Moving multiple objects from user input

Unity Engine
1

I want to move multiple cubes at the same time, although I don’t want to use parent/child because it seems to mess up rotations…

GameObject[] obj = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Cube");
        for (int i = 0; i < obj.Length; i++)
        {
           moveVector.x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * speed;
        }

All you are doing in your for loop is setting moveVector.x as many times as there are cubes with said tag.

You would need to do something in your for loop which interacts with obj

uh i tried a couple of things, can’t seem to get it work… started with C# a day ago… Could anyone please show me? I’d be grateful

MoveVector is a Vector3 I guess? You just assigned a variable. It’s in the memory and doesn’t do anything at all.

To move an object you need to do stuff like

  • transform.position = transform.position + moveVector

  • transform.Translate(moveVector)

Or better yet look into Rigidbody and use

  • Rigidbody.MovePosition
  • Rigidbody.AddForce
  • Rigidbody.velocity

Whatever fits your game.

Also multiply moveVector by Time.deltaTime to make it frame independent.
