Here’s a really simple method to get you in the right direction

		if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W)){
			float speed;
			if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift)){
				speed=20;
			}else{
				speed=10;
			}
			gameObject.transform.position += Vector3.forward * speed * Time.deltaTime;
		}

Just place the code above inside the update method in a script that is attached to the “player” object. When you press “W” it will move forward, but when you press “Left Shift” with “W” it will sprint forward.

Hey, I know this is literally three years later, so I hope your problem is sorted by now!
I have found what I consider an improvement on the solution (it helped me a lot)…so I’m going to post this in case anyone comes across this again.

Vector3 movement = Vector3.zero;

		if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W)){
			float speed;
			if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift)){
				speed=20;
			}else{
				speed=10;
			}
			movement += Vector3.forward * speed * Time.deltaTime;
		}

Basically what this’ll do is allow you to sprint and move in the direction you are facing…
Yeah, hope this’ll help anyone who comes across this! XD
