I was watching a tutorial to learn the basics and the code isn't working properly.

So im trying to make my character look around, since I don't know much about the engine I went to watch a tutorial to try see how things were done but the code isn't working right idk if it's because of any update but what is happening is: when I look left and right my character moves along in that direction while I want him to rotate in the direction that I was looking at.

Here is the code:

Code (CSharp):

1. //mouse sense
2. public float mousesense = 100f;
3.  
4. //player body
5. public Transform body;
6.  
7.  
8. float xrotation = 0f;
9.  
10. // Start is called before the first frame update
11. void Start()
12. {
13.     Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
14. }
15.  
16. // Update is called once per frame
17. void Update()
18. {
19.     //get mouse x and y axis
20.     float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mousesense * Time.deltaTime;
21.     float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mousesense * Time.deltaTime;
22.  
23.     xrotation -= mouseY;
24.     xrotation = Mathf.Clamp(xrotation, -90f, 90f);
25.  
26.     transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xrotation, 0f, 0f);
27.  
28.     //rotate player with mouse
29.     body.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseX);
30. }

 

First of all: Why is your mouse input being multiplied by Time.deltaTime? Would you mind sharing your tutorial, because this doesn't make any sense.
Next, your code seems to defeat its own purpose, by calling

Code (CSharp):

1. body.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseX);

after properly rotating your character on the X axis by rotating it again.

Can you link your tutorial? I can't seem to make heads or tails of this code.

 

Yeah, this is a train wreck and it's likely not your fault but the tutorial author. It would be interesting to see this tutorial.
