BGE: Movement Script

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion

I want My cube to move on the ‘Z’ Axis my 1 blender unit only when I press the ‘W’ Key. In the logic of the cube I have a keyboard sensor named ‘Keyboard’ connected to a python controller selecting the script i want to run. i am new to programming/scripting and i have been trying to learn BGE python for a while now

Can someone please tell me why this script is not working?

I made it, by going back a forth to different pages in the BPY python documentation

OMG i just realized i didn’t even but the script i wrote in the post lol

so this is the first script i ran

import bge

#class Player(bge.types.KX_GameObject):
cont = bge.logic.getCurrentController()
sensor = cont.sensors[“Keyboard”]
obj = cont.owner

for key,status in sensor.events:

if status == bge.logic.KX_INPUT_JUST_ACTIVATED:
    if key == bge.events.WKEY:                
        obj.localLinearVelocity.y += 20
        print("Key Pressed")

then this is the second script i ran

import bge
import mathutils

cont = bge.logic.getCurrentController()
obj = cont.owner
sensor = cont.sensors[‘Keyboard’]
key = sensor.events

if key == WKEY:
obj.worldPosition.z += 1

use a motion actuator. 1 on the brick is 1 bl unit.

but if you have to use python, DO NOT use BPY, use BGE.

import bge

cont = bge.logic.getCurrentController()
owner = cont.owner

keyboard = bge.logic.keyboard.events  # lets use the py kb

wkey = bge.events.WKEY

tap = bge.logic.KX_INPUT_JUST_ACTIVATED
press = bge.logic.KX_INPUT_ACTIVE

if keyboard[wkey] == tap:
    owner.applyMovement((0,0,1), True)

So I forgot to enter the script I made, but it is there now in the original post. But it didn’t work when I used your script either, but just so you know what I’m working with here is the .blend
