Whoah hello there handsome are you new around here??

IF YOUR CHARACTER IS ALWAYS LOOKING AT THE CENTER OF THE SCREEN (or some other fixed point) and not rotating towards your mouse cursor, change the camera to ORTHOGRAPHIC. By default the main camera seems to be set to PERSPECTIVE which adds a Z component into the mix which isn't handled by the code shown in this video.

There are rumors that those bullets that exited the screen without any collision are still flying around these days.

[sykoo]

AHHHH YOUR HAIR!! I was like "ah neat they hired a new guy at Brackeys!"

[silentminecrafter]

Brackeys is nice, easily understood, and his tutorials are great.

[josephpizzati]

I love how genuinly excited Brackeys gets with something like a bullet shooting out.. he's probably written a similar script to that a million times but still acts like its the first time he has ever done it... ahhaaha love him

i had an issue and i figured it out without Brackey i am truly evolving

[Roundbeargames]

i grew up playing gta2 and hotline miami was one of those games that made me wanna be a game developer. top down shooters will always have a special place in my heart :)

[mehmedcavas]

Brackeys please make a video about clean code or solid solid principles :)

[XtrminatR]

I think the reason Brackeys is more popular than other unity youtubers is that not only he makes great tutorials, he also explains the code so even a 5 year old could understand. Great job brackeys!

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public float moveSpeed = 5f;

public Rigidbody2D rb;
public Camera cam;

Vector2 movement;
Vector2 mousePos;

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
movement.x =
movement.y =

mousePos =
}

private void FixedUpdate()
{
rb.MovePosition(rb.position + movement * moveSpeed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);

Vector2 lookDir = mousePos - rb.position;
float angle = Mathf.Atan2(lookDir.y, lookDir.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg - 90f;
rb.rotation = angle;
}
}


this is for 2d movement
and for me so i can come back in the future

I miss a couple of brackeys episodes and suddenly he is jesus LOL

[echelon]

*_Thank you for tuning in at Brackeys_*

[burlydoe]

@9:23 you have to do -90f because for Unity the std 0 degree is to the right. and you later addForce to the up vector. if you use
rb.AddForce(firePoint.right) you dont have to do -90. But beware you have to rotate the sprite in the prefab also to point to the right.

[NatGames]

this is the first thing i've been able to successfully get working on unity- thank you so much man.

[michaelwarwavesyn]

After bombing the recent GameJam I just signed up for Jason's course. I'm a little skeptical but if Brackeys recommends him then I'm all for it. Wish me luck everyone!

[Jalechah]

i don't make 2D games, but i still end up learning tips and tricks from these videos that i can use. Thanks for another awesome, well explained video :)

[orionsswords]

You can solve the "need to offset by -90°" problem by having your sprites start pointing to the right rather than up. 0° in screen space points to the right rather than up/forwards like a compass.

Hi! I'm Brazilian, and, to love your channel, many things are not found for my language unfortunately, but you do it so calmly, and step by step you can understand it without knowing anything about English, just knowing a little of a language, the creation.

[ayushsagar]

This is so sad because he stopped making vids now
