Creating a simple Character Script

Great Tutorial – Part 1 here: http://www.3dbuzz.com/vbforum/sv_showvideo.php?v=3593

Overwritable Scripts:

Start() – gets called first

Awake() – gets called right before first update

Update() – gets called every frame

(also all of your onMouseOver/enter/trigger/collision etc..)

This script is a simple component..

PLAYER.JS

public float PlayerSpeed;

void Start() //this is what happens before anything else.

{

transform.position = vector3(transform.position.x transform.position.y, transform.position.z);

}

void Update()

{

float amountToMove = Input.getAxis(“Horizontal”) * PlayerSpeed * Time.deltaTime;   //using delta time makes the speed the same no matter what system specs player has as now speed is based on time rather than system specs.

transform.Translate(Vector3.right * amountToMove);

}
