hi, i am wanting to make a multiplayer Beat/Shoot em up and i wanted to know how i can make my characters move (like in Zombieville USA 2)
Step 1: Have the script attached to your character Game Object look at for movement controls being used (Axis or set keys or whatever). If you are using point and click, then you might want some click event to do this instead.
Step 2: Call your movement method for your character Game Object
Step 3: Your movement method would either apply a force to your Game Object (if you are using physics) or you will run a smooth movement style routine if you are setting the point in space to have your object move to.
Step 4 (optional): Signal your animator to play the appropriate animation, have your sound source play any relevant sounds.
There are a tonne of unity provided tutorials that are focused on 2D games, and they all have methods showing you how to make the character move in a way that makes sense for that tutorial. I’d recommend finding one that is closest to the game you are wanting to make.
Thank you, I will make a tech demo and make it available for download for public testing for free. if it receives enough positive reviews then i will make a full game.
