I need help with a Controller on a 2D Game for Android with horizontal movement

Questions & Answers

Hello, I am trying to implement horizontal movement of my main character in the game. I use the Axis Touch Button script to move the player and this script for the Player:

using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityStandardAssets.CrossPlatformInput;

public class Player : MonoBehaviour {

    float directionX;
    public float speed = 15f;
    public float mapWidth = 5f;

    private Rigidbody2D rb;

    void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    }

    void FixedUpdate ()
    {
        directionX = CrossPlatformInputManager.GetAxis("Horizontal") * Time.fixedDeltaTime * speed;
        Vector2 newPosition = rb.position + Vector2.right * directionX;
        newPosition.x = Mathf.Clamp(newPosition.x, -mapWidth, mapWidth);

        rb.MovePosition(newPosition);

The problem is when I move the player left or right (by pressing left or right button) it keeps moving slowly to the same direction (after I have finished pressing that button) and it does not stop until I press the button for opposite direction.

Maybe it has something to do with input smoothing?

Edit → Project Settings → Input → Axes → Horizontal.

Try adjusting Gravity, Dead and Sensitivity.
The Gravity setting for instance controls how much it slows down over time. If it’s 0 it won’t slow down and keep going forever.
It works for me if I set it to: Gravity 3, Dead 0.001, Sensitivity 3.

Alternatively you could use GetAxisRaw instead of GetAxis (assuming CrossPlatformInputManager has the same methods as the normal Input class).
That doesn’t use smoothing.
