Mission briefing
In this project, we will start by setting up the animation clip from the imported FBX model
with animation (walk, run, jump, and fall), which is created using other 3D software, such
as 3D Studio Max, Maya, Blender3D. Then, we will create
Animator Controller
and set
up the Mecanim animation system using the
Animator
view.
Next, we will add
Character Controller
, instead of the Physics component,
Rigidbody
.
Character Controller
will give us the ability to access collision detection as well as the
Move()
function, which is very easy to use.
Note
We will use the
Move()
function to move our character while playing the animation. This
function can be accessed from the
CharacterController
class when we add the
Character Controller
component to our game object. The
Move()
function will return
CollisionFlags bitmask
, which will tell us which part of our character hits other
collider objects.
Then, we will create the third-person character controller script to control our character's
walk, run, and jump by using the
Move()
function in the
Character Controller
class. In this step, we will also create the
OnAnimatorMove()
function to tell Mecanim
to play the correct animation clip. Next, we will create the camera script to follow our char-
acter. We will then attach the script to our character and make it move on the level.
