20. Unity Tutorial, Improved Controls - Create a Survival Game

In this video we take a look at optimizing the Character Control Script to have a more snappy feeling. We also implement fall damage, sliding, sprinting and crouching!
This is the 20th video in "Create a Survival Game", a series on making a cool survival type game in Unity 4. We hope to cover as many parts of Unity as we can, especially the fun ones.
Difficulty of lesson: Beginner.

Thank you for the kind videos! That's a matter of preference and you are welcome to choose what you want. Just make sure to create colliders around the mountains of your scene so that the Player can't crawl out of the scene! :)

[Brackeys]

Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad you figured it out! Keep on learning :)

Man dont stop making these tutorials, this is hands down the best game development series on the internet, its easy to understand and covers everything! most tutorials mess around with mesh and colliders for the first 50 videos and then stop making them because nobody watches them anymore, also i love that you use javascript instead of C#, for a noob in game dev and scripting this is the best i can ask for! Thanks for all the tutorials so far!

[Brackeys]

Thank you for the kind words and well done figuring out to use the RigidBody controls in that case :)

[Brackeys]

Glad you like the series! As for code handling I would use Mono Develop which comes with Unity or Notepad++ which is awesome too. To choose a modeling program, watch our video "Best Modeling Software for Unity" :)

[Brackeys]

Glad you like the series! I might do something in the future though I can't say when. I'll add it to the list! :)

[Brackeys]

Glad you like it! In a later video we are going to cover character customization like health, stamina, name and such. I don't know if we will have different races and classes yet :)

[Brackeys]

I don't know if we are going to implement a fleeing mechanic but we are definitely going to add some blood and such in the future :)

[Brackeys]

Those are both subjects we are going to cover in the future :)

[Brackeys]

This comment made me very happy! Thank you so much for the kind words, they are awesome :D

[Brackeys]

I definitely agree! Notepad++ is also really awesome for scripting :)

[Brackeys]

We are working really hard on that at the moment :) Try downloading the assets again, the box about the technical difficulty is just for informational purposes and so I would try downloading anyway :)

[Brackeys]

Not at the moment but at some point I will probably start a new one :) Unity is fun so get started with these videos instead!!! I look forward to seing what you come up with :)

[Brackeys]

Hmm, I've actually never thought about that. I'll add it to the list :)

Best tutorials for game development- Brackeys!

I've been watching all of your tutorials, so far, and you explain things really well! But honestly, I prefer the non-slide physics. I've been making games in Blender for a while, and it always annoyed me how slippery everything was. Finally with Unity, I do no longer have to worry about this sliding. Still, great video!

[Brackeys]

Both the advanced and simple versions of the enemy AI script is error free. You must have done something wrong in the process or the errors are not generated by the code :)

[JasperCousins]

Thanks although I have moved on to a ridged body player now because in the game i'm trying to make want it to be able to react with other moving objects.

is right you have done the best unity tutorials i've seen.

[Brackeys]

Hmmm, that sounds weird to me. Have you attached it to the Player? :)

[adrianmarti]

Surprisingly, I didn't even need that. I'm using the standard FPS walking asset, and it's impossible to walk up the steeper walls, just the way it should be. Maybe my asset is imported from a newer version, than the one you used. Either way, you're a great teacher, and I can't wait for the next chapter.
