Having trouble with keyboard input.

Hello I'm currently developing a light bike game based on the Tron universe. I am experiencing problems with my input. I'm lead to believe that the problem might be caused by my PC because when I developed on my other PC I never experienced the same input problems that I'm having now. The code looks something like this:


if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A))
{
Debug.Log("A Key Pressed");
BlueBike.transform.Rotate(Vector3.forward * BikeRotateSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
trig = 2;
}
else
{
trig = 0;
Debug.Log("a not down");
}

This is a statement that relates to the movement of the bikes in an Update method. I haven't gotten any errors from the script itself. When I press the A key down "A Key Pressed" is not printed to the console yet "a not down" is printed to the console. There was I a point where I didn't experience any input problems on this PC but now I am. Is there anyone has a similar issue like this that can maybe help me?

 

Have a look at the docs for Input:

Pretty sure you want to use GetKey and not GetKeyDown

 

@dmennenoh is right, you need GetKey, not GetKeyDown. GetKeyDown (or Up for what matters) do not stay down over time. See:
