Unusual error regarding movement in a top down 2d sidescroller
im trying to get my character to move. my code is (in C#):
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour {
public float speed;
void Update () {
if(Input.GetKey [KeyCode.D]) {
transform.Translate [Vector2.right * speed];
}
}
}
The error I get is error CS0201: Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, and new object expressions can be used as a statement on the line with the transform code
What is my problem? thank you in advance
You're not using function calls correctly - they have parentheses, not square braces.
The syntax is either:
if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
or
if(Input.GetKey("d"))
But if you want to make it support more than one key easily, you could get horizontal movement instead:
float h = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * speed;
float v = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * speed;
transform.Translate(new Vector2(h, v));
This responds to A, D, left and right arrow for horizontal movement, W, S, up and down for vertical movement. All in two calls :)
