UnityEngine.Vector2 Float conversion problem

Questions & Answers
1

Hi, I’m not too well known with C# but I wanted to learn it and picked up on it via Unity with a youtube video. I’m trying to follow a video guide on how to make a 2D game with my own twists to it but I’m kind of stuck now as I want to add an animation to the player’s movement but all I get is 2 error messages that say I can’t add any addition or function to the UnityEngine.Vector2.right and that I can’t convert the type of float to the UnityEngine.Vector2. Does anybody know what my mistake is?

This is my code so far:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerWalk : MonoBehaviour {

Animator anim;

// Use this for initialization
void Start ()
{
	anim = GetComponent<Animator> ();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
{
	Movement ();
	{
		float move = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
		anim.SetFloat ("Speed", move);
	}	
}

void Movement()
{
	if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.D)) {
		transform.Translate (Vector2.right = 3f * Time.deltaTime);
		transform.eulerAngles = new Vector2 (0, 0);
	}
	if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.A)) {
		transform.Translate (-Vector2.right = 3f * Time.deltaTime);
		transform.eulerAngles = new Vector2 (0, 0);
	}
}
}

These lines: transform.Translate (-Vector2.right = 3f * Time.deltaTime);

Well, you can’t do that.

Transform.Translate requests a Vector3.

You’re also trying to change the value of a predetermined value (Vector2.right = your new value). Since Vector2.Right = 1,0, you could do something along the lines of:

transform.Translate(new Vector3(1, 0, 0) * 3f * Time.deltaTime);

Then just change the 1 to -1 for your left.

transform.Translate (Vector2.right = 3f * Time.deltaTime);

Change your “=” to “*”.

if it still gives you problem use Vector3.right, but it should not.
