Hey Guys, I am trying to get my player to move when I push this button but it keeps saying that it cannot convert bool to float. Please help me!

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class right4 : MonoBehaviour
{

public float speed;

// Use this for initialization
void Start() 
{

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update() 
{

}

private void OnGUI()
{
	if (GUI.RepeatButton(new Rect(500, 200, 50, 50), "→"))
	{
		float moveHorizontal = Input.GetButton("right4");
		
		Vector3 movement = new Vector3 (moveHorizontal, 0.0f, 0.0f);
		
		rigidbody.AddForce (movement * speed * Time.deltaTime);

	}
}

}

The error is in the code: float moveHorizontal = Input.GetButton(“right4”); what it is saying is it cannot convert the floating-point number type to a boolean. Input.GetButton() returns a boolean, not a float–Input.GetAxis() returns a float though. This code should work:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class right4 : MonoBehaviour {

public float speed;
 
// Use this for initialization
void Start() 
{
 
}
 
// Update is called once per frame
void Update() 
{
 
}
 
private void OnGUI()
{
    if (GUI.RepeatButton(new Rect(500, 200, 50, 50), "→"))
    {
        float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
 
        Vector3 movement = new Vector3 (moveHorizontal, 0.0f, 0.0f);
 
        rigidbody.AddForce (movement * speed * Time.deltaTime);
 
    }
}
}
