Moving a 3d block on a surface left and right by touch button or image instead of A - D Keys - UNITY and C#












0















I've made a little game with the help of youtube tutorials and I have a problem.
Everything is ok with the game on pc, I use A and D to move left or right a cube to avoid obstacles in front.
The Block has a forwardspeed to move by itself forward with a given speed.



But.... and here comes the part where I am useless :))



I want to test my game on my Android Phone so I have to control the object with touchscreen Buttons or touching the left or right part of the mobile screen.
With A or D keys it's easy , but with mobile touch ... not so.
Down below is the code I use now for moving and a picture.



Thank you , any ideea is perfect.






using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour {

// This is a reference to the Rigidbody component called "rb"
public Rigidbody rb;

public float forwardForce = 2000f; // Variable that determines the forward force
public float sidewaysForce = 500f; // Variable that determines the sideways force

// We marked this as "Fixed"Update because we
// are using it to mess with physics.
void FixedUpdate ()
{
// Add a forward force
rb.AddForce(0, 0, forwardForce * Time.deltaTime);

if (Input.GetKey("d")) // If the player is pressing the "d" key
{
// Add a force to the right
rb.AddForce(sidewaysForce * Time.deltaTime, 0, 0, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
}

if (Input.GetKey("a")) // If the player is pressing the "a" key
{
// Add a force to the left
rb.AddForce(-sidewaysForce * Time.deltaTime, 0, 0, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
}

if (rb.position.y < -1f)
{
FindObjectOfType<GameManager>().EndGame();
}
}
}

          Its not hard at all.
          Start by extracting the movement into seperate methods



          public void MoveRight()
          {
          rb.AddForce(sidewaysForce * Time.deltaTime, 0, 0, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
          }

          public void MoveLeft()
          {
          rb.AddForce(-sidewaysForce * Time.deltaTime, 0, 0, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
          }

          void FixedUpdate ()
          {
          // Add a forward force
          rb.AddForce(0, 0, forwardForce * Time.deltaTime);
          if (Input.GetKey("d")) // If the player is pressing the "d" key
          MoveRight();
          if (Input.GetKey("a")) // If the player is pressing the "a" key
          MoveLeft();
          }


          All that's left to do is bind your buttons to those methods in the editor
