unity 2d c# how to make a simple character platformer movement (has jumping phychics)


Creating a simple character platformer movement in Unity 2D involves handling input for moving left and right, jumping, and applying some physics. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you set up a basic 2D platformer movement with jumping physics. ### Step 1: Set Up the Project 1. **Create a New 2D Project**: - Open Unity, create a new project, and select the 2D template. 2. **Add a 2D Character**: - Create a new GameObject for the player. You can use a simple sprite or create a new sprite for the character. - Add a `SpriteRenderer` component to your player GameObject and assign a sprite. - Optionally, you can add a `BoxCollider2D` to your player for collision detection. 3. **Add a Ground Object**: - Create a ground GameObject in your scene to act as the platform. Add a `BoxCollider2D` to this object too, so your character can stand on it. ### Step 2: Create the Player Movement Script 1. **Create a Script**: - Right-click in the `Assets` folder, go to **Create > C# Script**, and name it `PlayerMovement`. 2. **Open the Script**: - Double-click the `PlayerMovement` script to open it in your preferred code editor. 3. **Implement the Movement Logic**: - Replace the contents of the `PlayerMovement.cs` with the following code: ```csharp using UnityEngine; public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour { public float moveSpeed = 5f; // Speed of the player public float jumpForce = 10f; // Force applied when jumping private Rigidbody2D rb; // Reference to the Rigidbody2D component private bool isGrounded; // To check if the player is on the ground private void Start() { rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>(); // Get the Rigidbody2D component } private void Update() { Move(); Jump(); } private void Move() { float moveInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"); // Get the horizontal input (A/D, Left/Right) Vector2 moveVelocity = new Vector2(moveInput * moveSpeed, rb.velocity.y); // Create a velocity vector rb.velocity = moveVelocity; // Assign the velocity to the Rigidbody2D } private void Jump() { if (isGrounded && Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")) // Check if the player is grounded and the jump button is pressed { rb.AddForce(new Vector2(0f, jumpForce), ForceMode2D.Impulse); // Apply the jump force } } private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision) { if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Ground")) // Check if the collision object has the tag "Ground" { isGrounded = true; // Set isGrounded to true } } private void OnCollisionExit2D(Collision2D collision) { if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Ground")) // Check if the collision object has the tag "Ground" { isGrounded = false; // Set isGrounded to false } } } ``` ### Step 3: Attach the Script to the Player 1. Select your player GameObject in the hierarchy. 2. Drag and drop the `PlayerMovement` script from the `Assets` into the player GameObject in the inspector. ### Step 4: Set Up Physics 1. **Add a Rigidbody2D**: - Select your player GameObject and add a `Rigidbody2D` component to it. Set the following properties: - **Gravity Scale**: Typically set to `1` (default). - **Mass**: This can be adjusted, but 1 is usually fine for simple games. 2. **Tag the Ground**: - Select your ground GameObject and in the Inspector, add a tag named “Ground”. If it doesn’t exist, create a new tag by clicking “Add Tag…” then create the “Ground” tag. ### Step 5: Configure Input 1. By default, Unity uses "Horizontal" (for left/right movement) and "Jump" (for jumping with the spacebar). - You can customize input settings in `Edit > Project Settings > Input Manager`. ### Step 6: Test Your Game 1. Save your scene (File > Save). 2. Press the Play button in Unity to test your character movement: - Use the left and right arrow keys or "A" and "D" to move. - Use the spacebar to jump. ### Additional Notes - **Smooth Jumping**: You might want to add more advanced jumping physics (like implementing variable jump height). For simple implementations, gravity scale and jump force should suffice. - **Animations**: For a more polished feel, consider adding animations for running and jumping. - You can enhance the physics further by refining the Rigidbody2D settings or implementing additional features like double jumps, sliding, or wall jumps. This is a basic setup. Once you get this working, you can start adding more features like animations, sound effects, or even enemies!
