Script working on object but not on camera

I wrote this script in hope to manipulate camera translate position as well as rotation through WASD keys, however, the camera does not respond as wished to be. I have also attached this same script on a 3D object which was behaving as planned.

Problem when tied to a secondary camera, it works, but when tied to a primary camera, it jams and does not responds to it.
Why does it not work on the camera? Thanks

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5. public class CameraController : MonoBehaviour {
6.     public float SPEED = 5.0f;
7.     void Start () {
8.    
9.     }
10.  
11.     void Update () {
12.          if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W))
13.        {
14.             Vector3 position = this.transform.position;
15.             position.y++;
16.             this.transform.position = position;
17.         }
18.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.S))
19.         {
20.             Vector3 position = this.transform.position;
21.             position.y--;
22.             this.transform.position = position;
23.         }    
24.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A))
25.             transform.Rotate(0, SPEED, 0);
26.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D))
27.             transform.Rotate(0, -SPEED, 0);
28.     }
29.  }
30.  

 

Please format your code.

 

done formatting

 

I can't imagine why the code wouldn't work. Is it doing something, but just not what you want? If so, what's it doing?

 

Did you change the SPEED in the editor? Does it still = 5 in the editor?

 

when script is attached to the camera, the camera bounces back to the original position whenever whichever key is pressed. The code works fine on other objects, just the camera that decides to stick to its original position and rotation no matter what.

 

when changed in the editor, it will take in whatever user input is

 

Is there another script also controlling the camera? If not that, I'm not sure.

 

Just tried the script on a new project on the Camera and it worked fine? You must have another script accessing the Camera.

Also when you say "Manipulate the position" do you wish for the camera to move whilst holding the key down? because the the moment while using

Code (CSharp):

1. if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W))

You will have to press W over and over again to move it. But if you use

Code (CSharp):

1. if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))

you will only have to press and hold W for it to move. However as you're increasing it by 1 unit it will move to fast so you might want to look into

Code (CSharp):

1.          transform.Translate(Vector3.up * SPEED * Time.deltaTime); // delta time allows movement based on the current frames and you can create a new variable to adjust the speed you want

 

The camera works fine when it's not the main camera for me, when I tie it to be the main camera the game console view from, the key does not do anything to it.

 

Try the script on a completely new project on the main camera, then check youroriginal if anything attached to it

 

My bet is that there is a second script controlling the camera position.
Look for any scripts that reference the camera, "main camera"
IE:
gameObject.tag = "Main Camera";
GetComponent<Camera>()
