if vector 3 coordinates less than

Questions & Answers

So Im trying to basically ask my script, if moveDirection, a vector 3.zero variable, is less than 0 on the x axis (if I move left it goes to the minus on the x axis), for now it just has a debug.log, and then move than 0 does the same thing. Heres my full script

var speed = 6.0;
var jumpSpeed = 8.0;
var gravity = 20.0;
 
private var moveDirection = Vector3.zero;
private var grounded : boolean = false;

function Awake(){
	if(networkView.isMine == false){
		//If this object doesn't belong to us, disable this script on our end
		enabled = false;
	}
}
 
function FixedUpdate() {
if (grounded) 
{
    // We are grounded, so recalculate movedirection directly from axes
    moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0); 
    moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
    moveDirection *= speed;     
    if (Input.GetButton ("Jump")) 
    {
        moveDirection.y = jumpSpeed;
    }
}
 
 // Apply gravity
 moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
 
// Move the controller
 var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);
 var flags = controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
 grounded = (flags & CollisionFlags.CollidedBelow) != 0;
 
}

function Update(){
Debug.Log(moveDirection);
}

and then what Im trying to do is this

if (moveDirection < (0,-2,0){
Debug.Log ("Left");
}
if (moveDirection > (0,-2,0){
Debug.Log ("Right");
}

Thanks

I would reference the value input at Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")

this returns a value of -1 to 1, more here

So you basically want:

if (moveDirection.x < 0){
    Debug.Log ("Left");
}
if (moveDirection.x > 0) {
    Debug.Log ("Right");
}
