MoveDirection.Right

Description

This is the Right state of MoveDirection. Assign functionality for moving to the right.

Use the Right state for an easily identifiable way of moving a GameObject to the right (1 , 0 , 0). This is a state without any predefined functionality. Before using this state, you should define what your GameObject will do in code.
