Join Jesse Freeman for an in-depth discussion in this video Making the player run, part of Advanced Unity 2D: Platformer Player Movement.
- Now you may have noticed that our player…is a little bit slow when he walks.…Of course, we can update the speed…but a better solution is to actually add a new key…that'll modify the speed at which he walks…and allow him to run.…In order to do this, we're gonna need…to open up our walk script.…In here, we're gonna add a new public property…that'll represent the multiplier that will use…to increase the speed value…when the run key is being pressed.…Create a public float and call this runMultiplier.…
And we'll set this value to 2.…This means when we're running, we'll be actually multiplying…the speed by 2 and make him look like he's going faster.…Next, we're gonna need to keep track…if the run key is being pressed.…Let's copy the left key and change this to run…and set the inputState to 2, we'll add a new button later.…Then, before we actually calculate the velocity X…let's modify the temp speed.…
In this case, we're gonna want to make sure…that run is actually being pressed…and that the runMultiplier is greater than 0.…
