Why Can't I get 2D object to Move?
I have this 2D animated sprite I am trying to get to move from another script but for some reason only the animation will play but the sprite does not move?
//UP Movement Direction Control
public void COne_DirectionUP(){
Fig01Ani = FigureOne.GetComponent<Animator>();
IconFigOne = GameObject.Find("Figure01Ani").GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
IconFigOne.transform.Translate (Vector2.up * speed);
//SFXmanager SFXfw = FindObjectOfType<SFXmanager> ();
//SFXfw.FigWalkSFX ();
Fig01Ani.Play ("Fig01MoveAni");
}
@Fydar, nope.... I don't get it either I can call the object to move with the button inputs but trying to call the object to move via the "public void COne_DirectionUP()" I get nothing except the animation playing, it very frustrating why one method will work an not the other.
I'll post the whole code just in case I'm missing something. I had to pull a few of the buttons out in order to get the relevant stuff into this reply.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class Character01Input : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour {
//Reference to the Character 01 Game Object
public GameObject FigureOne;
//animator reference
private Animator Fig01Ani;
public float speed;
public Rigidbody2D IconFigOne;
void Start(){
Fig01Ani = FigureOne.GetComponent<Animator>();
IconFigOne = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ();
//disable it on start to stop it from playing the default animation
Fig01Ani.enabled = true;
}
void Update () {
if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$ey ($$anonymous$$eyCode.S)) {//start UP $$anonymous$$ovement
//Fig01Ani.enabled = true;
transform.Translate (Vector2.up * speed);
//SFXmanager SFXfw = FindObjectOfType<SFXmanager> ();
//SFXfw.FigWalkSFX ();
Fig01Ani.Play ("Fig01$$anonymous$$oveAni");
}
else if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$eyUp ($$anonymous$$eyCode.S)) {//Stop
//Fig01Ani.enabled = true;
//SFXmanager SFXfw = FindObjectOfType<SFXmanager> ();
//SFXfw.FigWalkSFX ();
Fig01Ani.Play ("Fig01IdleAni");
}
if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$ey ($$anonymous$$eyCode.W)) {//Start DOWN $$anonymous$$ovement
//Fig01Ani.enabled = true;
transform.Translate (-Vector2.up * speed);
//SFXmanager SFXfw = FindObjectOfType<SFXmanager> ();
//SFXfw.FigWalkSFX ();
Fig01Ani.Play ("Fig01$$anonymous$$oveAni");
}
else if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$eyUp ($$anonymous$$eyCode.W)) {//Stop
//Fig01Ani.enabled = true;
//SFXmanager SFXfw = FindObjectOfType<SFXmanager> ();
//SFXfw.FigWalkSFX ();
Fig01Ani.Play ("Fig01IdleAni");
}
}
//UP $$anonymous$$ovement Direction Control
public void COne_DirectionUP(){
Fig01Ani = FigureOne.GetComponent<Animator>();
IconFigOne = GameObject.Find("Figure01Ani").GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
IconFigOne.transform.Translate (Vector2.up * speed);
//SFXmanager SFXfw = FindObjectOfType<SFXmanager> ();
//SFXfw.FigWalkSFX ();
Fig01Ani.Play ("Fig01$$anonymous$$oveAni");
}
}
I tried putting a Debug in there and it's definitely reaching that part of the blasted code but why it won't move is driving me nuts?
transform.Translate(Vector3.up * speed); & if you use transform.Translate you don't need Rigidbody2D which you already not using it in your script !!! Rigidbody2D should have property of velocity to move
I think Vector2.up may be moving the object in the z coord rather than I, try doing
new Vector3 (0, 1, 0)
IconFigOne is a rigidbody2d. Have your tried IconFigOne.velocity = Vector2.up * speed or IconFigOne.addForce ()
@LazyElephant I did try the first one but not the addForce one. I think it was because it was not being called inside of update? I found a solution using bools to check if my desired moment was true or false and then I call my transform.Translate inside of the void update, that seems to work very well.
Why the line
IconFigOne = GameObject.Find("Figure01Ani").GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
?
would it work if you commented that line out?
also, how are you calling COne_DirectionUP? do you call it per frame, or just once? if you just call it once, are you sure it doesn't just move up a little bit and then stops because you stopped calling it? (i ask because the upward movement in your update that you said works would be called every frame)
Thanks @Fydar I figured it out as it turns out that blasted "transform.Translate" seemed to ONLY want to work inside of update so I had to get a little crafty with some bools to check if my desired direction was true or false and then call my direction moment inside of the update.... not sure if there was a more appropriate way to do this but this seems to work.
