Is there any specific reason for using Translate instead of rigid or CharController?

for anyone who wants to do it with rigidbody>> public float playerSpeed = 5f; public Rigidbody rb; Vector3 playerPosition; private void Start() { rb = GetComponent(); } void Update() { playerPosition.x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"); playerPosition.z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical"); rb.MovePosition(rb.position + playerPosition * playerSpeed * Time.deltaTime); if (playerPosition != Vector3.zero) { transform.forward = playerPosition; }

[@KetraGames]

Thanks 👍

[@gulikaontop]

its better to put `rb = GetComponent();` in void awake() instead of start(), also its better to put physics related stuff in void FixedUpdate()

[@Vanilthas59]

Thank you for this video! I have been following the course of CodeMonkey about Beginner to Intermediate Game Developer, and I've found this problem about the character keeping looking to z = 0. Now I know it's because of the character gets back to that value

great vid! really needed that quaternion process. Is there a way to keep an object facing in the direction of travel after the keys are let go instead of it snapping to the vertical or horizontal axises?

[@KetraGames]

Thanks, glad you found it useful 😊 The script in the video should keep the object facing in the right direction after the keys are released. You need to check if the object is moving before applying the rotation to stop it snapping back. If (movementDirection != Vector3.zero) { ... } Skip to 4.40 in the video for a recap. Hope that helps 😊

[@MKHideOut]

@@KetraGames Its not keeping the object facing the correct direction
