Trouble loading legacy script

Help & Support
1

my code is having an error loading scripts can someone help? here is my code.

(pc.script.create('move', function (app) {
 // Creates a new Move instance
 var Move = function (entity) {
 this.entity = entity;
 };
 
 Move.prototype = {
 // Called once after all resources are loaded and before the first update
 initialize: function () {
 },
 
 // Called every frame, dt is time in seconds since last update
 update: function (dt) {
 if(app.keyboard.isPressed(pc.input.KEY_RIGHT)){
 this.entity.translateLocal(0.1,0,0);
 }
 
 if(app.keyboard.isPressed(pc.input.KEY_LEFT)){
 this.entity.translateLocal(-0.1,0,0);
 }
 
 if(app.keyboard.isPressed(pc.input.KEY_UP)){
 this.entity.translateLocal(0,0.1,0);
 }
 
 if(app.keyboard.isPressed(pc.input.KEY_DOWN)){
 this.entity.translateLocal(0,-0.1,0);
 }
 }
 };
 
 return Move;
});
)

(pc.script.attribute("camera", "entity", null); // optional, assign a camera entity, otherwise one is created
pc.script.attribute("power", "number", 5000);
pc.script.attribute("lookSpeed", "number", 0.5);

Hi @chase_young1 and welcome,

Please don’t respond to older topics unless your question is closely related to it.

I think this script is very old and uses legacy scripting. That isn’t supported right now in PlayCanvas. Where did you find it?

Here is a newer version with a tutorial on how to use it:
