How to get analog stick to work ?

Questions & Answers

Hi, I’m trying to make a game playable with joysticks and I cant manage to make it work. So Here is what I wrote :

        temp = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        rb.velocity = new Vector2(speed * temp, 0);

This works well for the Xaxis but then I try to add the Yaxis by writing this :

        temp2 = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        rb.velocity = new Vector2(0, speed * temp2);

Then the character will only move on the Yaxis.
So now if anyone have any idea I would highly appreciate,Thanks.

You are overwriting the Xaxis velocity with 0 on your last line.

This should work:

temp = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
temp2 = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
rb.velocity = new Vector2(speed * temp, speed * temp2);

But allow me to optimize this a little bit more. No calling GetComponent() and not creating a new vector instance every frame, as well as using Time.deltaTime to make the movement independent from the framerate:

using UnityEngine;

[RequireComponent(typeof(Rigidbody2D))]
public class Movement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float speed = 10;

    private Rigidbody2D rb;
    private Vector2 movementVector;

	void Start()
	{
	    rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        movementVector = Vector2.zero;
	}
	
	void Update()
	{
	    movementVector.x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
	    movementVector.y = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

	    rb.velocity = movementVector * speed * Time.deltaTime;
	}
}
