How do i fix this?

Hey!
I am trying to animate a 2D player with the brackeys tutorial but for some reason when i do exact thing it says that i've done something wrong.
Can anyone please explain?

Mathf.Abs takes a float.
You are giving it a Vector2.
You will need to get a float from that vector in one way or another; likely what you want is velocity.x.
velocity.y and velocity.magnitude would aldo be possible contenders.

I'm sorry but i dont understand what you are saying

I only recently started learning unity so i dont know alot abt it

This is less of a Unity that a C# problem.
If you don't know the basics of C# yet, I suggest you learn them before learning Unity.

"rb.velocity is not a valid parameter type for Mathf.Abs. Use rb.velocity.x instead"

[unreal rune]

When i did the rb.velocity.x it showed this when i moved

Have you read the error message?

i was dumb and put it in there when the game was active (when that happends it dont save)

but its fixed now

Yeah, that's something everyone does sometime - especially when starting out.

To help you not do this, you can set the playmode tint of your editor to a color that you'll notice; that way you will be more aware of when you are in play mode.

You're welcome 🙂

Do you understand why the change I suggested fixed it?
