Unity Getting Input from Horizontal axis while using buttons

Questions & Answers
1

I have a good code for my game to move left/right/up/down.I then made on scree controls using some pictures with touch input.The problem im facing is that i cannot move left/right using the buttons.The character is stading in place and i dont know how to solve this please help.

 // Check to see if the screen is being touched

	if (Input.touchCount > 0)
	{
		// Get the touch info
		Touch t = Input.GetTouch(0);
		
		// Did the touch action just begin?
		if (t.phase == TouchPhase.Began)
		{
			// Are we touching the left arrow?
			if (LEFT.HitTest(t.position, Camera.main))
			{
				float move = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
				rigidbody2D.velocity = new Vector2(move * MaxSpeed,rigidbody2D.velocity.y);
				anim.SetFloat("Speed",Mathf.Abs(move));
				facingRight = false;
			}

			// Are we touching the right arrow?
			if (RIGHT.HitTest(t.position, Camera.main))
			{
				float move = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
				rigidbody2D.velocity = new Vector2(move * MaxSpeed,rigidbody2D.velocity.y);
				anim.SetFloat("Speed",Mathf.Abs(move));
				facingRight = true;
			}
			
			// Are we touching the jump button?
			if (UP.HitTest(t.position, Camera.main))
			{
				anim.SetBool("Ground",false);
				anim.SetTrigger("Jumping");
				rigidbody2D.AddForce(new Vector2(0,JumpForce));
			}
			if (DOWN.HitTest(t.position, Camera.main))
			{
				anim.SetBool("Crouching",true);
			}
			else anim.SetBool("Crouching",false);

		}
		
		// Did the touch end?
		if (t.phase == TouchPhase.Ended)
		{
			// Stop all movement
			rigidbody2D.velocity = Vector2.zero;
		}

I’t not working because you use “Input.GetAxis(“Horizontal”);”. That’s only for Keyboards/Joysticks.

You alredy have code to detect if the user is touching your move icons, just set “move” as -1 for left and 1 for right, and remove the GetAxis code.
