SidescrollerMovement

This script is an advanced version of the Sidescroller Movement script included with Unity's Mobile Standard Assets. It has been converted to C# and modified to be more configurable. By default, the character this is added to will be able to move left and right along the X axis. The class has flags that can be set to enable jumping in the Y axis and movement in the Z axis. There are also settings that will allow the character to run if enabled.
