I can't make my vehicle turn in Unity Junior Programmer Lesson 1.4

So, I have been working through the Unity courses, and I am currently on Junior Programmer. However, I have run into a debilitating issue that has brought my progress to a halt. Currently, I am on lesson 1.4, and I can't seem to get the tank to turn. The horizontal input meter moves in the inspector, but nothing happens to the turn speed. What am I doing wrong?
Here is my code for the PlayerController.cs file:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public float speed = 5f;
8.     public float turnSpeed;
9.     public float horizontalInput;
10.     // Start is called before the first frame update
11.     void Start()
12.     {
13.        
14.     }
15.  
16.     // Update is called once per frame
17.     void Update()
18.     {
19.         horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
20.         //Move the vehicle forward
21.         transform.Translate(Vector3. forward * Time.deltaTime * speed);
22.         transform.Translate(Vector3.right * Time.deltaTime * turnSpeed * horizontalInput);
23.     }
24. }

 

Did you set the Turn Speed in the Inspector to 1? (Time in video 00:05:05 - 00:05:08)

 

Hi Taylor, i have the same issue om my Mac using Unity 2020.03.24f1. The code is correct, but the vehicle does not move with my keyboard letters and arrows. Not sure if I should update to the new Input Manager package instead, but that is not covered in the Junior Programmer course yet. Anyone any other ideas?

 

Hi Taylor, I managed to solve it. My Unity layout displays both the Scene as well as the Game window in one screen. Even though I was clicking the Play button, the arrow keys did not seem to work. I also had to click in the actual Game window with my mouse, and then the arrow keys did show effect. Please try, maybe this solves your issue too.
