My original version of doing movement was a pretty sloppy hacked version. I provided the source, but it was almost impossible to really figure out what was going on. I didn’t really know what was happening, but felt good because it worked. I went back and really cut down all the code to the minimum and explained it with a lot more comments. This post explains some of the basic elements to get that 3rd person character moving and rotating. On the 3rd person character controller script with the 3D platform tutorial that Unity provides, there is over 450+ lines of code describing how the character moves around. After studying it for a while, the most important parts of the script can be hard to spot with all of the different variables and other functionality.

For this post, I just wanted to narrow it down to basic movement and rotation. My example still has about 30 lines of code for the basics (over 40 with commenting). Controls: W,A,S,D move OR arrow keys Setup: If you want to start from scratch, you can start a new project and add an object you want to control and move. You can also start with a that I made. There is no gravity, physics, or collisions implemented with this explanation/tutorial, so you don’t have to create a ground plane for your character to fall on.

Just add a gameObject to the stage and add a script to the object. Add a character controller component to your character game object. If you are using my set up file, just open the charactermovement.js script and you’re ready. Nothing happens if you play the game now, since there is only one script and it is empty.

Everything from this point on will be dealing with the script attached to the game object you want to move. Private var controller:CharacterController; controller = gameObject.

GetComponent (CharacterController ); private var moveDirection = Vector3. Zero; private var forward = Vector3.

Zero; private var right = Vector3. Zero; These first lines are declared at the top of the script. They aren’t in any functions or classes. This is so that any function inside of the script can access the variables. Making them private means they can’t be accessed by the inspector.

Microsoft Train Simulator Full Rip Youtube. The first line creates a variables of type CharacterController. This is a class that is used to manage movement of your controllable character. The second line sets the controller variable to the character controller component.

“gameObject” is used to access the current gameobject that the script is attached to. The “GetComponent” method searches the game object for components that are attached to it. We can reference “controller” any where in the script if we want to use any character controller functions or methods. The last three lines are setting up the movement direction and forward directions to “Vector3.zero”. This is shorthand for making a new vector3 object with the value (0,0,0). These will store the absolute move direction along with the relative forward direction. Update function Since movement is constantly changing, all movement and directions need to be calculated every frame.
