Moving using controller stick question

Questions & Answers
1

Trying to make it so -1 on the axis moves the player left and 1 moves the player right but my script doesnt appear to do anything. I was never able to figure out how to properly do controller support for my last game but I really want to include it this time because people seemed to really want it. I can do the buttons easy enough but I don’t understand the axis’s. What am I doing wrong?

             if(Input.GetButton("Horizontal"))
             {
                 if(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") < 0)
                 {
                     Debug.Log("Left");
                     vel.x = -walkSpeed;
                 }
                 if(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") > 0)
                 {
                     Debug.Log("Right");
                     vel.x = walkSpeed;
                 }
             }else
             {
                 vel.x = 0;
             }

Maybe my project settings are wrong?

Name : Horizontal Neg Button: Left Pos Button: Right Alt Neg: A Alt Pos: D Grav: 3 Dead: 0.001 Sens : 3 Snap : Yes Invert : No Type : Key or Mouse Button Axis : x axis Joy Num : Get Motion From all

Please Note : Moving the joystick does not trigger the Debug.Log

Input.GetAxisRaw returns a number between -1 and 1, as mentioned in the documentation. Replace your code with this one line:

vel.x = walkSpeed * Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime;
