AddTorque turning not rotating opposite direction.

Questions & Answers
1

if (Input.GetKey(“a”))
{
Debug.Log(“A”);
rb.AddTorque(Input.GetAxis(“Horizontal”) * -turnSpeed);
}

        else if (Input.GetKey("d"))
        {
            Debug.Log("D");
            rb.AddTorque(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * turnSpeed);

Both pressing ‘A’ and ‘D’ turn the same direction when I would like ‘D’ to turn the opposite way. The rigidbody is 2D by the way.

Any help?
Thanks!

Had same issue, but i figured it out just now.
The problem is in the method Input.GetAxis(“Horizontal”) , it compute the direction, negative for left, positive for right, so when you turn left it gives you a negative value, and what you are doing now is multiplying it with negative turnspeed, so it give again a positive number !!
Hope my answer is not too late.

I suspect you are not entering the d part of the code.

comment out addTorque and try rb.rotation += turnSpeed;
and rb.rotation -= turnSpeed; for a respectively
