Turn character the way I am moving

Questions & Answers

Hi I’ve been trying to be able to get my character to turn the way it’s moving all day and couldn’t do it could someone please just give me something that I could copy and paste into my script thank you

EDIT: I have problems like this a lot and everything is the exact way the person had it even when I copy and paste could something be wrong with my unity or something because it can’t be code when I copy and paste when it’s not working it’s very discouraging and happens a lot

EDIT: I noticed that the rotation in the inspector changes to 90.00001 or -90.00001 depending on the way I move the arrows on what ever axis I don’t know if that’s normal but yeah and one time the y position not rotation moved to 900000 when I try to move but that stopped happening. Sorry for editing so much.

EDIT:
Here is my code right now without the changes also im a beginner so how do I do that I just want the character to turn so if I press left arrow he moves left and I want to make it so he rotates left too I saw a bunch of things about quarteron angle and stuff and it confused me and didn’t work with my code probably because I had to delete something.
using System; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;
public class Player : MonoBehaviour {
[SerializeField] float moveSpeed = 10f;
[SerializeField] float padding = 1f;
float xMin;
float xMax;
float yMin;
float yMax;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
SetMoveBoundaries();
}

private void SetMoveBoundaries()
{
Camera gameCamera = Camera.main;
xMin = gameCamera.ViewportToWorldPoint(new Vector3(0, 0, 0)).x + padding;
xMax = gameCamera.ViewportToWorldPoint(new Vector3(1, 0, 0)).x - padding;
yMin = gameCamera.ViewportToWorldPoint(new Vector3(0, 0, 0)).y + padding;
yMax = gameCamera.ViewportToWorldPoint(new Vector3(0, 1, 0)).y - padding;

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
Move();

}

private void Move()
{
var deltaX = Input.GetAxis(“Horizontal”) * Time.deltaTime * moveSpeed;
var newXPos = Mathf.Clamp(transform.position.x + deltaX, xMin, xMax);
var deltaY = Input.GetAxis(“Vertical”) * Time.deltaTime * moveSpeed;
var newYPos = Mathf.Clamp(transform.position.y + deltaY, yMin, yMax);
transform.position = new Vector2(newXPos, newYPos);

}
}

Try setting the Euler angles to the mouse pointer or whatever way you want it to change direction and IMPORTANTmake sure that you select local at the top left when you select the character

Thanks for your code, that was helpful. I guess all you need is this line as first line of your Move()-function

Vector3 currPos = transform.position;

And as last line in the same function:

transform.forward = transform.position - currPos;

Or if it is maybe rotated, then try transform.up or transform.right instead of transform.forward
