This is my first time using Unity and I was excited for the new Native 2D but after 8 hours and like 4 tutorials I still cant get my character to move. I keep getting errors. Any help would be appreciated, just trying to get my feet off the ground.
Here is my Player Controller movement script:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class PlayerControl : MonoBehaviour
{
[HideInInspector]
public bool facingRight = true; // For determining which way the player is currently facing.
[HideInInspector]
public bool jump = false; // Condition for whether the player should jump.
public float moveForce = 365f; // Amount of force added to move the player left and right.
public float maxSpeed = 5f; // The fastest the player can travel in the x axis.
public float jumpForce = 1000f; // Amount of force added when the player jumps.
private Transform groundCheck; // A position marking where to check if the player is grounded.
private bool grounded = false; // Whether or not the player is grounded.
private Animator anim; // Reference to the player's animator component.
void Awake()
{
// Setting up references.
groundCheck = transform.Find("groundCheck");
anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
}
void Update()
{
// The player is grounded if a linecast to the groundcheck position hits anything on the ground layer.
grounded = Physics2D.Linecast(transform.position, groundCheck.position, 1 << LayerMask.NameToLayer("Ground"));
// If the jump button is pressed and the player is grounded then the player should jump.
if(Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && grounded)
jump = true;
}
void FixedUpdate ()
{
// Cache the horizontal input.
float h = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
// The Speed animator parameter is set to the absolute value of the horizontal input.
anim.SetFloat("Speed", Mathf.Abs(h));
// If the player is changing direction (h has a different sign to velocity.x) or hasn't reached maxSpeed yet...
if(h * rigidbody2D.velocity.x < maxSpeed)
// ... add a force to the player.
rigidbody2D.AddForce(Vector2.right * h * moveForce);
// If the player's horizontal velocity is greater than the maxSpeed...
if(Mathf.Abs(rigidbody2D.velocity.x) > maxSpeed)
// ... set the player's velocity to the maxSpeed in the x axis.
rigidbody2D.velocity = new Vector2(Mathf.Sign(rigidbody2D.velocity.x) * maxSpeed, rigidbody2D.velocity.y);
// If the input is moving the player right and the player is facing left...
if(h > 0 && !facingRight)
// ... flip the player.
Flip();
// Otherwise if the input is moving the player left and the player is facing right...
else if(h < 0 && facingRight)
// ... flip the player.
Flip();
// If the player should jump...
if(jump)
{
// Set the Jump animator trigger parameter.
anim.SetTrigger("Jump");
// Add a vertical force to the player.
rigidbody2D.AddForce(new Vector2(0f, jumpForce));
// Make sure the player can't jump again until the jump conditions from Update are satisfied.
jump = false;
}
}
void Flip ()
{
// Switch the way the player is labelled as facing.
facingRight = !facingRight;
// Multiply the player's x local scale by -1.
Vector3 theScale = transform.localScale;
theScale.x *= -1;
transform.localScale = theScale;
}
}
