.         float v = Input.GetAxis ("Vertical");
23.         controller = GetComponent<CharacterController> ();
24.         transform1 = GetComponent<Transform> ();
25.  
26.         currentPos = transform.position;
27.         if(controller.isGrounded)
28.         {
29.  
30.             MovementManagement (h, v);
31.             moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0f, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
32.        
33.             moveDirection *= speed;
34.             if (Input.GetButton("Jump"))
35.             {
36.                 moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), jumpSpeed, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
37.             }
38.        
39.         }
40.         else
41.         {
42.             moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), currentPos.y, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
43.         }
44.  
45.  
46.          
47.         moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
48.         controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
49.        
50.         currentDirection = transform.rotation;
51.     }
52.  
53.  
54.  
55.  
56.  
57.     void Rotating(float horizontal, float vertical)
58.     {
59.         if(horizontal == 0f && vertical == 0f)
60.         {
61.             transform.rotation = currentDirection;
62.         }
63.         else
64.         {
65.             Vector3 targetDirection = new Vector3 (horizontal, 0f, vertical);
66.             Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation (targetDirection, Vector3.up);
67.            
68.             rigidbody.rotation = targetRotation;
69.         }
70.     }
71.  
72.     void MovementManagement(float horizontal, float vertical)
73.     {
74.         Rotating(horizontal,vertical);
75.     }
76. }

By taking out the else statement in the FixedUpdate() function, the player jumps the correct height, however I can't move the player until he reaches the ground again. What would I need to do to the code in order to have the player accept input while jumping?

 

I can't answer your question, but some advice: Move "controller = GetComponent<CharacterController> ()" and "GetComponent<Transform> ()" to VOID START () for optimization.

 

Line 42 appears to be setting the Y component of your current velocity to the Y component of your current position.
