Player won't jump in Unity 2D

no matter what I do with my code, the Player doesn't seem to want to jump. Everything is referenced correctly in Unity and the code is hopefully error free. I've also checked to see if the Input System is corresponding to what I've got pressed. The only thing I can think of is the force isn't strong enough for the player to lift off of the ground, due to the high gravity (7f). But I lowered the gravity and nothing changed. Thanks for the help in advance.
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
private float horizontal;
private float speed = 8f;
private float jumpingPower = 16f;
private bool isFacingRight = true;
private bool isJumping;
private float coyoteTime = 0.2f;
private float coyoteTimeCounter;
private float jumpBufferTime = 0.2f;
private float jumpBufferCounter;
[SerializeField] private Rigidbody2D rb;

private void Update()
{
horizontal = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
if (IsGrounded())
{
coyoteTimeCounter = coyoteTime;
}
else
{
coyoteTimeCounter -= Time.deltaTime;
}
if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
{
jumpBufferCounter = jumpBufferTime;
}
else
{

}
if (coyoteTimeCounter > 0f && jumpBufferCounter > 0f && !isJumping)
{
rb.velocity = new Vector2(rb.velocity.x, jumpingPower);
jumpBufferCounter = 0f;
StartCoroutine(JumpCooldown());
}
if (Input.GetButtonUp("Jump") && rb.velocity.y > 0f)
{
rb.velocity = new Vector2(rb.velocity.x, rb.velocity.y * 0.5f);

}
Flip();
}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
rb.velocity = new Vector2(horizontal * speed, rb.velocity.y);
}
private bool IsGrounded()
{

//return Physics2D.OverlapCircle(groundCheck.position, 0.2f, groundLayer);
}

{
if (isFacingRight && horizontal < 0f || !isFacingRight && horizontal > 0f)
{

The code works fine and the player jumps and moves without problems
Make sure to perform these steps inside Unity Engine
Inside the player you must add
Rigidbody2D
Box Collider2D
the code
Inside the code you must specify
Ground Layer : "Ignore Raycast"
Ground Check : "The ground the player is walking on"
And inside the ground must be added
Layer : "Ignore Raycast"
Component: "Box Collider2D"
As in these pictures
Player
enter image description here
Ground
enter image description here

The code worked. The ground check had a collider on it, when it wasn't necessary. The ground check in reality was inside the player.

How to flip 2D sprite when you move mouse cursor from Left to Right

I am attempting to make 2D topdown shooter game. I first implemented weapon rotation and it worked fine. However, after implementing character sprite flip, the weapon sprite now doesn't rotate to right and the character sprite went weird. What am I doing wrong?
Character Movement Script:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class Movement : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed;
private Rigidbody2D rb;
Vector2 movement;
bool facingRight = true;
// Update is called once per frame
private void Awake()
{
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}
void Update()
{
movement.x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
movement.y = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
Vector3 mousePos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
if (mousePos.x > transform.position.x && facingRight)
{
flip();
}
else if (mousePos.x > transform.position.x && !facingRight)
{
flip();
}
}
void flip()
{
facingRight = !facingRight;
transform.Rotate(0f, 180f, 0f);
}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
movement.Normalize();
rb.velocity = new Vector2(movement.x * speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime, movement.y * speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
}
}
Weapon Rotation Script:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class GunRotation : MonoBehaviour
{
// Gun Rotation Function
public float offset;
private SpriteRenderer spriteRender;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
spriteRender = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
// Gun Rotation Function
Vector3 difference = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition) - transform.position;
float rotZ = Mathf.Atan2(difference.y, difference.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, 0f, rotZ + offset);
if (rotZ < 89 && rotZ > -89)
{
Debug.Log("Facing right");
spriteRender.flipY = false;
}
else
{
Debug.Log("Facing left");
spriteRender.flipY = true;
}
}
}

You need just to reverse > in else if condition and it'll work fine
Vector3 mousePos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
if (mousePos.x > transform.position.x && !facingRight)
{
flip();
}
else if (mousePos.x < transform.position.x && facingRight)
{
flip();
}

Multiple Error Messages C# Script Unity. Need some help (beginning scripter)

I work in unity since 2 days now. I was scripting for a 2d Sprite. When i added the last elements the script didn't work anymore. but i want to make this work. can someone look at the error messages and then to the script to see what is wrong with it.
Error 1: (25,38): error CS1503: Argument #2' cannot convertfloat' expression to type `UnityEngine.Vector2'
Error 2: (25,38): error CS1502: The best overloaded method match for `UnityEngine.Physics2D.OverlapBox(UnityEngine.Vector2, UnityEngine.Vector2, float)' has some invalid arguments
Script:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed = 5f;
public float jumpSpeed = 8f;
private float movement = 0f;
private Rigidbody2D rigidBody;
public Transform groundCheckPoint;
public float groundCheckRadius;
public LayerMask groundLayer;
private bool isTouchingGround;
void Start()
{
rigidBody = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ();
}
void Update()
{
isTouchingGround = Physics2D.OverlapBox (groundCheckPoint.position, groundCheckRadius, groundLayer);
movement = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
if (movement > 0f)
{
rigidBody.velocity = new Vector2 (movement * speed, rigidBody.velocity.y);
}
else if (movement < 0f)
{
rigidBody.velocity = new Vector2 (movement * speed, rigidBody.velocity.y);
}
else
{
rigidBody.velocity = new Vector2(0, rigidBody.velocity.y);
}
if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && isTouchingGround)
{
rigidBody.velocity = new Vector2(rigidBody.velocity.x,jumpSpeed);
}
}
}

isTouchingGround = Physics2D.OverlapCircle(groundCheckPoint.position, groundCheckRadius, groundLayer);
If you still wanting to use the OverlapBox, here's the link to the Scripting API for it (I personally got here whenever I'm stuck): Unity - Scripting API: Physics2D.OverlapBox
Also, I would move the coding for player jumping to the FixedUpdate function instead of the Update function. Seen below is my code from my player controller script from a 2D platformer that I did for a game jam. Hope this helps.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed;
public float jumpForce;
private float moveInput;
private Rigidbody2D rb;
private bool facingRight = true;
private bool isGrounded;
public Transform groundCheck;
public float checkedRadius;
public LayerMask whatIsGround;
private int extraJumps;
private void Start()
{
extraJumps = 1;
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
isGrounded = Physics2D.OverlapCircle(groundCheck.position, checkedRadius, whatIsGround);
moveInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
rb.velocity = new Vector2(moveInput * speed, rb.velocity.y);
if (facingRight == false && moveInput > 0)
{
Flip();
}
else if (facingRight == true && moveInput < 0)
{
Flip();
}
}
private void Update()
{
if (isGrounded == true)
{
extraJumps = 2;
}
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W) && extraJumps > 0)
{
rb.velocity = Vector2.up * jumpForce;
extraJumps--;
}
else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W) && extraJumps == 0 && isGrounded == true)
{
rb.velocity = Vector2.up * jumpForce;
}
}
void Flip()
{
facingRight = !facingRight;
Vector3 Scaler = transform.localScale;
Scaler.x *= -1;
transform.localScale = Scaler;
}
}

How can i make my prefab completely reverse (180 degrees) from it's spawnpoint? Unity 2D

So i made a little side scroller that uses a prefab to spawn bullets.
My problem is that it only shoots to one side... the Right.
I need it to fire to the left as well. I've already made a variable to see if the player is looking to the right or left.
I've tried to put the Speed to -20 and i've tried to rotate it 180 degrees on it's Z axis. I tested if the bullet script even picked up the change from the player movement script and it does.
Player Movement script
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject bullet;
private Rigidbody2D myRigidbody;
private float speed = 15;
private bool facingRight;
private bool ground = false;
private float jump = 23;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
facingRight = true;
myRigidbody = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void FixedUpdate()
{
float horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
Movement(horizontal);
Flip(horizontal);
if (Input.GetKey("w"))
{
if (ground)
{
GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = new Vector2(GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity.x, jump);
}
}
if(facingRight == false)
{
bullet.GetComponent<bullet>().left = true;
}
if (facingRight == true)
{
bullet.GetComponent<bullet>().left = false;
}
}
void OnTriggerEnter2D()
{
ground = true;
}
void OnTriggerExit2D()
{
ground = false;
}
private void Movement(float horizontal)
{
myRigidbody.velocity = new Vector2(horizontal * speed,myRigidbody.velocity.y);
}
private void Flip(float horizontal)
{
if (horizontal > 0 && !facingRight || horizontal < 0 && facingRight)
{
facingRight = !facingRight;
Vector3 theScale = transform.localScale;
theScale.x *= -1;
transform.localScale = theScale;
}
}
}
Weapon script
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class weapon : MonoBehaviour
{
// Start is called before the first frame update
public bool right;
public Transform firepointR;
public GameObject bulletPrefab;
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown("space"))
{
Debug.Log("Oh well");
Shoot();
}
}
void Shoot()
{
Instantiate(bulletPrefab, firepointR.position, firepointR.rotation);
}
}
bullet script
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class bullet : MonoBehaviour
{
public bool left;
public float speed = 20;
public Rigidbody2D rb;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
rb.velocity = transform.right * speed;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void FixedUpdate()
{
Debug.Log(speed);
if (left == false)
{
transform.Rotate(0, 0, 180);
}
}
}
As i previously said i need my bullet (prefab) to go the opposite direction but whatever i do right now it will always go right.

Expanding on my comment:
Did you try reversing the velocity?
rb.velocity = -(transform.right * speed);
Note: There are instances when using a negative float wont return the opposite of the positive result. However, in this example, it will work just fine.
I imagine this will work also (and is probably the correct way of doing it):
rb.velocity = transform.left * speed;

Get player to jump with touch screen control

Hello and thanks for reading this post.
I have 2 objects: A player Object and a JumpButton Object.
The Player object is the player. ofc. The JumpButton Object is an object that I want to make the player jump when you use a touch screen device aka android phone.
This is my Script that is assinged to my JumpButton: using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class JumpButtonScript : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject player;
public GameObject JumpButton;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
player = GameObject.Find ("player");
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
if ((Input.touchCount == 1) && (Input.GetTouch(0).phase == TouchPhase.Began))
{
}
}
}
This is the script that allows me to control the player with arrow keys.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class RobotController : MonoBehaviour {
//This will be our maximum speed as we will always be multiplying by 1
public float maxSpeed = 2f;
public GameObject player;
public GameObject sprite;
//a boolean value to represent whether we are facing left or not
bool facingLeft = true;
//a value to represent our Animator
Animator anim;
//to check ground and to have a jumpforce we can change in the editor
bool grounded = true;
public Transform groundCheck;
public float groundRadius = 1f;
public LayerMask whatIsGround;
public float jumpForce = 300f;
private bool isOnGround = false;
void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision) {
isOnGround = true;
}
void OnCollisionExit2D(Collision2D collision) {
anim.SetBool ("Ground", grounded);
anim.SetFloat ("vSpeed", rigidbody2D.velocity.y);
isOnGround = false;
}
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
player = GameObject.Find("player");
//set anim to our animator
anim = GetComponent <Animator>();
}
void FixedUpdate () {
//set our vSpeed
//set our grounded bool
grounded = Physics2D.OverlapCircle (groundCheck.position, groundRadius, whatIsGround);
//set ground in our Animator to match grounded
anim.SetBool ("Ground", grounded);
float move = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");//Gives us of one if we are moving via the arrow keys
//move our Players rigidbody
rigidbody2D.velocity = new Vector3 (move * maxSpeed, rigidbody2D.velocity.y);
//set our speed
anim.SetFloat ("Speed",Mathf.Abs (move));
//if we are moving left but not facing left flip, and vice versa
if (move > 0 && !facingLeft) {
Flip ();
} else if (move < 0 && facingLeft) {
Flip ();
}
}
void Update(){
if ((isOnGround == true && Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.UpArrow)) || (isOnGround == true && Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space))) {
anim.SetBool("Ground",false);
rigidbody2D.AddForce (new Vector2 (0, jumpForce));
}
if (isOnGround == true && Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.DownArrow))
{
gameObject.transform.localScale = new Vector3(transform.localScale.x, 0.2f, 0.2f);
}
if (isOnGround == true && Input.GetKeyUp (KeyCode.DownArrow))
{
gameObject.transform.localScale = new Vector3(transform.localScale.x, 0.3f, 0.3f);
}
}
//flip if needed
void Flip(){
facingLeft = !facingLeft;
Vector3 theScale = transform.localScale;
theScale.x *= -1;
transform.localScale = theScale;
}
}
As you can see, then I managed to make the player move on arrow keys, but how can I make it jump when I hit the jump button (touch Screen press), as on an Android Phone?
I really hope you can help me.

If your problem is how to handle input, try this code we will make ray from camera to mousepos in screen and check tag to see what we hitted
public class handleInput: MonoBehaviour {
void Update () {
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0)) {
Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
RaycastHit hit;
if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit)) {
if (hit.collider.tag=="jumpbutton"){
jump();
}
}
}
}
}
and for the jumping part you can do this , adding a force to player to send him up and gravity should pull him down
if (grounded == true)
{
rigidbody.AddForce(Vector3.up* jumpSpeed);
grounded = false;
}
