Courses Plus Student 441 PointsFrog doesn't move when keys are pressed.
Getting no compile errors but here is the code just in case.
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour {
private Animator playerAnimator;
private float moveHorizontal;
private float moveVertical;
private 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);
}
}
}

Courses Plus Student 441 PointsI am unsure of what you mean by add the Animation in Animator Window. I have gone over the course so far and found no mention of that. And everything seems to be spelled correctly.

7,599 PointsThere should be a folder called Animators in your project, open it and double click the PlayerController. Check if the parameters are also spelled Speed and click on the arrows and check the condition in the inspector. I tested your code, and in my project the frog moves forward so I can't really tell what the problem is, you could try a different version of Unity!

Courses Plus Student 441 PointsI see hop, idle, and the arrows in between have different speeds. What should they be set as? Hop is set to a speed of 4, idle a speed of 5, the arrow hop > idle a speed of 1, and the arrow idle > hop 0.5. I have the most up to date version of Unity right now. Would I need to downgrade to a lower version? If that is the problem then how?

Courses Plus Student 441 PointsWhat should the condition be in the inspector?

2,289 PointsHello James, What exactly you try to do?, are you trying to move the animation of the frog? Or trying to move the frog around the environment? If you try to move the frog around the environment then you need a Rigidbody

Courses Plus Student 441 PointsMove around the environment. What do you mean by Rigidbody? Been no mention of that.

2,289 PointsHi James,
i see now where you are, you are taking the "Move the Player with animation" class then Nick is going to talk about the Quaternions: Quaternions are mathematical objects that represent a 3D rotation. In Unity, the Quaternion class has many useful methods and variables.
Don't be impatient to move the character around the environment and don't jump any class just follow along with nick he is going to teach you everything you need to finish your game.
And remember one step at a Time.
Cheers!, Joel

Courses Plus Student 441 PointsHis frog is moving around though at the end of "Move the Player with Animations". I haven't touched the next one, "Quaternions" since my frog isn't moving and I haven't skipped any sections. Are you saying that I should move onto the next step and my frog will start moving later?

7,599 PointsDid you add the Animation in Animator Window and are the parameters spelled correctly?
