How to maintain speed on the x axis according the last key pressed ?
Hi,
I'm trying to make a cube move on its x axis. The player gets to control the direction according his input (left arrow or right arrow) but I can't manage to maintain the movement even after he released the button.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed = 5f;
void FixedUpdate()
{
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftArrow))
{
transform.Translate(-speed * Time.deltaTime, 0f, 0f);
}
else if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.RightArrow))
{
transform.Translate(speed * Time.deltaTime, 0f, 0f);
}
}
}
here when I stop pressing the left or right arrow, the cube stops but I want it to keep moving (left or right) even after I release the button. Could you help me please ?

Not tested but should work
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed = 5f;
private float currentSpeed = 0f;
void FixedUpdate()
{
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftArrow))
{
currentSpeed = -1f;
}
else if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.RightArrow))
{
currentSpeed = 1f;
}
transform.Translate(-currentSpeed * Time.deltaTime, 0f, 0f);
}
}
Oh god... it was that simple... Thanks a lot ! I appreciate your help
