W A S D Key Trouble *FIXED*

Hi everyone! I'm trying to create a new FPS game, but I am having trouble with the W, A, S, D keys. My W key is going left, my S key is going right, my A key is going backwards, and my D key is going forwards. I have included my code. Please help me out.

 

Please post code as text, not image: https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/using-code-tags-properly.143875/

Check your Input Manager settings : https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-InputManager.html

It seems like you have horizontal and vertical mixed up. This could be in the Input Manager, or code.

 

That could be it, but I also spotted that he's doing simpleMove and that's the incorrect way of doing things, it will work if you keep your camera pointed at the original position but once you try to press your keys they will not adapt to which direction you're facing.

Have you checked out Quill18's FPS tutorial? He does a very good explanation of this problem, I believe in part 3 he teaches you how to properly calculate movement without running into these issues.

He explains what is wrong with simpleMove at 1:38 or so, just follow along with this series and you'll be able to fix it, though the code your working with looks a lot like the part 1 to begin with.

 

Oh alright. Thank you! I'm actually following his tutorials so I guess that's a coincidence.

 

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class FirstPersonController : MonoBehaviour {
public float movementSpeed = 5.0f;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
float forwardSpeed = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * movementSpeed;
float sideSpeed = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * movementSpeed;
Vector3 speed = new Vector3( sideSpeed, 0, forwardSpeed );

CharacterController cc = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
cc.SimpleMove(speed);
}
}

 

I have fixed my problems.
