2D Top Down Movement UNITY Tutorial

[@Lipapalidev]

BRO I love you instead of just showing the code you also explain it even though it's 3 years old this is one of the few tutorials I respect

[@theduckyt9357]

Simple, straight to the point and only 7 minutes long. Love it.

People who gives their knowledge for free, r a other kind of hero. U r kinda saving lives if I think deep about it. Gj!

[@niblitsbopski6586]

I know how many comments have already said the same thing but this was shockingly concise and well made. You perfectly quickly explain everything so well. You've earned my subscription sir.

[@GeckoTech_Engineer]

I have a whole lot of concept art for a 2d top down game and these tutorials really helped, there is a lot of stuff I’m still trying to figure out like how I’m going to animate my sprites and a lot more, but I saved some of your tutorials to a playlist I will watch them all on repeat until I can understand it well

[@AsanpiCh]

Short, simple, and it works! As an artist trying to learn code, thank you!

[@blaze4074]

FINNALY a video that will work! i've lost my hair trying to find a top down movement tutorial

[@iamcheezeYT]

best tutorial! telling my friends to come here if they want to learn game dev

[@DanOfMostTrades]

I appreciate your speed and conciseness! Other tutorials are finishing up their promotions and introduction at 7:20

im making a small indie game with 2 of my friends and i have NEVER touched unity in my life and this tutorial helped me figure out movement enough to get the basics of the game

[@wickjon1844]

0:58 Small tip: if you make simple 2d top down game and don't need gravity or physics that much, you should change rigidbody2d -> body type from Dynamic (default) to Kinematic instead. So you don't have to worry about forgot set this thing up or something made up. Good luck on your journey!

[@koolkiller35]

I'm sorry I'm new to coding and don't understand. Can you explain that in a bit more detail?

[@wickjon1844]

​@@koolkiller35 You can refer here in 1:28 and 2:09 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqGWaHuwZtlkh5o Also you have to know that in unity when you build something in your scene event you build in 2D world basicly it's still happen in 3D that why you can switch it's properly and you can check in RigidBody2D -> Constraints -> Freeze rotation Z which is height value of 2D object in 3D world to prevent it's had strange behavior when interacting and have behavior of 3D world like floating around.

[@leaf4645]

​@@koolkiller35in the rigid body where u adjust the gravity, there is an potion called "bodytype" change that from dynamic to kinematic

[@TheWeatherMan2]

Good shout honestly

[@PolyxTheWise]

You, good sir, are a freaking LIFE SAVER. I was looking everywhere for a simple tutorial on this, and by God, you made it stupidly easy. Thanks to you I overcame a simple, yet seemingly insurmountable obstacle. THANK YOU! :)

[@Edward-Not-Elric]

Went way too fast at times and even cut away like 1 frame before you finished typing a line of code but I was able to make it work.

[@Ivy_olive_cats]

I can't type I need help

Omg, glad you’re ok!

[@martindotts8262]

I love how straight to the point this is. :)

[@jacobhuneault3420]

Had to rewatch on .75 and .5 speed and pause, but this is not a video about copying your code, simple explanations, right to the point, even just enough of extra info about some codeline, keep it up and thank you for your help

[@toiletdroid5914]

Nice video. Amazing how you can get full movement for top down in a 7 minute video. A lot of other tutorials drag on for like half an hour to achieve the same outcome. This is one of my 5* tutorials, which I keep in a folder for future reference.

[@plutoniumbellamy1912]

This is perfect for underwater movement. Thank you for this tutorial!

[@CASMANWHAT]

LOVE how you explains stuff. so clear!

[@laughingpanda95]

anyone who got stuck on the scripting bit. like me. i was missing the extensions in visual studio code. you just need the c# one but you'll also need .net framework 7 and the 4.7.1 devpack ( forgot full name) once i got those i had all the needed links after that it was a breeze. also at end my character wouldn't move and i had all the spelling and so on correct in the code the issue was super simple. i had to capitalise the H and V in horizontal and vertical. drove me mad but wanted to share because this video works but my road was bumpy cause those factors. liked and subbed mate spot on thank you

[@stipularbench1534]

OMFG the best tutorial easy to follow and I learned soooo much KEEP GOING

same here!

[@wizwizard7382]

hey, having trouble for some reason on ln22 col5 (fixed update) and cant figure out why. any ideas?

[@bhartisharma139]

FYI you can just put * speed in the process input float and put rb.velocity = moveDirection in void move and it will work just as fine as rb.velocity = new Vector2 (movedirection.x, movedirection.y)

[@keventy6114]

Thanks! I did this and linked it with the Animator StateMachine- with the Horizontal and Vertical inputs - to make very smooth-looking movements.

[@BMoDev]

Ayy nice work! You're ahead of the game, that was going to be a followup video :)

[@keventy6114]

[@T.worm.studios12]

Sure

[@fatherflyntdraws]

I followed the tutorial step by step, but it doesnt work. did i do anything wrong?

[@bask6588]

You probably are using a newer version of Unity

[@EliederSousa]

Thanks for the tutorial. The intellisense of my VS Code is not working properly; at 2:26, I type "Rigid" and nothing happens. How can I solve this?

[@waluigi521]

yes the same thing was happening to me

[@mr.bluesman9879]

You need to set your IDE settings in unity. You do it through preferences

[@waluigi521]

@@mr.bluesman9879 how do i do that?

[@ZombinhoGames]

do u have c# extension

[@cardario5323]

It scares me how good theses tutorials are!

[@BMoDev]

Wow appreciate it

[@des757]

Do you have your VS Code editor formatting method blocks in K&R style as you type or are those subtle jump cuts? I'm going crazy trying to get VSCode C# to stop doing Java style curly braces. Even the Unity snippet extension I'm using formats it that way, but the auto formatter fixes it when I hit the hotkey. I just want the lightweight-ness of Code with the feeling of Studio typing ahhh

[@Sam4Progress]

I was stuck using AddForce from a different tutorial, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out, or find the syntax for other movement types. Not only that, even had I found Velocity, the way it is implemented is different than the AddForce was... so I would've been lost regardless! Now, we have a very straightforward, and easy to understand multidirectional movement!

[@nikhilshelke9398]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am currently working on a procedurally generated dungeon game, and this helped me get started. Great video!

[@BMoDev]

Appreciate it! Would love to keep tabs on your game

[@jazzyjaiden]

More than a year old but this still holds up! Only nitpick is I wish you'd linger on your code for a second or two after you've finished typing rather than just zipping back over to Unity, gives me a chance to pause so I can fully read what you've done.

[@mrlaughgas]

Is there a reason you received the inputs and put them into the moveDirection vector only to separate the components again with: rb.velocity = new Vector2(moveDirection.x * movespeed, moveDirection.y * movespeed); Could you just do: rb.velocity = new Vector2(moveX * movespeed, moveY * movespeed);

[@florians.6402]

It would be really helpful when you jump around in the code to show the finished line of code for longer than 1ms before cutting to the next frame

[@amandacollins7392]

Super easy to follow tutorial!! We STAN Bmo 😎

[@BMoDev]

your comments actually make me laugh everytime

[@Patrick-il3uy]

Not really. I'm doing Unity the first time and he is just jumping around. It should be slower for a tutorial.

[@RootsOf7]

Great video, I was stuck for hours before. what interpreter are you using? I think mine is basic c#, and I even downloaded Unity for Visual Studio Code.

[@mattheww1072]

Great tutorial. If anyone's Vector2 is an issue, delete "using System.Numerics;" if it's in your Visual studio code. That fixed it for me
