Unity 3D Best first-person character controller script?

February 3, 2015

I'm messing with unity and I basically just want to make a game where I can import all my blender crap and just build cool stuff as I go with blender. Anyone know a good FP controller script? The stock one sucks, its really buggy on uneven surfaces

I'm a bit also confused with your question. If you're making it for pc/linux/mac/web player you can easily build the controller script using the free stuff included in unity(assuming you have a decent amount of knowledge/experience in c#, js etc). If it were for mobile use your question would make sense since creating your own virtual controls is a real hassle and the already existing assets paid or free have their own pros and cons.

You're probably better off learning how to code your own movement script since it will be tailored to your specific needs. Its not all that difficult since a lot of the grunt work is provided by the engine. All you just have to do is a little bit of math to tell the engine how that object is supposed to move. Then the rest is just positioning the camera and setting an appropriate collider within a prefab which the script is attached to.

Its for pc, I think I'll just make my own. I know very little. of C# or Javascript. Which should I learn for this purpose? Which is easier?

Thanks, I think I'll try to make my own.
