In this Unity tutorial, I teach you guys how to do basic 2D character movement in Unity. This includes allowing the player to move forward, back, left, and right on a 2D or 3D space.

C# Script:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Movement : MonoBehaviour
{
public float movementSpeed;
public Rigidbody playerR;
public Transform playerT;
public Animator playerA;

void Update(){
if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W)){
playerR.velocity = transform.forward * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
playerA.SetTrigger("Run");
playerA.ResetTrigger("Idle");
}
if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.W)){
playerA.SetTrigger("Idle");
playerA.ResetTrigger("Run");
}
if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D)){
playerR.velocity = transform.right * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
playerA.SetTrigger("Run");
playerT.localScale = new Vector3(1, 1, 1);
playerA.ResetTrigger("Idle");
}
if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.D)){
playerA.SetTrigger("Idle");
playerA.ResetTrigger("Run");
}
if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S)){
playerR.velocity = -transform.forward * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
playerA.SetTrigger("Run");
playerA.ResetTrigger("Idle");
}
if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.S)){
playerA.SetTrigger("Idle");
playerA.ResetTrigger("Run");
}
if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A)){
playerR.velocity = -transform.right * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
playerA.SetTrigger("Run");
playerT.localScale = new Vector3(-1, 1, 1);
playerA.ResetTrigger("Idle");
}
if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.A)){
playerA.SetTrigger("Idle");
playerA.ResetTrigger("Run");
}
}
}
