Basic Third Person Character Controller in Unity - Unity C# Tutorial 2022

In this Unity tutorial, I teach you guys how to make a basic third person character controller in Unity using the C# programming language. This character controller allows you to jog (forward and back), sprint, and rotate around for basic player movement. I also show a few easy camera methods as well.

public float w_speed, wb_speed, olw_speed, rn_speed, ro_speed;
public bool walking;
public Transform playerTrans;


void FixedUpdate(){

playerRigid.velocity = transform.forward * w_speed * Time.deltaTime;
}

playerRigid.velocity = -transform.forward * wb_speed * Time.deltaTime;
}
}
void Update(){



walking = true;
//steps1.SetActive(true);
}



walking = false;

}



//steps1.SetActive(true);
}




}

playerTrans.Rotate(0, -ro_speed * Time.deltaTime, 0);
}

playerTrans.Rotate(0, ro_speed * Time.deltaTime, 0);

Good straightforward tutorial man. THank goodness. Also uploading the script in a comment like a champ!

[nucearant]

I just started leaning Unity and I did understand everything. Thanxxx

[FarmBoyTech]

Man, I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this video. I can't thank you enough for what you did.

[abdulakhkurbanov]

Just made my first 3d animated character thanks to this video, there are some improvements to make but this will do for now.

[MikaelL]

Thanks to you I succeeded to animate and control my Character🙂

At 10:53 in the video when discussing the sprinting, I use "=!" As an "equal to" symbol when in reverse it actually means "doesn't equal to", I should've used "==", just wanted to correct myself there lol. This mistake has nothing to do with the code, just the text in the video I was using to explain what to do.

[Black_Jay_LBS]

This was the most helpful video I ever watch🤩, Thank you so much!

[EmporioRemix]

Thank you very much for your tutorial with which I learned better about animations in Unity.

[BlinkersGameDev]

Hated the cinemachine Controller, It was weird. Thanks for your tutorial

[mamtapatil]

my character is not stopping. Please tell me the solution for this and also my character in moving on plane surface but on terrain (i mean on little bit distorted surface ) it is not walking properly

[abdullabutt]

This Helped me alot, but is there any alternative for update function?

[ProGamingg]

i have a question, when i press W or S my player run forward or backwards and thats good but when i release one of that keys my camera and player dont stop but keeps going forward or backwards in idle modus. Can you help me?

[rosariocascone]

sorry for the question, but how can i add animated jump? thank you.

[mk_]

I know I am late, but I think making a halo fan game would be something really 👍

[Yourtourguidetoearth]

Can you please make an updated version with jump and non tank controls plz i cant figure it out

[SolaFideSolusChristus]

Hey, can you please tell me about how to add an animation that plays when you press a or d? I have set up the a and d movement and a different camera movement style, and I have a trigger for the animation in the controller, but when I reset Idle in the script and set the sideways animation it just does a tpose. I even connected the sideways animation with every other animation in the controller, please help!

[laylaleaks]

Any ideas on how to rotate the camera? With the mouse?

[miaiiiaiom]

Hi! I implemented this in my own game but the character's collision with the terrain isn't working too good. Sometimes it gets stuck in it if it's trying to go upwards, then when i got down, it floats. What can I do to fix this?

[robro]

The animations make it so he only runs on the spot and is stay still, instead of running the whole thing. How do I fix please?
