Writing simple C# code to capture player input and move the player ship.

I followed the video and just decided to copy and paste the script to the MonoDevelop script editor.

It's giving me a lot of errors:

Also, give me some understanding for the right code. is there an area where I can get codes "fixed up" since I'm a newbie? I would really like to work on a pipeline like area even if it's "open-sourced".

Thank you very much.

 

rigidbody is deprecated, now you need to use GetComponent https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GameObject.GetComponent.html

Optimized would be cached rigidbody on awake, so it would look like this:

Code (CSharp):

1.     [System.Serializable]
2.     public class Boundary
3.     {
4.         public float xMin, xMax, zMin, zMax;
5.     }
6.  
7.     public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
8.     {
9.         public float speed;
10.         public float tilt;
11.         public Boundary boundary;
12.         Rigidbody rigidbody; // this line added
13.  
14.         void Awake()
15.         {
16.             rigidbody = GetComponent<Rigidbody>(); // and this added
17.         }
18.  
19.         void FixedUpdate()
20.         {
21.             float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
22.             float moveVertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
23.  
24.             Vector3 movement = new Vector3(moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical);
25.             rigidbody.velocity = movement * speed;
26.  
27.             rigidbody.position = new Vector3
28.             (
29.                 Mathf.Clamp(rigidbody.position.x, boundary.xMin, boundary.xMax),
30.                 0.0f,
31.                 Mathf.Clamp(rigidbody.position.z, boundary.zMin, boundary.zMax)
32.             );
33.  
34.             rigidbody.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0.0f, 0.0f, rigidbody.velocity.x * -tilt);
35.         }
36.     }
37. }

 

This works with adding on:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

I am not 100% sure on the rigid body concept so I will be training in C# in a limited amount. I'll look for another building type later.

Thank you.
