2D top-down Game

My code is meant to move the sprite up the y axis and across the x axis, it moves the sprite across the x axis fine but when I try and make it move up it changes the Z coordinate.
Here's my code please help.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.  
3.  
4. using System.Collections;
5. using System.Collections.Generic;
6. using UnityEngine;
7.  
8.  
9. public class player_movement : MonoBehaviour
10.     {
11.  
12.  
13.  
14.     Vector2 movement;
15.     // Update is called once per frame
16.     void Update()
17.     {
18.         float moveSpeed = 10;
19.         //Define the speed at which the object moves.
20.  
21.         movement.x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
22.  
23.         //Get the value of the Horizontal input axis.
24.  
25.  
26.         movement.y = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
27.         //Get the value of the Vertical input axis.
28.  
29.         transform.Translate(new Vector3(movement.x, 0, movement.y) * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
30.         //Move the object to XYZ coordinates defined as movemenet.x, 0, and movement.y respectively
31.     }
32.  
33.  
34.  
35. }
36.  

Thank you

 

You wrote: "new Vector3(movement.x, 0, movement.y)". The parameters to the Vector3 constructor are x, y, and z. The y parameter here is 0, and the z parameter is movement.y. If that's not what you want, then provide them in the other order.

 

Thanks!

 

Also, is there a reason you want to use a Vector3 instead of a Vector2?
