MoveDirection.Down

Description

The Down State of MoveDirection. Assign functionality for moving in a downward direction.

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

//Attach this script to a GameObject with a Rigidbody component. Press the "Move Down" button in Game view to see it in action.
