rigidbody.Moveposition doesnt make my player move diagonally.

I want my player to move using rigidbodies and this is the last thing i know that comes good with jumping. But my problem is, it seems like you can't move horizontally and vertically at the same time when using rigibody.MovePosition.

Here is my code for moving the player:

Code (CSharp):

1. _direction = new Vector3 (Input.GetAxis ("LJoystickHorizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis ("LJoystickVertical"));
2.         if (_direction.x != 0) {
3.             rigidbody.MovePosition (transform.position + transform.right * _direction.x * _moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
4.         }
5.         if (_direction.z != 0) {
6.             rigidbody.MovePosition (transform.position + transform.forward * _direction.z * _moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
7.         }

 

You must make 1 MovePosition call per FixedUpdate, because it doesn't happen as soon as you call MovePosition. Physics are processed after FixedUpdate.
Combine transform.right * _direction.x and transform.forward * _direction.z in single vector, then pass it to MovePosition.

 

How?

 

Use a Vector3 and pass that in. It's not rocket science. Stop doing maths in function calls. Construct the Vector3 first and then modify that instead, before finally passing it once to moveposition.

 

var myResultingVector = transform.right* _direction.x* _moveSpeed *Time.deltaTime
+ transform.forward* _direction.z* _moveSpeed *Time.deltaTime

rigidBody.MovePosition(transform.position + myResultingVector)
