Basic 2D Character Movement in Unity - Unity C# Tutorial (Script in Description)

In this Unity tutorial, I teach you guys how to do basic 2D character movement in Unity. This includes allowing the player to move forward, back, left, and right on a 2D or 3D space. C# Script: using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; public class Movement : MonoBehaviour { public float movementSpeed; public Rigidbody playerR; public Transform playerT; public Animator playerA; void Update(){ if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W)){ playerR.velocity = transform.forward * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime; playerA.SetTrigger("Run"); playerA.ResetTrigger("Idle"); } if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.W)){ playerA.SetTrigger("Idle"); playerA.ResetTrigger("Run"); } if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D)){ playerR.velocity = transform.right * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime; playerA.SetTrigger("Run"); playerT.localScale = new Vector3(1, 1, 1); playerA.ResetTrigger("Idle"); } if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.D)){ playerA.SetTrigger("Idle"); playerA.ResetTrigger("Run"); } if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S)){ playerR.velocity = -transform.forward * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime; playerA.SetTrigger("Run"); playerA.ResetTrigger("Idle"); } if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.S)){ playerA.SetTrigger("Idle"); playerA.ResetTrigger("Run"); } if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A)){ playerR.velocity = -transform.right * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime; playerA.SetTrigger("Run"); playerT.localScale = new Vector3(-1, 1, 1); playerA.ResetTrigger("Idle"); } if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.A)){ playerA.SetTrigger("Idle"); playerA.ResetTrigger("Run"); } } } #Unity If this helped you out and you want more game development Unity tutorials in the future - be sure to like, comment, share, and subscribe!
