Move player horizontal with Touch instead Input.GetAxis (672540)

Unity Engine

im trying to replace my keyboard code with a touch system and the result is different. i want my player move right or left only when touching the screen and tilt on that direction and tilt back

this is how my code work for pc keyboard:

 moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
movement = new Vector3 (moveHorizontal, 0.0f, 0.0f);

in FixedUpdate:

player.velocity = movement * speedHorizontal;
//tilt the player when move horizontal
         player.rotation = Quaternion.Euler (0.0f, 0.0f, rb.velocity.x * -tilt);

-thats above work like a charm! but when i try to set it in touch i dont get the nice smooth movements, because the Update effect the result.. here is how i try it in touch:

in Update:

         if (Input.touchCount > 0) {
                 touchPosition = Input.GetTouch (0).position;
                 if (touchPosition.x > Screen.width / 2) {
                     moveHorizontal = 1;
                 if (Input.GetTouch (0).phase == TouchPhase.Ended) {
                     moveHorizontal = 0f;
                 }
                 } else {
                    moveHorizontal = -1;
                 if (Input.GetTouch (0).phase == TouchPhase.Ended) {
                     moveHorizontal = 0f;
                 }
             }
         }
movement = new Vector3 (moveHorizontal, 0.0f, 0.0f);

in FixedUpdate:

 player.velocity = movement * speedHorizontal;

problem is that everything is going fast and not nice and smooth as in Input.GetAxis. how i can to simulate Input.GetAxis?

thanks for help

Maybe something like this (untested, and not optimised. You’ll need to add the fields for “sensitivity” and “dead” to your script)

if (Input.touchCount > 0) {
   
    float target;
    touchPosition = Input.GetTouch (0).position;
    if (touchPosition.x > Screen.width / 2) {
        target = 1;
    } else {
        target = -1;
    }

    moveHorizontal = Mathf.MoveTowards(moveHorizontal, target, sensitivity * Time.deltaTime);

} else {
    moveHorizontal = (moveHorizontal < dead) ? 0 : Mathf.MoveTowards(moveHorizontal, 0, sensitivity * Time.deltaTime);
}
