How to use accelerometer in a 2d game

Questions & Answers

Hello,

I’m trying to make a new game for android and I need the character to move left and right when you move your phone left and right. I konw that there is a script called “AccelerometerInput” which is in the unity tutorials (I think). The problem is that it also moves the character in the z axis but I only want it to move in the x axis (left and right).

This is the script:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class AccelerometerInput : MonoBehaviour 
{
	void Update () 
	{
		transform.Translate(Input.acceleration.x, 0, Input.acceleration.y);
	}
}

I would like to know if there is a script that works well or there is a way to change this script to make it the way I want it. I’m pretty sure this is a stupid question but I’m new on scripting.

Thanks in Advance.

@Mario15gl I would suggest removing the Input.acceleration.y as the third argument in transform.Translate() and replace it with 0. I hope that helps.
