Game Development How to Make a Video Game Player Input and Cameras Move the Player with Animation

The movement script that I wrote is still not working. Can you help me?

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour {

private Animator playerAnimator;
private float moveHorizontal;
private float moveVertical;
public Vector3 movement;

// Use this for initialization 
void Start () {
    playerAnimator = GetComponent<Animator> ();



}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
    moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxisRaw ("Horizontal");
    moveVertical = Input.GetAxisRaw ("Vertical");

    movement = new Vector3 (moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical);
}

void FixedUpdate () {
    if (movement != Vector3.zero) {
        playerAnimator.SetFloat ("Speed", 3f);
    } else
    {
        playerAnimator.SetFloat ("Speed", 0f);
    }


}

}

Do you get any compile errors? If yes, what do they say?

I think you need to add an ending curly brace to the Fixed Update method. So...

playerAnimator.SetFloat ("Speed", 0f); }

}

}

It is still not working, can you give me the exact code that should work?

I'm further on in the course and more stuff has been added to the script, so before I do that your movement variable should be 'private' instead of 'public'.

Hi Diana, looking at your code I see you are missing a "}" at the end of your code. There should be three curly braces at the end. One for the else statement, one for the Void Update, and one for the entire script. Should look like this at the end:

playerAnimator.SetFloat ("Speed", 0f); } }

}

After you save it, it should work. I had to save a couple of time for the controls to work. Probably, lag from transferring script from the MonoDevelop to the Unity engine software.

Hope this helps.
