I am a Chinese university student, and I love your videos, which help me a lot about making my own games. These videos have been translated to Chinese shared on some Chinese video platforms, and almost everyone love them. Thanks a lot :)

[@CouchFerretmakesGames]

I'm glad they help. :) Good luck on your games! Wow, that's soo coool! Could you give me a link or something? Or please let the translators know that I'm happy to work with them to create Chinese versions of the videos. :) Thank you!!

thank you so much! Btw: this also works with ps4 controller

[@narwhaale]

how do you make it go faster I need help

[@Alan742]

It worked, but the controls are backwards

[@SasisaPlays]

Will it work with dualshock 4? Yes it is.

[@CouchFerretmakesGames]

Awesome! :)

Can you please explain why you're setting floats on your animator?

[@alannahmernagh]

Nice tutorial, easy to follow. I have a question I am trying to set animation based on the position the player is moving based on a mouse click. The player will move in the direction the mouse is clicked, but the animation won't play. Are you able to tell from the code what is wrong? Thanks in advanced. void Update() { Vector2 movement = new Vector2(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), Input.GetAxis("Vertical")); if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Mouse0)) { targetPosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition); } anim.SetFloat("Horizontal", movement.x); anim.SetFloat("Vertical", movement.y); anim.SetFloat("Magnitude", movement.magnitude); transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, targetPosition, Time.deltaTime * 5); }

[@CouchFerretmakesGames]

Hey, thanks! The problem is that the movement vector you are using gets the values from either the wasd/arrow keys or a controller. And you've said that you want a point and click based movement. So, in this case, the movement vector is always a zero vector with both x,y and magnitude as 0s. You should be calculating the actual movement of the character between the current and the last frame and use this delta movement vector for the animation parameters.

would it work on mobile? i mean how can i make this kind of controller for mobile

[@CouchFerretmakesGames]

There are a few assets (free as well), on the asset store that gives you on screen analog stick. And if you use them for the movement vector and the fire then I think it would work. Here, Brackeys has a cool video on this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKGVgZx8eJ6midU

[@themotherland101]

how U do this if U no wan 2 animate???

[@dc5285]

same for ps4 controller ? i cant get it to work .he moves for a few secs then stops

[@CouchFerretmakesGames]

That's weird. It should work, maybe the mapping will be different a bit but it should work. Does it say something or just stops silently?

[@dc5285]

@@CouchFerretmakesGames i cant remember if it said anything. Im pretty new to this but i got incontrol now so should be ok. i moved on and making it work with mouse and keyboard now following your other video so i unfortunately cant go back to find the problem. Thanks for the instant reply tho! Much appreciated

[@CouchFerretmakesGames]

You’re welcome! Yep, an asset for universal input handling is a pretty huge time saver. :)

[@susmitdas]

should I skip this vid because I don't have an xbox cortroller?

[@CouchFerretmakesGames]

Well it won't hurt, but you can skip it yeah. In a more recent video I made mouse and keyboard controls.

[@antari8016]

I do not have an Xbox joystick, how to enter a fire on the keyboard.

[@CouchFerretmakesGames]

Well, then you should use the default ones that Unity creates for every project. For the movement, you can use the "Horizontal" and "Vertical" and for firing you can use the "Fire1". All of them are in the list. By default, the movement will work with the arrow keys and WASD, and fire will be left mouse click and left ctrl. However, you can change them if you want.
