Question about angrybots player controls
Hi, I'm a noob. I've been playing around with the angrybots scripts. I'm trying to understand where in the code it pulls the keyboard input to control the Player. I've setup a new scene with a plane and capsule. I've named the capsule Player and assigned the "Free Movement Motor" and "Player Move Controller" scripts. I can get the capsule to move around the screen just like the angrybots character. I just don't understand where it is getting the WASD keyboard inputs. I can see the code that controls the camera. Is there a tear down that anyone can point me to. I would really like to understand. Thanks in advance for the help!
It is in the update in the PlayerMoveController.
The thing that may be tripping you up is that the reference it is making is from the Input(Edit->Project->Input->Expand Axes) settings.
In the update method/function you will notice is:
motor.movementDirection = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") * screenMovementRight + Input.GetAxis ("Vertical") * screenMovementForward;
When you expand and look at the settings for Input, you should see Horizontal and Vertical. Expand them, you will see the defined keys, etc.
Thank you so much! I can't tell you how many hours I've wasted trying to figure this out. I'm trying to give you points, but my account is too new. :( I hope you have any amazing day!
