Dictionary function for Character Contoller

    using UnityEngine;
    using System.Collections;
    using System.Collections.Generic;

    public class Keyboard_Input : MonoBehaviour {
        public float speed = 5f;

        void Start () {

            Dictionary<KeyCode, Vector3> directions = new Dictionary<KeyCode, Vector3>();
        {
            directions.Add(KeyCode.W, Vector3.forward );
            directions.Add(KeyCode.S, Vector3.back );
            directions.Add(KeyCode.A, Vector3.left );
            directions.Add(KeyCode.D, Vector3.right );
        };
        }


         void Update () {

            foreach(KeyValuePair<KeyCode, Vector3> direction in directions)
             {
                if (Input.GetKey(directions))
                {

                    this.transform.Translate(directions[direction] * speed * Time.deltaTime, Space.Self);
                }
            }
        }
    }

1.So I get an error for each time i write directions- The name 'directions' does not exist in the current context This happens on lines 25,27,30

Thankyou In Advance

You're declaring directions within the Start method, so it's a local variable. You should declare it as a field - and I'd make it a static field, as you don't need a different dictionary for each instance. You can use a collection initializer to initialize it all in one expression:

private static readonly Dictionary<KeyCode, Vector3> directions =
    new Dictionary<KeyCode, Vector3>
    {
        { KeyCode.W, Vector3.forward },
        { KeyCode.S, Vector3.back },
        { KeyCode.A, Vector3.left },
        { KeyCode.D, Vector3.right }
    };
