Unity Player Movement code example

Example 1: movement script c#

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

// This script moves the character controller forward
// and sideways based on the arrow keys.
// It also jumps when pressing space.
// Make sure to attach a character controller to the same game object.
// It is recommended that you make only one call to Move or SimpleMove per frame.

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    CharacterController characterController;

    public float speed = 6.0f;
    public float jumpSpeed = 8.0f;
    public float gravity = 20.0f;

    private Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero;

    void Start()
    {
        characterController = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (characterController.isGrounded)
        {
            // We are grounded, so recalculate
            // move direction directly from axes

            moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0.0f, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
            moveDirection *= speed;

            if (Input.GetButton("Jump"))
            {
                moveDirection.y = jumpSpeed;
            }
        }

        // Apply gravity. Gravity is multiplied by deltaTime twice (once here, and once below
        // when the moveDirection is multiplied by deltaTime). This is because gravity should be applied
        // as an acceleration (ms^-2)
        moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;

        // Move the controller
        characterController.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
    }
}

Example 2: movement script unity

//make sure to add a CharacterController to the thing that you want to move
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    CharacterController characterController;

    public float jumpSpeed = 8.0f;
    public float gravity = 20.0f;
    public float speed = 9.0f;

    private Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero;

    private void Start()
    {
        characterController = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        var horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        var vertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

        transform.Translate(new Vector3(horizontal, 0, vertical) * (speed * Time.deltaTime));

        if (characterController.isGrounded)
        {

            moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0.0f, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
            moveDirection *= speed;

            if (Input.GetButton("Jump"))
            {
                moveDirection.y = jumpSpeed;
            }
        }
        moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
        characterController.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
    }
}

Example 3: Player movement with animation unity

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
    private Rigidbody2D rb;
    private Animator anim;
    private float moveSpeed;
    private float dirX;
    private bool facingRight = true;
    private Vector3 localScale;



    private void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
        localScale = transform.localScale;
        moveSpeed = 3f;
    }


    private void Update()
    {
        dirX = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * moveSpeed;

        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && rb.velocity.y > -0.1 && rb.velocity.y < 0.1)
            rb.AddForce(Vector2.up * 500f);

        if (Mathf.Abs(dirX) > 0 && rb.velocity.y > -0.1 && rb.velocity.y < 0.1)
        {
            anim.SetBool("isRunning", true);

        }

        else
            anim.SetBool("isRunning", false);

        if (rb.velocity.y > -0.1 && rb.velocity.y < 0.1)
        {
            anim.SetBool("isJumping", false);
            anim.SetBool("isFalling", false);
        }

        if (rb.velocity.y > 0.1)
            anim.SetBool("isJumping", true);


        if (rb.velocity.y < -0.1)
        {
            anim.SetBool("isJumping", false);
            anim.SetBool("isFalling", true);
        }
    }
    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        rb.velocity = new Vector2(dirX, rb.velocity.y);
    }

    private void LateUpdate()
    {
        if (dirX > 0)
            facingRight = true;
        else if (dirX < 0)
            facingRight = false;

        if (((facingRight) && (localScale.x < 0)) || ((!facingRight) && (localScale.x > 0)))
            localScale.x *= -1;

        transform.localScale = localScale;
    }

}

Example 4: unity move character

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private float speed = 5.0f;

    private void Update()
    {
        var horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        var vertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        transform.Translate(new Vector3(horizontal, 0, vertical) * (speed * Time.deltaTime));
    }
}

Example 5: move character unity

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

// This script moves the character controller forward
// and sideways based on the arrow keys.
// It also jumps when pressing space.
// Make sure to attach a character controller to the same game object.
// It is recommended that you make only one call to Move or SimpleMove per frame.

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    CharacterController characterController;

    public float speed = 6.0f;
    public float jumpSpeed = 8.0f;
    public float gravity = 20.0f;

    private Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero;

    void Start()
    {
        characterController = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (characterController.isGrounded)
        {
            // We are grounded, so recalculate
            // move direction directly from axes

            moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0.0f, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
            moveDirection *= speed;

            if (Input.GetButton("Jump"))
            {
                moveDirection.y = jumpSpeed;
            }
        }

        // Apply gravity. Gravity is multiplied by deltaTime twice (once here, and once below
        // when the moveDirection is multiplied by deltaTime). This is because gravity should be applied
        // as an acceleration (ms^-2)
        moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;

        // Move the controller
        characterController.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
    }
}

Example 6: how to add movement in unity

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    private string moveInputAxis = "Vertical";
    

    public float moveSpeed = 0.1f;
    public Rigidbody rb;
    public bool cubeIsOnTheGround = true;


    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }
    
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
       float moveAxis = Input.GetAxis(moveInputAxis); 

       ApplyInput(moveAxis);

       if(Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && cubeIsOnTheGround == true)
       {
           rb.AddForce(new Vector3(0, 7, 0), ForceMode.Impulse);
           cubeIsOnTheGround = false;
       } 

    private void ApplyInput(float moveInput)
    {
        Move(moveInput);
    }

    private void Move(float input)
    {
        transform.Translate(Vector3.forward * input * moveSpeed);
    }    

    private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision) {
        if(collision.gameObject.tag == "Ground") {
            cubeIsOnTheGround = true;
        }
    }
}
