2D Movement
I am trying to make a code that moves left and right for unity in a 2D project, but there is a weird error occuring. Can someone help?
using UnityEngine;
public class Movement : MonoBehaviour
{
public float moveSpeed = 3f;
public float jumpHeight;
private KeyCode lastHitKey;
void Start() { } void Update() { if(Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.D)) { if(lastHitKey ==KeyCode.D) { movement.x = (transform.rightTime.deltaTime-moveSpeed).x; } } if(Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.A)) { if(lastHitKey ==KeyCode.A) { movement.x = (transform.rightTime.deltaTimemoveSpeed).x; } } } }
void Start() { } void Update() { if(Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.D)) { if(lastHitKey ==KeyCode.D) { movement.x = (transform.rightTime.deltaTime-moveSpeed).x; } } if(Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.A)) { if(lastHitKey ==KeyCode.A) { movement.x = (transform.rightTime.deltaTimemoveSpeed).x; } } } }

Describe the error that's occuring.
At first glance, you're never giving
lastHitKey a value, so that's a problem.You have a syntax error in the code which suggests you don't have your editor configured. You need to configure it before you do anything Unity related.
š” IDE Configuration If your IDE is not autocompleting code or underlining errors, please configure it. Select one: ā¢ :visualstudio: Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub) ā¢ :visualstudio: Visual Studio (Installed manually) ā¢ :vscode: VS Code ā¢ :JTRaider: JetBrains Rider ā¢ ā Other/NoneAnd if it isn't a syntax error, then please $paste your code properly.
If your code is too long, you can post to https://paste.mod.gg/, save, and copy the link into chat for others to see your shared code!
I just remembered * also makes test italic in which case it might not be a syntax error. Either way more context is needed
so what exactly do I do to fix it?
Im new to the whole unity thing so sorry
For starters share the error
You can find it in the Unity console in the actual Unity editor application
If it's not there you should check your Code editor's console instead which will display one
its saying that x on lines 19 and 26 is not defined
Share the whole thing please
Not small bits, the whole thing
Matter of fact, screenshot the whole editor where your code is so I can verify it's not actually configured @Me
If not, you will have to configure it in that case. Your issue will be solved then anyway
kk
@FusedQyou
Yes so it's not configured
We actually have a command now so let me use that one š
You have to configure your editor to work with Unity. $configureunity š

I do want to advice you to switch to either Visual Studio or Jetbrains as the support for Unity will be much better.
Iām using VS is the thing
Well, configure it
When you did, the editor will actually show you exactly what is wrong
it was already configured
It's not configured if the error you get is not from the editor
I don't know how VSCode works with Unity. I strongly suggest you switch to Visual Studio or Jetbrains Rider
ok, I'll try that brb
yeah, i'm on mac so VS wont work and Rider isn't my style
I found out what was happening though, turns out I had the C# language pack disabled in VS code exstentions
So does it show you the issue now?
yeah, its saying there's not definition for x (cs0117)
Yes because
movement is a variable that you used but it's not defined anywhereSo how should I define 'movement'?
How am I supposed to know? It's your code
If that's confusing to you I wonder if Unity is a good idea to use with your experience
i figured it out
You were right, it was a configuring error and turns out that my mac is too out dated to install the debugger for C#
but I fixed the code
Nice
Well your editor is configured now so that will help you a ton here
