This tutorial is a lifesaver for aspiring game developers like me! 🙌🕹 Creating a first-person shooter (FPS) controller from scratch can be daunting, but your step-by-step guide makes it seem much more manageable. You've explained everything, from movement to footstep sounds and jumping mechanics, which is amazingly understandable and easy to follow. I especially appreciate the attention to detail and the practical tips you've shared throughout the video. You're not just showing us how to make a first-person shooter (FPS) controller but also teaching us best practices and optimization techniques. I can't wait to implement this in my own Unity project. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and making game development more accessible! 🚀🎮
Thanks for coming to watch and give me your opinion, my friend! :) I try my best to lay it all out to make it easy to refer to and go back and learn things. Especially if you don't need the extra features. Are you working on anything at the moment?

Great video, One thing to address would be diagonal movement having a different velocity. Pressing 2 movements keys at once, [W] & [D] for example results in our character moving slightly faster than just pressing forward. There should be a step in there to normalize the input values before we apply the speed multiplier.
Oh that's a very fair point, thanks for pointing that out! I hope others will see this and take it into account. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and respond! :D
If anyone is curious here's how I corrected the diagonal movement going faster than intended. void HandleMovement() { float speedMultiplier = Input.GetKey(sprintKey) ? sprintMultiplier : 1f; // Use Input.GetAxisRaw or the character will keep moving a few frames after button release. Vector3 horizontalMovement = new Vector3(Input.GetAxisRaw(horizontalMoveInput), 0, Input.GetAxisRaw(verticalMoveInput)).normalized; horizontalMovement = transform.rotation * horizontalMovement;
characterController.Move(currentMovement * Time.deltaTime); } The important part is normalizing the input values before applying the speed multiplies. also you need to use "Input.GetAxisRaw" or the character will keep moving a few frames after button release. hope this helps. Cheers
@@SamNBCA Using raw makes movement more responsive but choppy. The trade off may not be worth it but this is highly dependent on your use case. Please bear this in mind for anyone who is going to use this fix. Just remove the Raw keyword if you want the fluidity back.
@@Gurem I think just removing the Raw key word will not bring back the fluidity of the input. I tested it and the character still moves a bit longer than usual. His workaround fixed the normalizing issue which is important but the movement halt asap as the key is release. I found another workaround by just adjusting some settings on the input settings and the feel of using Input.GetAxis feels the same just my experience. The sweet spot for my gravity is 7 and 3 for sensitivity both horizontal/vertical. Here is the forum where I base my workaround. discussions.unity.com/t/character-keeps-moving-a-moment-after-i-release-input-keys/132547/2
@@SpeedTutor i'm working on my project for college. we were poorly explained about the new input system, and there were no records or alternative sources.
Thanks for this tutorial! it helped me alot! I actually found a bug in the beggining of the video where you multiply each axis by the speed and multiplier but this creates a situation where when walking diagonally the speed is increased The solution i found was to create a direction vector from the inputs and then multiply the normalized vector by the speed float
Yes, you're exactly right! I did create a new version like this for the newer input system and I did fix that issue as I recall. Thanks for the thoughts though! :)
Hi, loving the tutorial, but im getting an error at 9.35 saying NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object fpsController.HandleRotation () (at Assets/Scripts/playerController.cs:60) fpsController.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/playerController.cs:36)
Need tutorial on how to fix Character Controller bugs: with slopes (bouncing and changing speed). Not only with perfect collider rectangles, but on surfaces with roughness (MeshCollider or multiple colliders), since on them the collider normal moves the character along itself, changing its movement. Stuck on edges and inclined surfaces when the collider tilt angle limit is exceeded. A character controller can loop with the collider on any inclined surface (even 89 degrees) and get stuck or jump from it. There are many tutors, where these problems are solved separately, but there is no one where they are all solved together. The solution of one problem affects another and breaks it.
I think the CharacterController does take slopes into account by default without any extra ground work. As per the slope amount in the CharacterController. :) I'm not 100% though.
it was to do with currentMovement.y in the handle gravity block. I dont know why but replacing the -0.5f with -1f instead seemed to do the job.@@SpeedTutor
Would anyone have a solution to the little "sliding" I want it to stop immediately when I let go and not move for a short time after I release the button?
Diztel magic has a fantastic tutorial already that uses unitys input system and their fps controller Once you understand how to use it and how it works you can apply it to anyone's controller for mobile.

Love your tuts! Your voice and accent are great ;)
Thanks David, I really appreciate it my friend! :)
Thanks!
You're very welcome and I appreciate the kind thanks! :) How did you find me?
Wonderful tutorial Matt, I have been looking for something like this ever since I started with Unity game development when I was 11(Currently 14).
It's amazing that you're here and learning! Thanks for coming to watch, my friend! :)

HandleGravityAndJumping();
currentMovement.x = horizontalMovement.x * walkspeed * speedMultiplier;

@@SamNBCA This is another way to do without using axis raw
void HandleMovement()
{
float speedMultiplier = Input.GetKey(sprintKey) ? sprintMultiplier : 1f;
float verticalInput = Input.GetAxis(verticalMoveInput);
float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis(horizontalMoveInput);
Vector3 movementInput = new Vector3(horizontalInput, 0, verticalInput);
if (movementInput.magnitude > 1)
{
movementInput.Normalize();
}
Vector3 movement = movementInput * walkSpeed * speedMultiplier;
movement = transform.rotation * movement;
HandleGravityAndJumping();
currentMovement.x = movement.x;
currentMovement.z = movement.z;
characterController.Move(currentMovement * Time.deltaTime);
}

Thanks very much for the suggestions, I'll see what I can do! :)
sorry, I can not understand about speed = transform.rotation* speed in 5:52. i comment this line. it looks object's moving well.
Awesome, I'm glad its up and running :)
Good video, can it be used to handle slopes?
I think the CharacterController does take slopes into account by default without any extra ground work. As per the slope amount in the CharacterController. :) I'm not 100% though.
Great tutorial! I dont know if I mis-typed some code, but my character when standing still is unable to jump, do you know how I'd fix that?
I'm not sure without seeing some of the code, did you put the jumping method in the correct place?
it was to do with currentMovement.y in the handle gravity block. I dont know why but replacing the -0.5f with -1f instead seemed to do the job.@@SpeedTutor
Would anyone have a solution to the little "sliding" I want it to stop immediately when I let go and not move for a short time after I release the button?
If you haven't done already, could you make a 3rd person controller also? Clean and clear tutorial again, thanks
I actually have a couple of tutorials in my description about that actually! :)
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks man! :)
what happen if its the same like person and a vehicle? or will i have to rewrite script but reducing certain things?
I'm not sure what you're asking?
@@SpeedTutorhaving different character types for this script to work with
Landing sound after jumping... neeed
My character just flies up when jumping my script is exactly the same any ideas
Do you have a rigidbody on your character?
Can you make a tutorial for movement by touch input and virtual joystick 🕹
Diztel magic has a fantastic tutorial already that uses unitys input system and their fps controller
Once you understand how to use it and how it works you can apply it to anyone's controller for mobile.
That's pretty cool, I always recommend Rewired because it does it all without issue :)
How do I create the sample scene
You can get that free on my website or my Unity store page :)
it was 2024, and the dude is still using the crooked old system
I have a video in the description where I convert this for the new input system too. I just know people use both. :)
Please record a video on using the cinema machine and new input for the player, there are very few such videos@@SpeedTutor
