Basic movement not working?

Questions & Answers
1

So, This Basic Movement script, causes me to have a break-dancing cube which is uncontrollable.

#pragma strict


var speed = 1.0;
var rotateSpeed = 3.0;

 function Update ()
 {
     var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);
     transform.Rotate(0, Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") * rotateSpeed, 0);

     var forward = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
     var curSpeed = speed * Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
     controller.SimpleMove(forward * curSpeed);
 }

 @script RequireComponent(CharacterController)

Please note, this is BEFORE i hit a button aswell as after

Instead of using Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W) go trhough unity’s inputs. so use this code instead,

if( Input.GetAxis ("Vertical") > 0)//You only want the positive
       transform.position += transform.forward * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;

For more information, go to the GetAxis documentation, found here:
http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Input.GetAxis.html

I figured it out, it’s because I had a Box Collider already, and was using a script to create a CharacterController, My guess was that they were colliding with eachother, causing the Box Collider to “Bounce”

Your problem is not in this part of code, because it looks fine.

You should have a look at what changes you made between recently (start of broken behaviour) and now to find out what code broke your movement. :slight_smile:
