Perfect tutorials, concise infos right on the point.
Wish I found this channel earlier, could have saved so much time!

These tutorials are so good, thanks so much for the nice work!

If you have a first-person camera and want your player to move where the camera is facing, change the movementDirection equation. Using transform, allows us to take the direction the player is facing and move in a direction, whereas creating a new Vector3 would move along the game's x and z axis. Ex:

Vector3 movementDirection = transform.right * horizontalInput + transform.forward * verticalInput;

Please correct me if I am wrong about anything, I am learning too!

You're a real lifesaver! I appreciate it, thank you very much!

Commenting so you get additional visibility. Amazing tutorials for beginners

Hi..this is a great tutorial.. help me a lot!

[charliedaloon]

This is a great tutorial, helped me out a lot! Only thing I'm slightly confused on is that your character seems to obey gravity by default, while mine reaches the top of the ramp/stairs and then hovers there if I try to move back down the ramp.

Great work!

Great tutorial, but I think you forgot to explicitly mention that you changed the script of your last video, because now "speed" is multiplied with the mathf in line 20, which wasn't shown in the previous video of the series.

Хоть я ин знаю английский язык, но видос до такой степени понятный что я все повторил и у меня получилось.
Девушка спасибо за труд в создании урока 🔥
Дальше в том же духе!

been following your tutorials and they're rlly good..but right now im having a problem with magnitude in the script...it says tht "the name magnitude doesnt exist in the current in the current context and I rlly dont know how to fix that :') any help?

Hi, Ketra. If I want to make an isometric movement how can i do it with character controller? I know i need to change the directions left, right, up and down but i dont know how to do it. Can you please help?

[steeltm]

Great tutorial, thank you very much!
The only problem I have is when I try to go down the slope the character starts to bounce a little. How can I fix this?

I have a problem: When I use SimpleMove, the gravity is fine, the player can rotate but they can't move.

When I use Move, the player can move and rotate freely but isn't affected by Gravity. How can I fix this?

[joejutsu]

i liked the movement of the transform.Translate better. is there a way to keep that movement and add jumping and so on?

[Tukyo]

Hey, Ketra! Why do you call the charactercontroller from the start method and not the awake method?

[bupyvn]

Hi, Thank you so much for your clip. It's helpful. Could I ask a question? When I use * magnitude);" the character seems to fall from the top and disappear, the y value jumps continuously at negative. How should I solve it?

[flitz]

Hey im not sure whats going on but my characters speed isnt at what i set it at? how do i fix this

[aleksandraaleksandra]

As always, a wonderful tutorial. I'm already on and my player is jumping :) You explain everything great, you are a great teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
One thing makes me sad. After adding a character controller, my player moves very slowly, as if there is friction between him and the terrain. I reduced gravity to 1, increased speed but still moves like a grandpa with a walking frame👴 (I love grandpas with a walking frame, but this game should be faster 🙂)

[zenzren]

does CharacterController have Gravity like RigidBody ?

[thuluong]

When I import the Character Controller to my character, it makes my character move slowly down
