Move 2D character with guiTexture - unity3d-2dtools

Question

I have a script for left movement that I wanna use with my sprite character in Unity3D.
I want it so that whenever the guiTexture is pressed, the sprite moves.
Here is the script for the movement:
public float maxSpeed = 10f;
public GameObject player;
void Start() {}
void FixedUpdate() {
float move = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
if (move < 0) {
move = move;
}
rigidbody2D.velocity = new Vector2 (move * maxSpeed, rigidbody2D.velocity.y);
}

Answer 1

Pass you gui texture to the player script and name it "YourGuiTexture".
There are various logical to detect GuiTexture hit most simplified is below:
On Keyboard:
public GUITexture YourGuiTexture;
void Update() {
if (YourGuiTexture.HitTest(Input.mousePosition) //check if your mouse is on your gui texture
{
float move = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
if (move < 0)
{
move = move;
}
rigidbody2D.velocity = new Vector2 (move * maxSpeed, rigidbody2D.velocity.y);
}
}
On Touch Mobile Devices:
public GUITexture YourGuiTexture;
// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
{
if (YourGuiTexture.HitTest(Input.GetTouch(0).position))
{
if(Input.GetTouch(0).phase==TouchPhase.Began)
{
float move = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
if (move < 0)
{
move = move;
}
rigidbody2D.velocity = new Vector2 (move * maxSpeed, rigidbody2D.velocity.y);
}
}
}
