How do I use the GetComponent to access the RigidBody?

Questions & Answers
1

I don’t really know about C#sharp. Could I get help?
This is my program. I’m trying to get the user input to control the player.
I cant get the RigidBody component.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

[System.Serializable]
public class Boundary
{
public float xMin, xMax, zMin, zMax;
}

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed;
public float tilt;
public Boundary boundary;

void FixedUpdate ()
{
    float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
    float moveVertical = Input.GetAxis ("Vertical");

    Vector3 movement = new Vector3 (moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical);
    Rigidbody.velocity = movement;
}

}

Have a look at: Unity - Scripting API: GameObject.GetComponent

First you should create a variable of type Rigidbody and in the Awake you set that variable to the actual component, so that you can use that variable to access the rigidbody later.

Example: (not tested!)

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Test : MonoBehaviour {

    private Rigidbody rb;

    void Awake(){
         rb = gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }
 
    private void Example() {
        rb.velocity = some value;
    }
}

Also have a look at Unity - Scripting API: Rigidbody if you haven’t already. there are other ways to move the object instead of changing the velocity directly.

Hope you found this helpful!
