key code movement. Stuck on if statements.

Every time a key comes up i reduce speed to 0.
How to to make so that if the A KEY is down, and D KEY comes up it won't set the speed to 0.
I've tried everything I could google. I think I need help from someone that knows enough.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Code (CSharp):

1.    
2.  
3.  if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A))
4.         {
5.             speed = -speedX;
6.         }
7.         if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.A) && Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D))
8.         {
9.  
10.             speed = speedX;
11.  }
12.        
13. else if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.A))
14. {
15.             speed = 0;
16.            
17.         }
18.      
19.        
20.        
21.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D))
22.         {
23.             speed = speedX;
24.         }
25.         if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.D))
26.         {
27.            
28.                 speed = 0;
29.            
30.         }
31.        

 

Use the InputManager, put it in a vector and apply that to the transform.

Code (csharp):

1. Vector3 input = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
2. player.transform.position += input * Time.deltaTime;

 

It's 2d game and I don't think that will work with the rest of my player manager script. I'll definitely give it a shot though. Thank you for such a quick reply.

 

Didn't work. It won't allow the vector 3 statement.

 

I think this is what you're after

Code (CSharp):

1. if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A))
2. {
3.     speed = -speedX;
4. }
5. if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D))
6. {
7.     speed = speedX;
8. }
9.  
10.  
11. if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.A) && !Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
12. {
13.     speed = 0;
14. }
15. if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.D) && !Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
16. {
17.     speed = 0;
18. }

 

Alternative approach:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. int speed = 0;
3. if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
4.   speed -= speedX;
5. if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
6.   speed += speedX;
7.  

If both A and D are held down, they cancel each other out, and speed is back to 0. This is actually the logic behind Input.GetAxis, so you may as well use that instead.

Note: It returns a float. You can cast it to int if needed.

 

Bro, you're my f####### hero!

 

Wow, that's nice to hear! thanks.

 

I'm so serious. Thank you so very much. I've been struggling for a week and it was that simple. You did a good thing, and I GREATLY appreciate you taking your time to help me.
