Question by Farore · Apr 07, 2011 at 09:03 AM · movefirst-person-controller

First Person Controller Wont Move

Hi, I'm new to this Unity, and I tried to put a first person controller on my terrain, and it wont move, no matter what I do. It is the one that comes with unity when you download it. I have the free version. And I have no understanding of scripts yet. But no matter what I do, I simply cannot get my person to move. I can get it to look around, but not to move. Please help!

Hi everyone, I come here because I'm REALLY REALLY desperate.

I'm usually "that" guy which has the most absurd problems with any software, sometimes so basic that the answer is nowhere to be found, and it hinders my progress on anything I set out to do.

Today is no different... I'm trying to make a really basic FPS thingy in Unity3D. People told me it was a simple drag+drop of a First Person prefab. And apparently it is. Except in $$anonymous$$Y case, the character capsule won't $$anonymous$$OVE, won't LOO$$anonymous$$, won't JU$$anonymous$$P. It just sits there staring at wherever the camera is pointing with absolutely NO input reaction.

Please, I beg any of you for all that's holy HELP! I'm tired of being stuck by the most ridiculous of things! (And if it helps, I really absolutely SUC$$anonymous$$ at scripting/coding)

Any generous soul out there, I'd really appreciate any help.

$$anonymous$$y set up is as simple as: -First Person -Plane (to walk on) -Cubes (to use as walls) -Lights (to light up the place and see where I should be going)

I have the same issue, none of the answers I've found worked for me. It would be nice to know if this is a bug, which appears to be.

Also, make sure all of your movement speeds aren't set to 0. This was my embarrassing problem.

I had this weird issue when after starting the game the mouselook worked but the walking didn't. (on Linux). Tried everything in the forums - no good. Even the mouse pointer was gone after esc-ing.

Turned out I had to put the focus into the play window and then start the game by Ctr-P from there.

Hope this helps anyone.
