help : no keyboard commands working on Snow Leopard

Unity Engine
1

installing unity 2.6.1 on my new macbook pro after my old PPC crashed.
Now on Mac OSX 10.6.3 intel.

Here i cannot move player with keyboard ASDW nor with cursor keys. :-((
Only mouse movements work!

any help is highly appreciated!

thanks

another problem: quit does not work as well - i have to force quit to end unity!

Hello! I have the same problem but with Unity 3. When I press Play inside the editor, absolutely no keys corresponding to the game are working. No ASDW, no SHIFT, no CTRL, no SPACEBAR, no MouseClick1 or 2, just Mouse movement… can someone help ?

It looks like it has something do to with Mac OS but I don’t know what. I tried fiddling with keyboard settings but doesn’t seem like anything works… please help… :frowning:

Thanks.

no idea, no help, no solution?

I’m having the same issue with Windows 7!

The main thing in Unity that could affect this is the input settings (menu: Edit > Player settings > Input) which may have been corrupted somehow. I don’t have much to suggest as regards general Windows or MacOSX settings that might be at fault.

thanks andeeee,
but only
changing to unity 3 did it!

Here the player moves accordingly!

So thinking about switching to version 3
( nice trick though :wink: )

Unity 3 will reset all your physics to defaults it seems. So it just may do it to other settings as well. Go through the Project Settings and make sure those are set correctly for your purposes.

fiddling around:
deleted preferences
new install
maintainance the system
and so on…

,…and finally: Both versions - 2.6.1 and 3 - installed and work well as advertised!!!

I am not sure what really helped and i wished the developers would have helped to avoid such a tremendous time investment; but i understand the current release is more important !

so thanks to all who have read, written and helped!

I’m bumping this thread because I’m experiencing a fairly similar problem. My forward input key has suddendly changed into “z” and, at the same time, the “w” now changes the pivot point. I’ve tried to reassign them in input manager and check the tools/move preferences and here something strange happens. Apparently the keys are mapped correctly but, since i know that they are inverted, I tried to assign the “z” key to the tools/move and… when I press “z” a beautiful “w” is typed. So, long story short, it seems that somehow and suddendly (all was working good for a couple of week) after an editor crash the key mapping has been corrupted. Neither reassigning manually the correct keys nor reinstalling Unity solved the problem… Does somebody experienced, and solved, this problem or is better file a support case ?

Edit: Osx 10.6.3 (Imac Intel core i5)
