3d Character rotation

Questions & Answers

Hello, I’m kinda a beginner when it comes to 3d in unity. I put this script together:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour {
	Animator anim;
	public float speed = 6.0F;
	private Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		anim = GetComponent<Animator>();

	}

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


		float input_x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal1");
		float input_y = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical1");

		bool isWalking = (Mathf.Abs(input_x) + Mathf.Abs(input_y)) > 0;

		anim.SetBool("IsWalking", isWalking);
		if(isWalking)
		{
			anim.SetFloat("x", input_x);
			anim.SetFloat("y", input_y);

			CharacterController controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
			moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal1"), 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical1"));
			moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
			controller.Move(moveDirection * speed * Time.deltaTime);

		}
	}
}

It works fine for the most part. The character plays the walking animation when a key is down and the idle animation when nothing is pressed. However, the character only faces forward even when I move right and left. I don’t know how to fix it…Help please. Thanks in advance,

I fixed it! Here’s my fixed script:

	Animator anim;
	public float speed = 6.0F;
	private Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero;
	public GameObject player;
	public float turnspeed=180f;
	public float jumpSpeed = 8.0F; 
	public float gravity = 20.0F;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		anim = GetComponent<Animator>();

	}

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

		float input_x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal1");
		float input_y = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical1");

		bool isWalking = (Mathf.Abs(input_x) + Mathf.Abs(input_y)) > 0;

		anim.SetBool("IsWalking", isWalking);
		if(isWalking)
		{
			CharacterController controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
				moveDirection = new Vector3 (Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal1"), 0, Input.GetAxis ("Vertical1"));
				player.transform.rotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards (player.transform.rotation, Quaternion.LookRotation (moveDirection), turnspeed * Time.deltaTime);
			moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
			controller.Move(moveDirection * speed * Time.deltaTime);

		}
	}
}
