I dont know how make diagonal movement im very new in this and a frind give me this code i have an idea of how it works but im not completley sure can someone help me to make a diagonal movement?

public class Player : MonoBehaviour {

private Rigidbody rb;
private Vector3 verticalVelocity;
public float speed;
private Vector3 velocity;


void Start() {

    rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();

}


void Update()
{

    if (Input.GetAxis("Vertical") != 0) MovementVertical();
    if (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") != 0) MovementHorizontal();
 
}

public void MovementVertical()
{
    verticalVelocity = this.transform.forward * speed * Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
    verticalVelocity.y = rb.velocity.y;
    rb.velocity = verticalVelocity;
}

public void MovementHorizontal()
{
   verticalVelocity = this.transform.right * speed * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
    verticalVelocity.y = rb.velocity.y;
    rb.velocity = verticalVelocity;
}

}

by the way thanks for the help

You shoudln’t be specifying movement in all directions in different functions/methods .

You could try this.

 public float speed = 6f;            // The speed that the player will move at.
    Vector3 movement;                   // The vector to store the direction of the player's movement.
    Rigidbody playerRigidbody;          // Reference to the player's rigidbody.

    void Awake ()
    {
        playerRigidbody = GetComponent<RigidBody>();
    }


    void FixedUpdate ()
    {
        // Store the input axes.
        float h = Input.GetAxisRaw ("Horizontal");
        float v = Input.GetAxisRaw ("Vertical");

        // Move the player around the scene.
        Move (h, v);
    }

    void Move (float h, float v)
    {
        // Set the movement vector based on the axis input.
        movement.Set (h, 0f, v);
        
        // Normalise the movement vector and make it proportional to the speed per second.
        movement = movement.normalized * speed * Time.deltaTime;

        // Move the player to it's current position plus the movement.
        playerRigidbody.MovePosition (transform.position + movement);
    }
}
