Unity 2D Platformer Tutorial - Part 1 - Moving and Jumping

Thank you for the amazing video and for putting up annotations that work with Unity 5 and above. I've tried doing other tutorials, but they tend to try to show off their programming skills instead of trying to teach. You explain everything at a nice pace, and I really appreciate it. Time for part 2!

And one know why i get shaky movement?

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THAT LAST PART IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR HOW TO FIX THAT THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

your tutorials are very short and simple keep it up @gamesplusjames i like the simplicity of this tutorials . Not to complex and complicated

Your improved course link doesn't work

plz help, my char jump how much times i want!

link to the script

my character slides whenever i move my player left or right?

hey
I did same exactly as u did
But it shows error that

MissingComponentException: There is no 'Rigidbody' attached to the "Player" game object, but a script is trying to access it.
You probably need to add a Rigidbody to the game object "Player". Or your script needs to check if the component is attached before using it.

this is the perfect tutorial

amazing tutorial gamesplusjames I was looking all over for a video like this and I finally found it! Great help!

The arrows dont appear for me is there a way to fix this?

thanks so much this video helped me so much

If your character wont move its maybe because of a checkbox in the animator of your character which says ApplyRootMotion, uncheck it and you can move your character!

mine keeps rolling like a ball, so much fun!!!

I have 3 errors in my script that all say "CS1503 Argument 1: cannot convert from 'UnityEngine.KeyCode' to 'string' "

Can someone help?

HELP
HELP

Bro can you help me

that feeling when you press the space bar and your character jumps for the first time you're like hoooly shit!

Watching this in 2018 with 2018.1

It says UnityEngine.Component does not contain definition for velocity

I don't know why but my character just floats up at a diagonal angle

Hi GamesPlusJames, i just wanna thank you so much for these tutorials. From these tutorials i have been able to learn how to make my own game, AND it is free to download on google play now! If you would like to see it, it’s called “Adventures Of Cubot”

hi james how i can i click the format of the pic i can even click its not working pls help me

Love u man thank u alot

*Unity 5 example* if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
{
GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = new Vector2(moveSpeed, GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity.y);
}

for those of u who have no idea how to fix the player rolling well u have 2 enable freeze rotation z u have 2 check it of then it will stop your welcome

oh my gosh I can actually use C# now thanks so much! (ive watched your tutorials before but I basically just copied stuff and didn't know what it meant because I didnt care :P)

Very clear, great video for beginners as everything is explained!

What about episode 2????

I've made my first game with Unity. Payed the developer fee on android. Published and made 0$. I have 0 installs. Only 5 friends downloaded my app. I'm very discouraged to make another. Maybe the title is to long for Google Play: "Orange Explorer - classic retro puzzle platformer". I feel like only big to medium studios are getting all the traffic. Or Maybe I need to invest in some ads but that defeats the purpose. I want to make some money from ads not spend. :(

what about player movement on faux gravity? it gets all weird when you jump and walk, flying forever

is this outdated or I can still follow up

My character keeps disappearing. I am using a custom/different player.

god?

Damn deprecated codes.

:( faaaaaakk I just want to find a clear and updated tutorial on 2d Platformer start to finish, all the cool stuff.

I can't drag the art, etc. It doesn't work

Oldie but goodie! Great tutorial! 👍❤️🤓

Dont know if anyone still reads this thread, but I'm having difficulty implementing the jump script. When trying to assign the script, it doesn't exist. If you drag and drop it reads with the error: "Can't add script component 'PlayerMovement' because the script class cannot be found. Make sure that there are no compile errors and that the file name and class match."
I'm completely lost, any help would be greatly appreciated.

when I clicked space, My Character is flying what I must do?

its working on 2021 Thanks so much !

so for the past week I've been trying all different codes in the comments but i still get this code " error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'RigidBody2D' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)" any help will be greatly appreciated ill even buy you a macci for the trouble :)

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!

As a little update, instead of writting "rigidbody2D.velocity" you have to write "GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity" for the newest version of Unity.

what version of unity are you using?

dude you are so awsome your videos are such a huge help
