Top down movement

Hey guys,

I got a question. I working on a simple game, but I'm stuck at the controlls. What I want is that the player moves exactly an amount of pixels (lets say 32 pixels in mine game). So if i press up, the player must move exactly 32 pixels up.

here's an example of Boulderdash wich uses what I want:

Thanks in the advance!

use
gameobject.tranform.x

 

I would set 2D grid and move the player between the points when they move the arrow keys rather than have a character controller.

 

When pressing a key you can make the player enter in a state where he ignores all inputs and moves in one direction in a specific time. I'll use units in the example because I don't know how to control the movement by pixels.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. function Update()
3. {
4. if( walkToLeft == true)
5. {
6.   // TIME CHECK
7.   if( keyTime + 1.0 > Time.time ) // 32 units per second, each movement takes 1 second
8.   {
9.        transformToMove.Translate( Vector3( -32, 0, 0) * Time.deltaTime, Space.World ); // Move function
10.   }
11.  else // Time over, end of the movement
12.  { walkToLeft = false; }
13. }
14. else if( Input.GetButton("Left") ) // If the player isn't walking, you can make it walk
15. {
16.  walkToLeft = true;
17.  keyTime = Time.time; // To control the time
18. }
19.  
20.  

 

the movement based on pixels will also depend on where the camera is placed.

Instead of using pixels use x and z or something.
