Title: Controller Simple Move not working
Post by: janet on August 04, 2018, 04:10:54 PM

Hi,

I am new here and try to make my 2D character move in unity. In play mode, I am able to store the vector variable, but my character doesn't seem to move at all.

I attached my settings here. Can someone help me?

Thanks.

I got vector3 variable from Get Axis Vector and Set Velocity 2D needs vector2. How can I mix them together?

Thanks.

I also tried Get Axis Vector, store the vector3 and then apply it on translate. It didn't work too.

For all the method above, I can get the vector3 and the vector3 changes when I press WSAD button on my keyboard. However, the character is just not moving when the vector3 changes.

If is a plataform game you can use the get xyz action to get x and z from the axis vector variable and them add the x and z float to the 2D velocity, if you just want to move the obj in x y and z just use the velocity action.

Thanks for your help Ateam. It still doesn't work for me.

I don't have Get VelocityXYZ in my action browser and I don't find it in ecosystem too.
Instead, I use Get Velocity and Set Velocity because Set Velocity requires Rigidbody and not Regidbody 2D.

It appears to have the same issue. I can get the vector3 variable and it changes when I press or release the button. It does not get X, Y or Z individually and the character is not moving when I press the buttons. 

I am confused now.

you don't need the get velocity action

In set velocity just put the Move variable

and you need deactivate the rigibody gravity.

Just made the changes.

I took a screenshot while pressing the button. The character is still not moving..

ohhh I see the problem, put the "set velocity" variables x and z in none, and them you need to deactivate the action Sequence, here

and all in none

Just did.

I can get the vector3 changing while press the key, but the character is not moving.

lol you have the rigibody in kinematic, deactivate that

So why did the controller simple move not work?
