Third Person Character Controller Setup in Unity

I show you how to use the third person controller from the standard assets of Unity and setup this to work within your scene with very little effort! This is still available on the Unity Asset store in 2023 but you can also check out my new tutorial here about third person controllers:

Oh, wow... somebody who actually adjusts their mic volume to an appropriate level before recording a tutorial!  Same volume as the ads!  Good work.

This helped me much! I just spent over an hour looking at tutorials on how to add a camera to follow a player with all this complicated script. You just simplified this in a way that I can actually understand! Your tutorials are so helpful. Keep them up--they are helping me impress my PhD supervisors ;)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Never scale characters in the way shown here - you're immediately changing the rules of how physics will apply in your game, you should stick with the specific scale of a character and design your environments as appropriate. This is why some beginners ask why physics appears to move slowly - because they've scaled things way bigger as they didn't look accurate on screen. A cube in Unity is 1 metre (or 1 unit) and can act as a measure - as such characters like this will be as expected - around 1.7m tall, so scaling your character up or down will change how much they move over time, so as a rule, stick to sensible measurements for things! Sorry for the negative sounding comment, just wanna make sure people aren't caught out! thanks for making the tutorial.

Nice. I am keeping this in mind. Also, thanks for all of you're tutorials. I now know a bit of unityscript. I made my own magic script, my own sprint script, ECT. It couldn't happen without you and Brackeys. you guys are awesome. Live long, happy, and healthy.

I've been struggling a lot with creating a custom 3rd person controller on unity 5. And I don't like the one they have set up on unity 5 as a default. I've been trying to make one where the guy rotates with the mouse and moves and strafes with wasd, crouches and jumps. I've been ripping my hair out trying to figure out how to be able to make a 3rd person shooter game because those are pretty rare nowadays and i think they're pretty unique and it gives a fresh new feel compared to the loads of fps games out there. So if you had the time could you do a series on making a custom third person shooter?

This is a clear and fantastic tutorial! I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH!

[xxxdestroyerxxx]

[CognitiveStudios]

[herohunter]

[gigafur]

Yo you saved my ass on this project for school im wokring on thanks man

[jeangaspard]

thank you alot this is just what I was looking for

[hendoagogo]

Thanks for your great tutorials.    Is there any chance you could look at the script to see why when you press the backwards arrow or the S key the camera just vibrates wildly.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[sketcherskt]

can you show us how to make a patrolling npc as "DJPrison" suggested?

[mikhailkonstantin]

any way to change the turn (to use the mouse instead of A-D) and how to change the model ?

[JimDragonBass]

Is it possible to control the camera of the controller with the mouse like watch dogs or GTA v ?

[HanGz]

I really apreciate the tutorials im subbed and like but my request is if you could do a tutorial about how did you do that terrain and how todo set a weapon and shoot .thank you so much And keep it up :)

[floofdwagon]

It's a nice tutorial, but it would have been nice to actually show us how to switch out the mesh, as that is the part I'm having trouble with.

[robertomorales]

Hey bro this is just total curiosity but will you make your game work with the oculus rift that would be badass and mabey you can do so vids on how to do it thankd
