@@TheKiwiCoder Help!!! My Character Controller is having issue with isGrounded, The character is on the ground but still it is Debugging isGrounded (False).
Hi Kiwi. AWESOME tutorial! Info on animated Character Controllers with root motion is so sparse, this really helped! I previously stuck with Rigidbody + root motion implementation and my own code for step-offset and sphercast-check for isGrounded. But it was still very clunky and constantly had issues. With your video, I was finally able to revert back to Character Controller. Thanks so much!
Anyone using Unity's "Auto Cam" from Standard Assets to follow his Character, and having jerky movement: You need to set Auto Cam's cycle to "Late Update" and in this code, instead of "FixedUpdate" as shown by Kiwi, rename it to "LateUpdate" (everything else exactly the same). Then you can leave Animator to "Normal" and have smooth Character animations (while moving) again.

plz help it stutters even tho im in Normal mode in the animator! and when i go into animate Physics it dosnt stutter anymore but i cant use my other animations anymore like swap
I followed the steps through, everything seems to be working. But the jump animation keeps being played when the character isn’t jumping, in the animator it’s spamming back and forth from the walking state to the jumping state transitions. Could it be that the jump animation I’m using? Because it’s just pose and not an animation.
sir can you make wall running just like the flash do plz sir can you make a tutorial on this i mean character controller wall running or wall climbing plz
check that you cache CharacterController into your variable at start and that it is found before you call Move() on it. Maybe put in a Debug.Log, or make the field public temporarily, so you can see if it works.
Really good series. I have come across an issue, when using root motion. I have it so that the character rotates in direction pressed, and rotates in direction camera is facing. When applying the root motion as you have the character no longer wants to rotate(camera facing rotation still works.) It works without rootmotion. Any ideas on what i can do?
@@TheKiwiCoder Hi thanks for the response. No that was the issue, the rotation was done via code. I imported animation to blender and rotated then exported and it was working after. I miss understood how exactly root motion works.
@@TheKiwiCoder I found the most reliable network solution on the internet is a custom dedicated server by Tom Weiland. he is currently making pirate-themed multiplayer games. he made a networking tutorial series, within part 4 he completed almost all the core of C# networking. if u both collaborate and help us show how to implement his network solution to a third-person shooter game this would be awesome! his channel link: ruclips.net/channel/UCa-mDKzV5MW_BXjSDRqqHUw
you can also go with PUN 2 or mirror but I don't think so this is good option if we plan to release our game. PUN only support 20 (maybe ) CCU for free.
The Creativity Thanks for the info I’ll check it out. I have some experience using forge, mirror sounds interesting too. 20ccu isn’t really going to help anyone..
@@TheKiwiCoder I was actually able to get networking done with mirror...bit of work... but all working with authoritative movement and fire/aim and client side prediction
@@TheKiwiCoder Yeah I just though it would be cool if you could go up against a wall, crouch behind it, peak out and maybe peak over and come back into couver
Hello, if it's possible could you please help me to understand the reason for your jerky char movement problem. Your root animator controller update mode was normal, riglayer controller was also at the same mode. so is it because of the CharacterController component of unity that we have to use motion codes in fixed update () ? and its not match with rootmotion moves? Kind Regards
Hey, i'm doing a game with similar movement than yours, the basic movementation is basically the same (walk, jump, gravity calculation, etc), but i have a hookshot mecanic that use Vector3.MoveTowards do make the player go to the position i shoot, and sometimes when i use it and cancel the path in middle air the player falls really fast, can you tell me in which part of the script i can solve this problem? I'm not that good with physics yet and i'm struggling a little, but i suppose this is something in the velocity.y;
Hey, it could be the step down part, that should only be run when the player is grounded. Or perhaps the velocity.y needs to be reset to zero when you cancel.
@@TheKiwiCoder Sorry for the late answer, i made a pause in the development but now i'm getting back with the programming. I changed the hookshot movement to the CharacterController.Move, but still had no luck changing the code, i was pretty sure that the problem was in the velocity.y but i tried reseting in every part of the code and the character still fall too fast, i'll try again in the next days, i hope i'm not being so dumb xD I need to make a deep study about how to deal with Physics, thats the first time i use rootMotion to move my Character. And thanks for the response :D
Thank you so much! Helped me out alot. I was switching from a rigidbody to a CharacterController in order to climb stairs. Since you included jumping in this video, my character is now finally able to properly jump too :D
@TheKiwiCoder Excellent! I started at one a couple of days back and finished this today. I am super impressed you amazingly salvaged the standard Unity Character Controller. I am confident I can use it as well now ^_^b Btw when it comes to colliding with boxes and stuff, I would recommend using a rigidbody with Is Kinematic set to true. I think this allows you to interact with boxes and stuff like normal rigid bodies would except a few things like drag and gravity will not work. So combining the two sounds like a nicer way to do it. Very usecase dependent scenario though. I love what you've done here mate. Thanks! I really appreciate the fact that you're teaching people to do things the vanilla way without having to jump into buying third party assets.
Thanks for the tips! I will give that a try. Yep I’m trying to show how everything can be done from scratch. I find it helps to understand third party assets too :)
Wow!! I just did finish your 1-10 series yesterday, then saw this pop up today! It's exactly what I was looking for next, thank you! Really appreciate the time you've put into these tutorials. I've been working in Unity about 1 year, but focused on 2D until now. I have a fairly strong background in coding, but all the rigging knowledge that 3D requires created a huge barrier. I'm not even trying to make an FPS game, but this series helped me learn so much. Thank you again!
Hello, how are you? I'm writing to you from Argentina, I'm new to unity, I'll tell you, I'm making a 2D game, the character walks, runs and what I want to do, it's something similar to what you do in this video, that while walking, turn on A flashlight, that is to say that only the arms are encouraged while walking, this is possible, as someone who is walking and without stopping to walk, turn on the flashlight and encourage his arms without stopping walking. I would really appreciate if you can guide me a bit. From already thank you very much! Excellent game you are developing! Cheers!
Video suggestion: Sword swings using the animation rigging package, for example the sword first swings towards the last mouse direction and then goes towards the center of the screen. Do you think it's possible?
Kia ora bro, good to see a kiwi developer, Im trying to develop a simple game and have been using unity, very complex, are you able to help, the game i want to develop has not been done yet is a very popular activity.
I jut moved the Cinemachine brain on the main camera blend update method to Late Update. The Character Animator was left at Normal update. No jittering.
@@TheKiwiCoder Actually I found out it was because I added a layee in the animator with nothing and it has a default weight of 0. For some reason it overwrited the other layer ^^
This might be covered in another video, but if you want the decals to stay on the object they hit, change your hitEffect code like so: hitEffect.transform.SetParent(hitInfo.collider.transform); hitEffect.transform.localPosition = hitInfo.collider.transform.InverseTransformPoint(hitInfo.point); hitEffect.transform.forward = hitInfo.normal; hitEffect.Emit(1); And then make sure the Simulation Space for the Decal's Particle System is set to 'local'
@@TheKiwiCoder I'm not, but I could be doing it wrong 🤔 hitEffect.transform.SetParent(hitInfo.collider.transform); hitEffect.transform.localPosition = hitInfo.collider.transform.InverseTransformPoint(hitInfo.point); hitEffect.transform.forward = hitInfo.normal; hitEffect.Emit(1);
What if you were to keep using the Rigidbody instead of Character Controller since I personally like the physics, present in the rigidbody, more. I tried changing the lines from character controller like: cc.Move(stepForwardAmount + stepDownAmount) to rigidbody.velocity = stepForwardAmount + stepDownAmount but it didn't work.
@TheKiwiCoder, just dropping you a note to say "thanks" 3-years after you posted this. I recently moved over to using root motion (as I have some pretty good animation assets (thanks Explosive)), and while I understood the core concepts of using root motion and a CharacterController, something about the way that you explained it cleared up a lot of fuzz for me, so I felt that I should drop you an appreciation comment.🖖
Hi there, thanks again for the video. It doesn't look like you're having problems with CharacterController.isGrounded, but I'm having loads of issues with it. Whenever my player is walking down any kind of hill, isGrounded goes to "false" even with gravity applied, and with Min Move Distance set to 0. Have you switched to a different way of detecting if your character is grounded? Or is the built in function still working fine for you?
Yep I'm still using this approach. Haven't made any significant changes there. Double check 'Min Move Distance' is set to 0 on the character controller component. And make sure to read the 'isGrounded' value immediately after calling cc.Move, as that's the only time it's truly valid.
