I have been working on an update to my game. I want to add a Third Person Character Controller. I have the basic Third Person Character Controller and a basic script that works with the Animator Controller to change the state to "isWalking" when the player presses the 'W' key. Here is the code so far:
animationStateController.cs |
using UnityEngine; public class animationStateController : MonoBehaviour { Animator animator; // References the Animator component. int isWalkingHash; // Variable for the simplification of the 'If' statements in void update. int isRunningHash; // Variable for the simplification of the 'If' statements in void update. // Start is called before the first frame update void Start() { animator = GetComponent<Animator>(); // Get's the animator component from the attached character. isWalkingHash = Animator.StringToHash("isWalking"); // Converts the string "isWalking" (the name of the bool in the Animator Controller) to a simpler data type. isRunningHash = Animator.StringToHash("isRunning"); // Converts the string "isRunning" (the name of the bool in the Animator Controller) to a simpler data type. } // Update is called once per frame void Update() { bool forwardPressed = Input.GetKey("w"); // Set's the bool "forwardPressed" to equal the "W" key. bool runPressed = Input.GetKey("left shift"); // Set's the bool "runPressed" to equal the "Left Shift" key. bool isWalking = animator.GetBool(isWalkingHash); // Set's the bool "isWalking" to equal the "isWalkingHash" integer. bool isRunning = animator.GetBool(isRunningHash); // Set's the bool "isRunning" to equal the "isRunningHash" integer. // If the player is not walking and the 'W' key is pressed then: if (!isWalking && forwardPressed) { // Set the "isWalking" bool to true. animator.SetBool(isWalkingHash, true); } // If the player is walking and the 'W' key is not pressed then: if (isWalking && !forwardPressed) { // Set the "isWalking" bool to false. animator.SetBool(isWalkingHash, false); } // If the player is not running and the 'W' and the 'Left Shift' keys are pressed then: if (!isRunning && (forwardPressed && runPressed)) { // Set the "isRunning" bool to true. animator.SetBool(isRunningHash, true); } // If the player is running and the 'W' and the 'Left Shift' keys are not pressed then: if (isRunning && (!forwardPressed || !runPressed)) { // Set the "isRunning" bool to false. animator.SetBool(isRunningHash, false); } } } My question is how would I use the 'W', 'A', 'S', and 'D' keys to control the books "isWalking" all at once? Like I can move forward walking and yes that is good, but I have a ThirdPersonCamera and Control script. Here is the ThirdPersonControl script below, it only covers the movement of the player using the keyboard. Camera movement is done with Cinemachine:
ThirdPersonMovement.cs |
using UnityEngine; public class ThirdPersonMovement : MonoBehaviour { /// <summary> /// controller - The reference to the Character Controller component attached to the "ThirdPersonController" Game Object. /// cam - References the Main Camera. /// speed - The walking speed of the player. /// runSpeed - The running speed of the player. /// turnSmoothTime - The time it takes to smooth the player rotation. /// turnSmoothVelocity - The smoothing velocity for the Atan2 used later. /// </summary> public CharacterController controller; public Transform cam; public float speed = 4f; public float runSpeed = 8f; public float turnSmoothTime = 0.1f; float turnSmoothVelocity; // Update is called once per frame void Update() { /// <summary> /// horizontalInput get's the Raw Horizontal Input, this way we don't get any type of input smoothing. /// verticalInput get's the Raw Vertical Input, this way we don't get input smoothing. /// heading Is the direction the player will move in, basically. /// </summary> float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"); float verticalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"); Vector3 heading = new Vector3(horizontalInput, 0f, verticalInput).normalized; /// <summary> /// Below are two bools for determining whether or not the player is walking or is running. /// </summary> bool isWalking = Input.GetKey("w"); bool isRunning = Input.GetKey("left shift"); // If the direction of the player has a value greater than or equal to 0.1f then: if (heading.magnitude >= 0.1f) { /// <summary> /// Returns the arc tangent of the values assigned to 'X' and 'Y'. This will equal the float variable "targetAngle". /// Mathf.Rad2Deg converts the radians (the number given by the previous equation) to degrees. /// </summary> float targetAngle = Mathf.Atan2(heading.x, heading.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg + cam.eulerAngles.y; // Assigns the values and calculates smoothing. float angle = Mathf.SmoothDampAngle(transform.eulerAngles.y, targetAngle, ref turnSmoothVelocity, turnSmoothTime); // Calculates the rotation of the player than assigns the value to the players Transform Rotation. transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, angle, 0f); // Assigns moveDir the information needed to make the player move in the cameras orientation. Vector3 moveDir = Quaternion.Euler(0f, targetAngle, 0f) * Vector3.forward; // Move the "controller" towards the heading multiplied by speed multiplied by Time.deltaTime;. Time.deltaTime makes the movement frame rate independent. controller.Move(moveDir.normalized * speed * Time.deltaTime); // If both bools are true then: if (isRunning && isWalking) { // Increase the speed to equal the 'runSpeed' variable. controller.Move(moveDir.normalized * runSpeed * Time.deltaTime); } } } } The above video demonstrates the problem. I can walk perfectly fine forward, but if I try and walk left, right, or backward I get nothing. I tried multiple things previously. None of which worked. Here is what I have tried:
- I tried changing the 'If' statement on line 26 to say
if (!isWalking && (forwardPressed || leftPressed || rightPressed || backwardPressed)) {added the extra variables as well, but the result I received was the animator controller switching quickly between Idle and Walk. I also added to line 32 respectively. - I searched for tutorials, all of which (that I found) only dealt with singular animations such as how to go from idle to crouch.
I wish I could remember exactly what else I have tried, but I can't remember that. Any help with this would be gladly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am still fairly new to Unity and Programming so forgive me please if I overlook something.
