Touch Movement

Unity Engine
1

Hi guys,

I’m trying to make some changes to convert a small project to support mobile touch.
Currently I have a character with the keyboard options of wasd to move around.
Mouse click to left to shoot and right to dodge/move away from a enemy.

The issue is wasd have not been assigned specific keys but horizontal and vertical.

Please see sample script below:

	if(SCR_input.cType==0){
			
			if (planeHit) {
				character.SetRotAngle(destination);
			}
			
			if(Input.GetMouseButton(1)){
				dirPressed=true;
			}
			
		}	else {
			
			float inputX=Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
			float inputY=Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
			
			if(inputX!=0f||inputY!=0f){
				dirPressed=true;
				
				Vector3 inputDir=new Vector3(inputX,0f,inputY).normalized;
				character.SetRotAngle(transform.position+inputDir);
				
			}
			
		}

Does anyone have a simple solution or any ideas.
Initially I wanted small corner of the screen to have movement via just touch area in corner.
Clicking on screen makes player shoot which seems fine.
Will need a button to attach the dodge for.

BTW I did not code this but its part of a bought asset and style is different to the usual controls mechanism I have encountered.

Thank you

You can configure the keys supplying the “Horizontal”, “Vertical” axis values in the input manager.

To support mobile, you’ll have to use some kind of virtual stick for the movement and touch events for the other controls. I find it best to separate the input from the player/character controller, so you can easily exchange them.

However its quite impossible to give you any solution with only this piece of code.
