Movement with joystick failing

Physics
1

I have tried searching everywhere but for whatever reason I cannot seem to find a solution for this. My joystick is a simple UI joystick made from knobs and it functions well but I cannot seem to get my charactercontroller to move with the movement of the joystick. Here is the script on the joystick:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
using System.Collections;

public class VirtualJoystick : MonoBehaviour, IDragHandler, IPointerUpHandler, IPointerDownHandler
{
    private Image bgjoystick;
    private Image Joybutton;
    private Vector3 inputVector;

    private void Start()
    {
        bgjoystick = GetComponent<Image>();
        Joybutton = transform.GetChild(0).GetComponent<Image>();
    }

    public virtual void OnDrag(PointerEventData ped)
    {
        Vector2 pos;
        if(RectTransformUtility.ScreenPointToLocalPointInRectangle(bgjoystick.rectTransform, ped.position, ped.pressEventCamera, out pos))
        {
            pos.x = (pos.x / bgjoystick.rectTransform.sizeDelta.x);
            pos.y = (pos.y / bgjoystick.rectTransform.sizeDelta.y);

            inputVector = new Vector3(pos.x * 2 + 1, 0, pos.y * 2 - 1);
            inputVector = (inputVector.magnitude > 1.0f) ? inputVector.normalized : inputVector;

            Joybutton.rectTransform.anchoredPosition = new Vector3(inputVector.x * (bgjoystick.rectTransform.sizeDelta.x / 3), inputVector.z * (bgjoystick.rectTransform.sizeDelta.y / 3));

        }
    }

    public virtual void OnPointerDown(PointerEventData ped)
    {
        OnDrag(ped);
    }
    public virtual void OnPointerUp(PointerEventData ped)
    {
        inputVector = Vector3.zero;
        Joybutton.rectTransform.anchoredPosition = Vector3.zero;
    }

    public float Horizontal()
    {
        if (inputVector.x != 0)
            return inputVector.x;
        else
            return Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
    }

    public float Vertical()
    {
        if (inputVector.z != 0)
            return inputVector.z;
        else
            return Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
    }

}

and this is the code on the charactercontroller (testing on primitive sphere)

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
using System.Collections;

public class MovementJack : MonoBehaviour {
    public float movespeed = 50.0F;
    public float drag = 0.5F;
    public float terminalRotationSpeed = 25.0f;
    public float gravity;

    public Vector3 MoveVector { set; get; }
    public VirtualJoystick JoyStick;

    private Rigidbody controller;

    private Transform camTransform;

    void Start()
    {
        controller = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        controller.maxAngularVelocity = terminalRotationSpeed;
        controller.drag = drag;
       
    }

    void Update()
    {
        MoveVector = PoolInput();
        Move();
       // controller.AddForce(dir * movespeed);
     //  
    }
    private void Move()
    {
        controller.AddForce((MoveVector * movespeed));
        controller.AddForce(Vector3.down * gravity * controller.mass);
    }

    private Vector3 PoolInput()
    {
        Vector3 dir = Vector3.zero;
        dir.x = JoyStick.Horizontal();   //dir.x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        dir.z = JoyStick.Vertical();     //dir.z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        if (dir.magnitude > 1) dir.Normalize();
        return dir;
    }

}

Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.

Haha I finally had a realization that I had not selected the VirtualJoystick script within the unity inspector itself. Always seems to be my bane is forgetting to select the object on the inspector side. Anyone else having issues may want to check there :smile:
