Character Movement Issues

Questions & Answers
1

I am attempting to create a game with the old “Double Dragon” style movement. I have basic movement and jumping mostly set. The issue that is giving me the most grief is getting my character to turn around when moving backwards.
Here is my code so far:

function Update () {
var horiz : float = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")* Time.deltaTime * 8;
var vert : float = Input.GetAxis("Vertical")* Time.deltaTime * 5;
transform.Translate(Vector3(-vert,0,0));
transform.Translate(Vector3(0,0,horiz));  
if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && IsGrounded()){
rigidbody.velocity.y = jumpSpeed; 
}
}
var distToGround: float;
var jumpSpeed: float = 8;
function Start(){
  distToGround = collider.bounds.extents.y;
}
function IsGrounded(): boolean {
  return Physics.Raycast(transform.position, -Vector3.up, distToGround + 0.1);
}

Nothing that I’ve tried so far has worked, and this is my first experience with coding, so do assume that I’m an Idiot with this.
Thank You.

Well, I was able to solve it in a weird roundabout way, but it works as long as I don’t want to jump anymore.

var xrestop : float = -120;
var xresbot : float = 60;	
function Update () {     
 var stopPlayer = Camera.main.transform.position.z; 
 var right : float = Input.GetAxis("Right");
 var left : float = Input.GetAxis("Left");
 var vert : float = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");      		       
 if(transform.eulerAngles == Vector3(0,0,0)){             
 	transform.Translate(Vector3(-vert,0,0));
 	transform.Translate(Vector3(0,0,right));
 	transform.position.x = Mathf.Clamp(transform.position.x, xrestop, xresbot);
 	transform.position.z = Mathf.Clamp(transform.position.z, stopPlayer - 200, 10000);
 	}
 else{(transform.eulerAngles == Vector3(0,180,0));
 	transform.Translate(Vector3(vert,0,0));
 	transform.Translate(Vector3(0,0,-left));
 	transform.position.x = Mathf.Clamp(transform.position.x, xrestop, xresbot);
 	transform.position.z = Mathf.Clamp(transform.position.z, stopPlayer - 200, 10000);
 	}
 	
 
 if(Input.GetButtonDown("Left")){
 
 transform.eulerAngles = Vector3(0,180,0);
 }

if(Input.GetButtonDown("Right")){
 transform.eulerAngles = Vector3(0,0,0);
}
