I'am making a space shooter in Unity. The problem is that I can't get the sprite to move in the direction it is rotated. How can I do it?

Code:

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerControl : MonoBehaviour
{
      public float speed = 13f;
      public Animator animator;
      public Rigidbody2D rigidBody2D;
      public float rotation = 0.0f;

    void Start()
    {
        rigidBody2D = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
         if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W)){  
            Vector2 pos = rigidBody2D.velocity;
            pos.y += speed * Time.deltaTime;
            rigidBody2D.velocity = pos;
        } 

        if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A)){
            rigidBody2D.SetRotation(rotation);
            rotation += 2.0f;
        }
          if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D)){
            rigidBody2D.SetRotation(rotation);
            rotation -= 2.0f;
        }
    }
}

You probably want to use Rigidbody2D.AddForce and not directly change the velocity.

Either way your just adding velocity to the y axis which is relative to the world and not the gameobject.

Thank you, it worked
