PlayerController from a unity game I am making.

Actor.cs

using System;
using UnityEngine;

namespace FragCastle.GameObjects
{
    public class Actor : MonoBehaviour
    {
        private const string HorizontalAxis = "Horizontal";

        private Animator _animator;

        private bool _flipped = false;

        public Vector2 speed = new Vector2( 1, 1 );

        public Animator Animator
        {
            get
            {
                return _animator;
            }
        }

        public Single GetXInput()
        {
            return Input.GetAxis( HorizontalAxis );
        }

        public void Awake()
        {
            _animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
        }

        public virtual void Update()
        {
            var inputX = GetXInput();
            var localScaleX = Mathf.Abs( transform.localScale.x );

            // flip the character if they are running left!
            if( inputX < 0f )
                _flipped = true;

            if( inputX > 0f )
                _flipped = false;

            localScaleX *= _flipped ? -1 : 1;
            transform.localScale = new Vector3( localScaleX, transform.localScale.y, transform.localScale.z );
        }
    }
}

PlayerController.cs

using FragCastle.GameObjects;
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerController : Actor
{
    public override void Update()
    {
        var inputX = GetXInput();
        
        if( Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) )
        {
            Animator.SetTrigger("Shooting");
        } 
        else
        {
            Animator.SetBool( "Moving", Mathf.Abs(inputX) > 0f );
        }

        var status = Animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo( 0 );

        if( inputX != 0f && !status.IsName( "player_shoot" ) )
        {
            var movement = new Vector3( speed.x * inputX, 0, 0 );

            movement *= Time.deltaTime;

            transform.Translate( movement );
        }

        base.Update();
    }
}
