Project Roll-a-Ball "Moving the Player"

Hey how are ya, I'm following the unity provided tutorial on making the Roll-a-Ball game, and I'm up to the part "Moving the Player" where you use a c# code. I've gone over this a few times, and from what I can tell, the code is the exact same.

I started a new project and followed everything exactly (Or so I hope).

When I apply this code to my Player object, instead of moving around like it does in the video, my "Player" moves above the plane, and stops, I can't move it and it doesn't move after that.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.  
7.     void FixedUpate()
8.     {
9.         float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
10.         float moveVertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
11.  
12.         Vector3 movement = new Vector3(moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical);
13.  
14.         rigidbody.AddForce(movement);
15.     }
16.  
17. }
18.  

Edit: I realized that if I took off "Convex" from the plane that the ball would not raise and instead would stay on the plane. I still don't have a moving ball, this is confusing me now. it now drops from Y - 0.5 to 0.48..


The tutorial which is located here; http://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/projects/roll-a-ball/moving-the-player

Says that it was 'checked' with version 4.0 and I have version 4.6.1 would that make a difference? I assume not, but I'm just learning so I don't really know

 

I guess the applied force is just to lower to have any visual effect on your game object. The max value of Input.GetAxis calls is 1 only so you might want to add a multiplier to it.

 

Thanks for your reply,
Do you mean like this;

Code (CSharp):

1. float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * 10;
2.         float moveVertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * 10;
3.  

Or like this;

Code (CSharp):

1. Vector3 movement = new Vector3(moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical) * 10;

If so, that hasn't made a change

if not, please explain

EDIT: Also, when trying to move the 'Player' no axis changes, x/y/z stay in the exact same position, so It's not moving the 'Player' at all

 

My non scripting - tech retarded girlfriend has just figured out my problem, other then having upDate i had upate. Thanks for your help.

 

An easy way to solve that problem is to print at the top of the function "line reached" (or whatever) to tell you a function is indeed being called. A very common error to make is misspelling a built in function so it doesn't run or making your own function but not actually calling it anywhere.

 

Awesome, I'm about to start learning their next tutorial, the Survival Shooter, this will come in handy, thank you
