    Hi,

    im working at a 2D movement script but there is this error:
    ArgumentException: Input Key named: Shift is unknown
    UnityEngine.Input.GetKeyDown (System.String name) (at <963c3a1707f0469aac8b8356a8d18b5d>:0)
    MovementOfPlayer.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/MovementOfPlayer.cs:29)

    Here's my code:

    using System.Collections;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using UnityEngine;

    public class MovementOfPlayer : MonoBehaviour {

    public CharacterController2D controller;
    //public Animator animator;

    public float runSpeed = 40f;

    float horizontalMove = 0f;
    bool jump = false;
    bool crouch = false;

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update() {

    horizontalMove = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * runSpeed;

    //animator.SetFloat("Speed", Mathf.Abs(horizontalMove));

    if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
    {
    jump = true;
    //animator.SetBool("IsJumping", true);
    }

    if (Input.GetKeyDown("Shift"))
    {
    crouch = true;
    } else if (Input.GetKeyUp("Shift"))
    {
    crouch = false;
    }
    }

    public void OnLanding ()
    {
    //animator.SetBool("IsJumping", false);
    }

    public void OnCrouching (bool isCrouching)
    {
    //animator.SetBool("IsCrouching", isCrouching);
    }

    void FixedUpdate ()
    {
    //Move our character
    controller.Move(horizontalMove * Time.fixedDeltaTime, crouch, jump);
    jump = false;
    }
    }

    I comment the animator because I doesn't have any anmiations.
    Can anyone help me?

    So you know, it doesn't matter that you're making something 2D, this post isn't about 2D features at all as it's you producing syntax errors in C# so should be posted in the scripting forum.

    Always posting code using code-tags because then, in the very least, line numbers make sense. Don't do arbitrary formatting such as bold/colour etc.

    Honestly though, don't use the string overload of that method, use the keycode overload because then at least you have a selection of keys and don't need to spell it correctly.

    Also, the link I just have you provides a link to the string key codes you can use but I'd stay away from them.

    You need to specify which shift key.

    Modifier keys: “right shift”, “left shift”, “right ctrl”, “left ctrl”, “right alt”, “left alt”, “right cmd”, “left cmd”
