This is exactly what I've been looking for. No fluff or excess drivel, just straight to the point making it work. If I wanted to understand the finer details of these concepts I could just look at Unity docs and research on my own.

Every tutorial i see on youtube always has atleast 10 minutes just to explain this. Thank You!

[Pointless-Content]

So, a 30-minute tutorial didn't work, but a 1-minute one did. Wow!

[TheWise]

Thanks bro!!! Very useful. Just to the point. Keep it up bro. I'm making my first top-down game.

[devklebinho]

It's really perfect! This video is really what we need when we should remember something we already studied. Thank you!!!

[ShinyExuante]

i dont think your still responding to replies but, when id o this my character only moves left and right when i press w and d? and there are no errors??
nevermind! i had set the vertical axis to X instead of Y

[aethervibesofficial]

Awesome tutorial, but shouldn't we put rb.velocity = moveInput * moveSpeed; into FixedUpdate instead of Update to avoid speeding up or slowing down due to framerate?

[devmarboy]

thank you so much this was quick and easy lol

[ialyon]

It doesnt work for me in fact he gives a CS0844 error where it says that moveInput is not working. Can you help me?

[vmqs]

heres the code for people who are to lazy to type it:

edit: only use this if your code doesnt work/you get errors.

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

public class TopdownMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public float moveSpeed;
public Rigidbody2D rb2d;
private Vector2 moveInput;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{

}

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

moveInput.Normalize();

rb2d.velocity = moveInput * moveSpeed;
}
}

ArgumentException: Input Axis horizontal is not setup.
To change the input settings use: Edit -> Settings -> Input
topdownmovement.Update () (at Assets/topdownmovement.cs:20)

So. At 0:42 I don’t have the sections for move speed and rb2d. Yet I did everything you did. Any help?

[huycos]

Very helpful bro, Thank you so much, can you make more Top-down short tutorial videos?

[EvilP]

How do I choose the controls? It looks right, but how do I make it so that it goes up when I press W etc...

[iconic]

thanks for this vid man my rpg game is coming along now.

[randyxyt]

Hey man, I have some decent experience with Unity, just took a long break. I am now making a top-down game but I'm having one issue:
-My player still falls down, even though I set the gravity scale to 0 and later on, even the mass.
I've never encountered this issue and I wonder if you could help.
Thanks in advance!

[Spazmalex]

how do i choose the button to press! please respond quickly!

For those whose character slowly sinks set the body type to Kinematic

Whenever I run the game, the numbers for X and Y move, but the image doesn't
