How to Move Penguins on a Grid

Questions & Answers
1

I have an 11 * 11 grid. I simply want to move penguins left, right, up, and down using the WASD keys. Here’s my code:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class PenguinMovement : MonoBehaviour {
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
		if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A))
		{
			transform.position = new Vector3(4,0,0) * Time.deltaTime;
			Debug.Log(4);
		}
		
		else if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D))
		{
			transform.position = new Vector3(-4,0,0) * Time.deltaTime;
			Debug.Log(-4);
		}
		
		else if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W))
		{
			transform.position = new Vector3(0,0,4) * Time.deltaTime;
			Debug.Log(4);
		}
		
		else if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.S))
		{
			transform.position = new Vector3(0,0,-4) * Time.deltaTime;
			Debug.Log(4);	
		}
	
	}
}

Is transform.position not the right command? Any help is appreciated. Thank you for your time in advance.

There’s no point to multiplying those values by Time.deltaTime since it looks like you essentially want them to warp to each grid location. You should be adding the vectors instead of assigning them as a new vector position

transform.position = transform.position + new Vector3(0,0,-4);
