Movin' camera in XYZ
Hi Everyone, i completely new to unity scripting. I´m working on a camera flight through a landscape. Navigating in x and z space by pressing buttons works fine. i used this script:
function Update () {
var x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime * speed;
var z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * Time.deltaTime * speed;
transform.Translate(x, 0, z);
}
but now i try to move in y direction as well as in z direction. WSAD control x&y. how can i assign other keys to move in y space? thank you for your help dirk
I just formatted your code. You can do this by highlighting all your code, then clicking the 10101 button at the top of the edit window =]
You can use the Input Manager :

http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/Input.html
or use GetKey :
http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Input.GetKey.html
function Update () {
var x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime * speed;
var z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * Time.deltaTime * speed;
var y : float;
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Q)) {
y = -1.0 * Time.deltaTime * speed;
}
else if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E)) {
y = 1.0 * Time.deltaTime * speed;
}
transform.Translate(x, y, z);
}
thanks jay kay!
Hi There. No worries, happy if some of this info helped. There is Input $$anonymous$$anager (as alot of people have linked to!) or Get$$anonymous$$ey / Get$$anonymous$$eyDown/Get$$anonymous$$eyUp. I thought I would show an example of Get$$anonymous$$ey just to show something different.
Oh, by the way :

Create a new axis in the Input Manager called "Altitude" with a negative and positive button.
function Update () {
var x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime * speed;
var y = Input.GetAxis("Altitude") * Time.deltaTime * speed;
var z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * Time.deltaTime * speed;
transform.Translate(x, y, z);
}
Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1");
assign Fire1 to whatever you like
Hi!
In your Scenario you are using axis, not keys at the moment. You can add axis or keys via the Input Manager (Edit->Project Settings->Input) You see, Horizontal and Vertical are there defined Already. You Could add an own one by increasing the Size by one and changing the name of the bottommost element to your chosen one.
[Input Manager Reference][1]
Alternately you could use Input.GetKey(KeyCode.[YourKey]) in your code to get your wanted behaviour.
