2D basic character controller help

Unity Engine
1

Hey Guys,
I have a basic script going for my character however I am unable to manipulate the rigidbody’s velocity. The player flips and faces the right way, but he stays in the same place.Here is my code:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class playerController : MonoBehaviour {

private Animator playerAnim;
private Rigidbody2D playerBody;

public float maxSpeed;
bool grounded;
bool isFacingRight;

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
grounded = true;
playerBody = GetComponent ();
playerAnim = GetComponent();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {

float moveInp = Input.GetAxis(“Horizontal”);
playerBody.velocity = new Vector2 (moveInp * maxSpeed, playerBody.velocity.y);

if (moveInp > 0) {
gameObject.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler (new Vector3 (0, 0, 0));
isFacingRight = true;
} else if (moveInp < 0) {
gameObject.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler (new Vector3 (0, 180, 0));
isFacingRight = false;
}

}
}

Please try to use code tags when posting snippets of code:

Trying using AddForce instead of setting the velocity directly, and you should be doing physics operations within FixedUpdate, not regular Update.

playerBody.AddForce(moveInp * maxSpeed * Time.deltaTime, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
