Moving Left and Right with Android Accelerometer?

Unity Engine
1

Hi guys,

I’m struggling to implement a moving left and right mechanic with the accelerometer. With a clamp so you can only move left and right 150f’s or something.

So far my code moves backwards and forwards invertedly. My character moves left and right very slightly but I think thats a bug.

 transform.Translate(Input.acceleration.z, 0, 0);

Thank you.

I’m having physics problems in my own thread as well , but I know how to use the Accelerometer. Make sure the object it’s attached to has a rigidbody.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class carController : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float carSpeed;
    bool currntPlatformAndroid = false;
    Rigidbody2D rb;
    void Awake()
    {

        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();

#if UNITY_ANDROID
        currntPlatformAndroid = true;
#else
                currentPlatformAndroid = false;
#endif



    }

    void Start()
    {

        position = transform.position;

        if (currntPlatformAndroid == true)
        {
            Debug.Log("Android");
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.Log("Windows");
        }



    }


    void Update()
    {


        if (currntPlatformAndroid == true)
        {
            //android specific code
            //TouchMove ();
            AccelerometerMove();
        }

        else
        {

             position.y = Mathf.Clamp(position.y, -4.25f, 4.25f);
            position.x = Mathf.Clamp(position.x, -2.5f, 2.5f);


            transform.position = position;
        }

        position = transform.position;
        position.y = Mathf.Clamp(position.y, -4.25f, 4.25f);
        position.x = Mathf.Clamp(position.x, -2.5f, 2.5f);

        transform.position = position;

    }

  

    void AccelerometerMove()
    {

        float x = Input.acceleration.x;
        Debug.Log("X = " + x);


        if (x < -0.1f)
        {
            MoveLeft();
        }
        else if (x > 0.1f)
        {
            MoveRight();
        }
        else
        {
            SetVelocityZero();
        }

    }


    void TouchMove()
    {

        if (Input.touchCount > 0)
        {

            Touch touch = Input.GetTouch(0);

            float middle = Screen.width / 2;

            if (touch.position.x < middle && touch.phase == TouchPhase.Began)
            {
                MoveLeft();
            }
            else if (touch.position.x > middle && touch.phase == TouchPhase.Began)
            {
                MoveRight();
            }

        }

        else
        {
            SetVelocityZero();
        }

    }


    public void MoveLeft()
    {
        rb.velocity = new Vector2(-carSpeed, 0);
    }

    public void MoveRight()
    {

        rb.velocity = new Vector2(carSpeed, 0);
    }

    public void SetVelocityZero()
    {
        rb.velocity = Vector2.zero;
    }

You can modify the clamps to your liking. Also , help me out on my thread!

hey guys.
I want to play some particles when I move my Android device and stop the particles when I stop the movement of the device.
