Left Shift not working

I'm trying to make crouching mechanic but left shift doesn't work.

Code:

Code (CSharp):

1.         if(Input.GetKey("KeyCode.LeftShift"))
2.         {
3.             controller.height = 0.5f;
4.         }
5.         else
6.         {
7.             controller.height = 1f;
8.         }

Here's the error:
Input Key named: KeyCode.LeftShift is unknown

 

Sorry wrong code.
here's the actual one:

Code (CSharp):

1.         if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift))
2.         {
3.             controller.height = 0.5f;
4.         }
5.         else
6.         {
7.             controller.height = 1f;
8.         }

 

Are you sure this is 'not working'? Are there any error messages? If there aren't, during runtime and you pressing the left shift key keep an eye on your controller component and see if it's even changing the height number. If it is, it may well just be that you aren't changing it enough to have a noticable effect, crouching is admittedly a fairly annoying mechanic to implement.

I'm asking because I can't spot anything immediately obvious with the code which means it may well be due to your setup.

 

Unless whatever "controller" is does a LOT of additional work observing you setting the height field, there is no way this is a complete crouch solution.

If you just need a FPS controller with crouch, here's one:

That one has run, walk, jump, slide, crouch... it's crazy-nutty!!
