First Person Controller Wont Move

Question

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!

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.

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

This is just a case when you build game for android platform..you would need to make some changes in the first person controller script .. If you wish to make it into the pc platform then just switch the platform to pc mode from file menu... Best of luck.

Wanted to add as comment, but not enough rep I guess...

To add to massimoatcatnicdotit's answer... if you have your build platform set to Windows Store, it defaults to a compiler define of MOBILE_INPUT, so you can either modify the script as stated, or under player settings, other settings panel, remove MOBILE_INPUT from "Scripting Define Symbols".

This has helped me for using the controller for prototyping Windows Store builds. In the long run I'll either have to use a different controller, or mod this one to correctly support today's modern world of mix/match of all kinds of input (i.e.-on my Windows tablet I often play games with a mix of touch and mouse input, sometimes even have my USB keyboard attached as well -- not to mention desktops with touch input).

this is the best answer! For me it was a Windows Store game that had the issue and this suggestion worked beautifully. THAN$$anonymous$$S!

The Default Input is MOBILE devices. I have added one line in the FirstPersonController.cs at the end of Start Method:

CrossPlatformInputManager.SwitchActiveInputMethod (CrossPlatformInputManager.ActiveInputMethod.Hardware);

This fixes the problem

Select FPSController from hierarchy -> Find First Person Controller from inspector -> Select Edit Script by clicking the setting gear (Script will open in new window) -> find Start $$anonymous$$ethod and insert : CrossPlatformInput$$anonymous$$anager.SwitchActiveInput$$anonymous$$ethod (CrossPlatformInput$$anonymous$$anager.ActiveInput$$anonymous$$ethod.Hardware); at the end.
