2D Mobile Game: Player Speed

Intro

In this article, we will quickly go over how to adjust the player’s movement speed.

The Code

The first thing we will want to is create a float variable called _speed withe a SerializedField, so we can adjust the variable in the Inspector while still keeping it private.

In the Movement method, we are simply going to multiply the horizontalInput value by the value of _speed. Since we are getting the Raw Axis value, the horizontalInput will either be -1 (moving left) or 1 (moving right) multiplied by the _speed value of 3 will give the player a speed of 3 units per second in either direction.
