Objective Complete - Mini Debriefing
We just created a script that controls the movement of our character, and his animaion.
First, we set
in_direction
to
1
because we want our character To start by facing the right-
hand side. Then, we are looping through the array and iniializing the
SpriteManager
class
from its length. We will get the main camera from the current scene by using
Camera.main
.
This syntax allows us to access the
Main Camera
object from anywhere we want, and then
we assign the main camera posiion point to our character. Next, we will put the script in the
Update()
funcion, which is already created by default —similar to the
Start()
funcion.
This funcion will be used to control our character movement from walking to jumping, and
for updaing the animaion.
