[Part 22] Rigidbody2D Movement Not on FixedUpdate

Hi,

I added Rigidbody2Ds to my enemies to that they’d collide with each other, instead of overlapping, but they started moving incredibly slow.

I realised that the Move() function executes Rigidbody2D movement on an Update, not a FixedUpdate. After I changed it so that the Rigidbody2D movement code was executed through a FixedUpdate, it fixed the issue.

Kind Regards, Sean

Also, regarding the knockback in the Update function, should this be handled by the rigidbody too if one is present?

Yes. Theoretically speaking, putting it on FixedUpdate() should give you more consistent behaviour, so you should always do that when it is possible.

I haven’t run into any issues doing it on Update(), but Unity advises that all changes to Rigidbodies should be made on FixedUpdate() as a best practice.
