Roll A BAll

Hey guys,

I am following the tutorial about roll a ball. To move I got this code:

Code (csharp):

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

But what does "Horizontal" and "Vertical" means? And how does the game know that that means the arrow keys?

Thanks in advance!

 

Go to the Edit menu -> Project Settings -> Input. If you build a standalone PC/OSX/Linux build, there will be a setup screen that appears when the game is first loaded that allows the player to change their keybindings.

See this Unity doc.

That was what I was looking for! very much thanks!
