Why wont my Object go slower while pressing the button?

Heres the Code :

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour {
6.  
7.     float x = 1;
8.     float y = 1;
9.  
10.     float notPressed= 10;
11.     float pressedUp= 5;
12.     float pressedDown = 20;
13.  
14.     void Start()
15.     {
16.        
17.     }
18.  
19.     void Update()
20.     {
21.  
22.         transform.Translate(x - x, y / notPressed, 0);
23.  
24.         if (Input.GetKey("w"))
25.         {
26.  
27.             transform.Translate(x - x, y / pressedUp, 0);
28.         }
29.         else if (Input.GetKey("s")) {
30.  
31.             transform.Translate(x - x, y / pressedDown, 0);
32.         }
33.  
34.     }
35. }

If you find out why the object wont go slower please write it down below.
Thanks!

 

What is the point of x-x ? Is 0 isn't it?

Try add another else statement below line 32 and move line 22 there.

Keep curly bracket consistency. See line 29.

 

The x-x is there because 0 didnt work for some reason.
Im adding the other else statement later because its very late rn(2:20am).
Telling you later if it worked!

 

I also suggest check documentation, for further info
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.Translate.html

 

I mean what happens is that the update function keeps setting transform.Translate(x - x, y / notPressed, 0); constantly.

its like this
1. set speed to notPressed.
2. set speed to either w or s speed or no speed
3. repeat step 1
this happens around 30 to 1000 times a second, even if you hold down S or W it will first set the speed notPressed before setting it to one of the other.

 

Yep, this how you wrote the code.
You ask basically to run transit, translate in every update.
You may need change the logic, if you require different behavior.

Like for example, setOnce translation, if button is not pressed, otherwise reset setOnce status, after button is released.
