Moving a 2D character along the X and Z axis only.
Hello,
I'm trying to build a game using 2D sprites in 3D environments. Visually it'd kinda look like Paper Mario games but with pixel characters instead of hand-drawn art.
I'm working on my Player characters movement and am trying to get him to move along the X and Z-axis. I can get him to move left and right along the X-axis fine but he'll only move forward, away from the camera and not towards it/the player on the Z (the S key or Down Arrow Key). If I press the S key or Down Arrow Key, it still wants to keep moving forward/up on the Z-axis. Any help is appreciated.
using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour {
public float moveSpeed;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start() {
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update() {
if (Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") > 0.5f || Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") < -0.5f)
{
transform.Translate(new Vector3(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime, 0f, 0f));
}
if (Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") > 0.5f || Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") < -0.5f)
{
transform.Translate(new Vector3(Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") * moveSpeed * 0f, 0f, Time.deltaTime));
}
}
}
Other info: my Player has a Rigidbody not using Gravity but Kinematic instead and Discrete Collision Detection. He also has a Box Collider that helps keep him from falling through the Ground Object. Hope this is enough information. Thanks again.
well you messed something up inside the the transform.Translate part. you twice move on the x axis and on vertical movement you have Time.delta on the z axis.
just to clarify : your Vector3(horizontalAxis,yAxis,verticalAxis) part of the code is this
horizontal = Vector3 (code, 0f, 0f) => correct
vertical = Vector3 (code, 0f, time.deltatime) => should be Vector3(0f, 0f, code)
so I'd recommend you following:
if (Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") > 0.5f || Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") < -0.5f)
{
float hori = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
transform.Translate(new Vector3(hori, 0f, 0f));
}
if (Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") > 0.5f || Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") < -0.5f)
{
float vert = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
transform.Translate(new Vector3( 0f, 0f, vert));
}
untested Code, but I guess this is the correct approach of your code
This worked thank you so much for taking the time to help!
