2d arrow key controls are not working :(

so I following this unity tutorial however the controls don't work for some reason
Everything else works (animation/sprites appear)

Tutorial link:

P.S I also tried re-creating the script and replying it to the sprite several times :/

 

Maybe the player speed is in 0 or maybe you typed horizontall in lowercase. You should show your code and the inspector window of your character.

 

Please show your code using the insert feature of the forum.
You may also check your inputs into project settings.

 

so here is the code. I got also which horizontal was supposed to be capitalized? the first or second? float horizontal = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");



using UnityEngine;

using System.Collections;
public class Player : MonoBehaviour {
public float speed = 50f;
public float jumpPower = 150f;
public bool grounded;

private Rigidbody2D rigidBody2D;

void Start ()
{
rigidBody2D = gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}
void Update ()

{



}



void FixedUpdate ()
{

float horizontal = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");

rigidBody2D.AddForce ((Vector2.right * speed) * horizontal);
Debug.Log(horizontal);


}

}



Also when I set my character speed to 5 it just runs in place :/

I also tried using Debug.Log(horizontal); when I pressed the arrow keys the numbers changed in the console so idk whats wrong :/

 

this is my inspector for my player

 

Open your Player.cs script, copy the code inside it and insert it (clicking on the "News-paper" like button and choosing c#) on the forum.

 

Code (C#):

1. using UnityEngine;
2.  
3. using System.Collections;
4.  
5.  
6.  
7. public class Player : MonoBehaviour {
8.  
9.  
10.  
11.     public float Speed = 50f;
12.  
13.     public float jumpPower = 150f;
14.  
15.     public bool ground;
16.  
17.     private Rigidbody2D rigidBody2D;
18.  
19.  
20.  
21.     void Start ()
22.  
23.     {
24.  
25.         rigidBody2D = gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
26.  
27.     }
28.  
29.  
30.  
31.     void Update ()
32.  
33.     {
34.  
35.  
36.  
37.     }
38.  
39.  
40.  
41.     void FixedUpdate ()
42.     {
43.  
44.         float horizontal = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
45.  
46.         rigidBody2D.AddForce ((Vector2.right * Speed) * horizontal);
47.         Debug.Log(horizontal);
48.  
49.  
50.     }
51.  
52. }

 

You said "when you set your speed to 5 it runs in place", even with a speed of 50, it doesn't move?

if you replace: rigidBody2D.AddForce ((Vector2.right * Speed) * horizontal);
by : rigidBody2D.velocity = transform.right * Speed * horizontal ;
Does something happen?
(actually, i don't understand why it doesn't work, i added the script in a new project and the player moves, it accelerates)

 

I added replaced line of code however it still did not work. if It helps you figure out what is wrong the falling animation also does not trigger when the player is in mid air also the Ground on the players inspector thing has a capital G in ground however the ground in the animator has a lower case g in ground. the Capital ground in the inspector menu does nothing when I toggle it. while the one in the animator determines when the player is in mid air. What is even more interesting is that when I change the boolean Ground to ground in the script It does not change in the inspector file.........

 

When I tried changing the ground to Ground in the animator window nothing changed other than the variable name :/

 

Its as if Ground in the script and Ground in the animator are different variables and I have no clue how to fix this.

 

Nothing in your player code modifies the animator bool. About that, i guess you just need to add
at the beginning of your code: public Animator anim;
inside of Start() : anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
inside of FixedUpdate() : anim.SetBool("ground", ground);

I believe you made a mistake somewhere else, and i can't tell where, as your code works flawless in a new project i created specially to test your code. Maybe you should find another beginner tutorial looking like this one, and start a brand new project.

 

mhh now the ground float works in sync, however the player still does not move and the ground variable does not change depending on if the player is on the ground or not.

 

OMG I tried adding an rgb body thing to the ground and now It falls 0_0

 

I'm not too familiar with this tutorial but I would suggest:

This is a 2d game? You should maybe go into the physics settings and make sure the gravity is in the proper direction. So y would be -10. If you started a new project and did not select 2d from the start, the gravity by default ends up with z -9.something.

Also, Check your project inputs. Make sure the arrow keys are in fact listed with the name of "Horizontal".
