Key Representation

So I am trying to make my cube move with W,A,S,and D but I am trying to assign Space as the jump button but I don't know how and this is the code I have now

if (Input.GetKey("Keys.Space"))
{
rb.AddForce(0, -12, 0);
}

Please Help!

 

You adding negative 12 units on the Z axis, open the editor and look at what axis is Z.

What you want is a POSITIVE value on the Y axis (Y is up in unity)

 

Oh yeah sorry I was messing around with that stuff a long time ago just imagine it is the Y Axis

 

How about showing us your complete script?

because i feel like you wrote that snippet just for here, Keys.Space should be KeyCode.Space, iirc, this should not compile.

What is actually happening?
Do you have any errors in the console on compiling/runtime?
If so, what are they?
Do you have the script on the object?
Do you have a rigidbody on the object?
Do you have a reference to said rigidbody?

Give us something to work with man, so many question so little info ;}

 

Have a look at the input manager, there is a "Jump" input which is bound to Space by default:

Then you can use Input.GetButton("Jump") instead of checking for a specific key. This also allows you to rebind the key easily.

Thanks for the help Sernix and SparrowsNest for the help, It is working now!
