I am trying to press P to go to my pockets, but nothing is happening. Please help.

You state checks are all in the Start method, hence they only get executed once at the beginning of your game. Simply move them to the Update method

I did that, but the code still won’t work. I think it has something to do with the key press things not being in the update method, but I’m not sure.

Can you show your new code?

Right, you shouldn’t move the line
myState = States.Cell;
into Update, that’s the initialization. If you put that line back into Start, it should be fine.
