[Unity] First Person Controller [E01: Basic Controller]

The FPS controller series is now revamped and making a return! The goal of this series is to create a character controller from scratch without using pre-built assets. In this episode, I demonstrate how to set up a controller that is controllable with the mouse and WASD keys. The controller is also influenced by gravity.

Time stamps:
0:00 Intro
0:34 Building controller in editor
2:18 Script setup
2:50 Mouse look
7:49 Locking and hiding cursor
8:31 WASD input
14:55 Smoothing WASD input
17:20 Smoothing mouse look
18:20 Gravity
20:21 Outro

Had to reupload this video again since the previous one had bad audio quality. Whoops! All fixed now though. Enjoy.

Sad you never continued this. It's one of the most professional and beginner-welcoming videos.

The practical animations for every concept make this one of the best movement tutorials I've seen. Thanks!

[SpaceManCharles]

I searched for so many videos on FPS controllers. This is by far the best one I found, if not the best Unity Tutorial I've ever watched. Please make more tutorials, you're talented.

Most clean and explanatory tutorial I have every seen and I've seen a lot of them in the last five years. The visualization is just fantastic. That's how you learn something, not by just copying what the other person does. Btw don't put pressure on you to make more tutorials, do what you love. I just wanted to let you know ( I guess you already know it ) that you could clearly succeed in teaching, by doing youtube videos or udemy courses etc. This can be at the back of your head in case you want to do something different. But if you don't enjoy it as much and you prefer making games or whatever u do. Do your thing ;) Have a great day and thank you :D

40days later, I'm still waiting for EP02. :DDDD

[janbarnabas]

You're a great tutor! I love the theoretical intro to the problem before the actual coding. Waiting for more!

[sunnycheng]

This is the most useful unity tutorial I've ever seen, can't wait for E02.

[Fjordy]

Best tutorial I have watched about First person controls. Keep'em coming!

[katkos.studio]

Dude, the effort you put into explaining this is amazing.

[CCV]

Wish this series continued. Loved the animations and breakdown of the process. One of the best tutorials on character controllers I've seen!

[goncharov]

i love that you included animations with your explanations, its so much easier to understand how things work when there are visuals! thank you for that!

[jehriko]

Thank you for not moving too fast and giving nice descriptive animations and graphics of each thing you're programming so it's actually able to be learned and not just copied!

[maximus]

This tutorial is actually incredible, I loved how you went into depth about each part of the code and how it works in a clear and concise manner. Not many YouTubers get that right, props to you.

[pacocastaneda]

This has been the best video I've seen about this, can't wait for episode 2

[asvalias]

Well done! Love these tutorials.

You're good at explaining things and also showing us how it works by visualization.

[Nlduncan]

This is one of the best unity programming tutorials I've watched, even explains the "faster diagonal movement" phenomenon. Really hope you come back to make more videos like this

[dawid]

This is the best tutorial I've ever seen! Subscribed!
Never meet that amount of explanation! Finally I know why I'm doing what I'm doing! Keep that tutorials coming!

[johoward]

Man, this tutorial is pure gold. You take your time to explain every concept in such a clear way, yet the tutorial is surprisingly short. I wish you had thousands of videos like this! Thanks for your help.
