Controlling two object with one Javascript

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

I want to control my two object with one script (different key). I thought, I should define one control setting to one of my object and another controller setting for another object.

(w,a,s,d) for one object
(up,down,left,right) for another object.

How can i do it?

It’s pretty easy using Input.GetKey and KeyCode(which contains values for letters, arrows etc.)

var Object1 : Transform;
var Object2 : Transform;

function Update()
{

// WASD
  if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
  {
    Object1.transform.position.Translate(x,y,z);
  }
  if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
  {
    Object1.transform.position.Translate(x,y,z);
  }
  if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S))
  {
    Object1.transform.position.Translate(x,y,z);
  }
  if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
  {
    Object1.transform.position.Translate(x,y,z); 
  // substitute all the x,y,z with wanted values (try 0.05)
  }

// Arrows
  if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.UpArrow))
  {
    Object2.transform.position.Translate(x,y,z);
  }
  // And so on.. Just substitute UpArrow with DownArrow, Left Arrow and Right Arrow
}

Thats a lot of code dublication. What if you have 4 players? ) Use variables instead of KeyCode and you can use same script for different objects

All you have to do is change the axis. Make it where you vertical and horizontal axis only work with w,a,s,d and then you make two more axis called horizontal 2, and vertical 2. Make those only work with up arrow, down arrow, left arrow, right arrow. You write the code like this.

if(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"))
{
 //Move left and right
}

if(Input.GetAxis("vertical"))
{
 //Move forward and back
}

If you would like I can provide more sample code for you, and show you how to change the axis.
