Movement not working

[ivory brook]

I used the CharacterController2D movement script from 2D Movement in Unity (Tutorial) video and it worked when I followed the tutorial but when I use it in another project the values of horizontalmove changes in console but the character dosent move
please help Thank You

Use codeblocks to send code in a message!

To make a codeblock, surround your code with ```
To use C# syntax highlighting add cs after the three back ticks.

For example:
```cs
Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
```

Produces:

Console.WriteLine("Hello World");

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public CharacterController2D controller;

    public float runspeed = 30f;

    float horizontalmove = 0f;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        horizontalmove = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * runspeed;
        Debug.Log(horizontalmove);
        
    }

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        controller.Move(horizontalmove * Time.fixedDeltaTime, false, false);
    }
}

@ivory brook the charactorcontroller needs a vector 3 to move

You’re putting in a float

That’s why it’s not working

[ivory brook]

@brisk zealot Where should I change the code

[brisk zealot]

@ivory brook change the horizontalMove to a vector3 and do something like horizontalMove.x

That should hopefully fix it

[ivory brook]

@brisk zealot But this worked in the previous project I did
following the unity 2d movement tutorial video

[brisk zealot]

Can u link me the video? Might be outdated

[brisk zealot]

It might be outdated

Try turning it into a vector 3

Also check out the docs

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CharacterController.Move.html

@ivory brook how’d it go

[ivory brook]

@brisk zealot I made some changes but now its not letting me drag the CharacterController2D.cs into controller variable in PlayerMovement.cs

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public CharacterController2D controller;

    public float playerspeed = 2f;

    Vector3 horizontalmove;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        horizontalmove = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0, 0);
        Debug.Log(horizontalmove);
        controller.Move(horizontalmove * Time.deltaTime * playerspeed);
        
    }

@brisk zealot This is so confusing

I got it working with Vector 3 somehow but it logs in console but dosent move same problem:\

[brisk zealot]

So I realised you’re using a different controller from the one I linked

[buoyant hearth]

Depends on your frame rate, Time.deltaTime can be really small

Have you tried a higher speed?

[ivory brook]

I used the one from brackyes video:

[ivory brook]

nope I try now

@buoyant hearth Still not working

[buoyant hearth]

How do you know it’s not moving?
Is your camera following your character?

[ivory brook]

No I checked with Scene screen next to game screen and it dosent move

[brisk zealot]

Is the character position changing?

[ivory brook]

No thats the problem

[brisk zealot]

@ivory brook if nothing is working I say double check with the video one last time

And if you can’t figure it out

Then try maybe using a rigidbody

Fore movement

[ivory brook]

but then I should change the animations manually right to like flip and jump?

[brisk zealot]

I think so

Yeah

U can try with the 2D controller more

But there ain’t a lot of info about it

[ivory brook]

It worked with rigidbody thank you:)
