Amazing video and helped me understand how the new input system works, but i'm having some issues with my player character constantly going up in the air. I can move around and turn but it seems like he is constantly jumping up into the sky. what could be the issue?
@@OneWheelStudio well, I saw it and already made the change but that still makes the character float upwards constantly. I even tried copy paste the one from your github, but it still has the issue.
@@OneWheelStudio nevermind, I found out what the issue was. the issue was that I had the capsule collider as a trigger. which for some reason made it the character go up into the air.
For anyone using Unity version 2021.2.4f1 or higher, in order to select "Add 2D Vector Composite", you need to change the Action Type to "Value" and the Control Type to "Vector 2" in the Action Properties, then you can press the plus sign and it will be called "Add Up/Down/Left/Right Composite".
For anyone not finding creating "input actions", you need to install the input system from your package manager before the first step in this tutorial.

Wait, doesn't the current melee code let player spam attack? Animation will play fine but if we were to put damage mechanic, player would be able to do damage several times during animation just by pressing attack constantly.
Not exactly, but the solution shown also isn't pefect. As shown the player can press the button once and the animation will run and if they press the button again the trigger will get set and when the melee animation finishes it will immediately play again. To resolve this you could check the which animation is playing. You could also dive in to Animation State Behaviors which allow really good control/knowlege of the animation state.

This is very cool. Would you please do a tutorial to show how to combine melee animation with the third person from the starter assets? The code seems to be different. Thanks for this video! :)
No, not really. But I think you can combine Mixamo animations and the starter assets. So you could parent a sword to the hand? But I'm not sure about this.
@@juliaalder2007 If you find anything on that then please tell here. And also in this tutorial when I press the W key , the player directly runs from idle when he should just walk. Can you tell how to fix it?
Why do we only multiply the jump descent by Time.fixedDeltaTime isn't everything in FixedUpdate frame rate independent? Also, curious why you choose not to use a CharacterController?
For anyone who couldn't get the jumping to work , modify your isGrounded function as follows , and create a layer of your choosing and give it to the object you're using as floor , and it should work private bool IsGrounded() { float rayLength = 0.3f; Ray ray = new Ray(transform.position + Vector3.up * 0.1f, Vector3.down); int layerMask = LayerMask.GetMask("INSERT LAYER NAME HERE"); if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out RaycastHit hit, rayLength, layerMask)) { return true; } else { return false; } }
One point to square roots calculation in general. This isn't slower anymore most compiler these day can do it in 1 cpu clock cycle. It cant get any faster then this. :)
Hey @One Wheel Studio I dont know how to get when the mouse button down for example, could you help me, because I need set an animation for an action that need hold the button down
Hey! Thank you for the video, it's been really helpful. How would you go about smoothing out the character rotation in this code? Look rotation is giving me very snappy results.
I haven't played with that myself, but you could add a scaling processer to the binding. It will give you x and y values or 1, make that 0.5 and I'd guess your rotation will be slower and maybe smoother?
Amazing video and helped me understand how the new input system works, and can u make tutorial how to make so that when i click control when player moves this player slows down and goes on walk animation
Really awesome tutorials, you made! 🙂 Little question: How can i change / blend the animations for crouching / proning? im a bit struggling to get it 😞
@@OneWheelStudio Youre just awesome 🙂Ive found out how to implement other animations, my only problem is: if i change the maxSpeed it causes into slower animationspeed. 😞
Hey, After watching some other videos on movement and rotation on a rigid body character this is probably the best and more to the point. Everything works good for me, the only question I have is ('cause i tried to research but couldn't find anywhere) around 14:20 where you copy paste the GetCameraForward function to the GetCameraRight and you replace the highlighted text from 'forward' to 'right' only in the highlighted text, how is that done? is there shortcut? i've tried Ctrl+F2 and other ways but I can't figure it out. Obviously no rush on this but I think for those like me that don't know would be a great help. Thanks again for this video.
Thank you for such an impressive material and explanation! But I had a problem, even two, 1 this character just flies away although the collider and rigidbody are installed and configured exactly like you have, 2 moment is that the animations are not played and the character is in place in the idle pose. What could be the reason? These artifacts?
Sorry, been busy. Check the comments if you haven't. Lots of folks have had jumping issues, and I'd guess there's a good chance you issue is mentioned.
I ve got somme problems I want to fix, First, the cam go to right when I moove the mouse to the left and left for right, how can I fix that ? Secondly I want to block my camera to only the "front view" like fps with just one view behind him. When I turn, the camera turn too fast so we can't see where we watch
The left/right issue can be fixed by inverting the controls or by adding a negative sign to the horizontal inputs. As for the second issue, sounds like you want a different aim algorithm - I made a video covering the basics of the aim options. th-cam.com/video/E1s5HWQyyxg/w-d-xo.html
You would need to add that functionality. My first thought to do that would be to use the shift button to toggle the max speed. Shouldn't be too hard to add in.
Hello thanks , Nice tutorial. But I am confused. How to walk ? I mean my character is always running........ How to walk ? I mean how to differentiate between run and walk? Sorry if i m asking something silly.................
First of all thanks for such an amazing content, But I am really confused as there are 4 ways to use with new input system like you said in your first video about new input system. As the best ways are only 2 through Messages or by using Unity Events. But in this video your not using Invoke Using Unity Events?
My favorite method is to generate a C# class and using C# action/events. That's the approach that I've used here. It's a work flow I'm comfortable with - but at the end of the day use whatever method works best for you.
How can I initiate Jump action? It doesnt do anything when I press spacebar. Also there seems to be a problem with the gravity script. My player doesn't fall down, it just moves in the same plane.
The issue with the gravity is at 16:31. I made a mistake in the code and put an text based message on the screen pointing it out. I should have made it more obvious. Oops.
I have a different question. If I wanted to use a 2d directional animator (for example to make the character able to strafe to the sides with animations) then how would I use that with the new input system?
I'm not sure it's any different with the new input system. Maybe I'm wrong. So here's my first thought on the problem: You would need to separate out the side to side velocity and the forward/backward velocity - these would need to be relative to the camera's direction. You could look up "vector projections" to project the character velocity onto the camera's direction to get the velocity in the s/s or f/b direction. From there you could then send the magnitude (with sign) of each of those velocity to the animator as parameters.
Hello, thanks for the video! I got through it but am having issues with gameplay where the camera is very choppy.... I think it is within the animator somewhere since I turned it off and then gameplay looked normal and not choppy/stuttering. any suggestions?
I'm not really sure what that's about. I know a few other folks have commented about it, but never saw it on my end. It does seem weird that the animator would effect the camera. Might be worth playing with the camera target - the base object vs. the animated object?
Question - I have terrain that is uneven and when my character runs/walks across it hills, it remain in air and gravity isn't applied. Might the rigidbody mass be too low? Something I need to add in code?
At 16:31 there is an error and on screen text to point it out. For lots of folks this has been the cause of jump issues. If that's not the issue you're more than welcome to jump over to the OWS discord server and we can try and figure out a solution.
I'm commenting before following the video, but just by passing my eyes on it, it seens that this is the perfect tutorial for everything i planned to use, so thanks a lot in advance
@@OneWheelStudio Yeah, there are a some tweaks to make (e.g., my move is 2d simple directional, with backwards and sideways specifics animations), but in general a very very solid tutorial, i learned a lot! =DD
There would be a lot of steps to do that! I would suggest researching "triggers" in the animator and "avatar masks." The trigger will let you transition to a new animation - you will need to add a jump animation. Then you can use an avatar mask to have the jump animation only apply to the legs - this allows the arms to still hold a weapon or what ever.
Having to type to specify the whole joystick and the 2D vector composite not being available from the plus sign are both because you hadn't set the Move action to be a Vector2, rather than a Button. This is a great tutorial, though. I've really been struggling with the coding aspect of movement lately. I'm having two issues with this, though: 1. The Jump Raycast isn't working for me. I might have to mess around with the positioning, but I'm putting that off for now, because... 2. Something about this code has made my player entirely immune to gravity. If I walk off a cliff, they just float, and can walk on air. I am very confused by this one. 🤷♂️ (Both issues are solved! See replies.)
Ok, I don't know why, but if I comment out the line: if (rb.velocity.y < 0) rb.velocity += Vector3.down * Physics.gravity.y * Time.fixedDeltaTime; it stops floating. This shouldn't do anything unless the fallspeed is already negative, though, so I have no idea what's going on.
For issue #2 I made a sign error in the jump code. I added a written comment on screen and fixed it later in the video. You can also check out the linked code which should be correct.
The issue with the raycast is that the origin position is based on the center of the player, rather than the bottom, so it either needed to be longer, or start from a lower position.
@@OneWheelStudio I think youtube is deleting my comment. I think its an animation issue. with the animation I am using, I switched to mixamo and I am faring a little better though I lost jump in my rewrite. :D I doubt it is your code, that seems spot on.
@@Adamthegeek70 Mmmm. Yeah, animations stuff can be a bit tricky to debug. Pop over to the OWS discord if you continue to get stuck. It's fairly quiet but there's folks (myself included) who might be able to help.
Thank you for your time. I have a problem. When I press play I can move in all directions and the animations work but when I press jump the character stays in the air.
This happened to someone else who accidently added a "Character Controller" component. Any chance you did that? If not, something in one of the component is likely not set right. Feel free to jump over to the OWS discord - it's easier to help there. Add in some screenshots of the inspector for the player object.
@@OneWheelStudio Thanks for the reply. I only added Rigidbody and CapsuleCollider like you did. Seems like there is no gravity as the chracter wont fall off a ledge either. Maybe I missed a part of the video that addressed this.
Hmm. That’s weird. I would lift the character up so it would fall and start turning components off until you can figure out what is preventing it from falling.
Hi, congratulatión for your video, i Have a questión, I have an animatión of Jump, Where do i can write in the code the instruccion "_animplayerSetTrigger("Jump") ?
I have checked and checked over my code but Unity keeps giving me an error saying ; expected. I have literally copied what you wrote and checked so many times =[
What error are you getting? What line is it coming from? Happy to help! You can slide over to the OWS discord - might be easier to find the cause (link in the description).
@@OneWheelStudio Thank you for replying, I have joined the Discord. I found out that I had not integrated Visual Studio correctly with Unity and it was having difficulty accessing certain things. Thanks.
Hi! This tutorial was helpful for moving the character with the new input system. But, my issue is that my character flies and stays in the air when it tries to go down a slope. i dont know if it has something to do with the raycast in IsGrounded. And i dont have any animations set up. just a capsule. Does anyone know how to fix this? that would be great!
have you added a rigidbody to the object? if you're using a capsule collider seems you'd be using rb.. if not, you'd have to have gravity applied to your object
I tried looking up forums and different tutorials about slopes but they have different ways of coding it and some weren’t much help. I was watching the character in this tutorial step on and off the sidewalk and mine doesn’t do that. it just flies and it doesn’t know how to fall
Did you "Enable" the action or action map? Did you make the switch in Project Settings > Player > Input Handling to include the "new" input system? Those would be my first two guesses.
@@OneWheelStudio Thanks, its on new input. I have followed this video and watched it back looking for mistakes, but i got to around 20:00 in the tutorial when you press play and move around, but my character just wont move cant figure out what ive done wrong :(
I'm not sure there is a super simple answer, but learning to use Unity's "StateMachineBehavior" is a really good start. It allows you a good way to know what's going on with an animation and run code accordingly. Animation triggers, unless something has changed, are often held up as a good (and much simpler) solution but they are buggy and non reliable. With the StateMachinceBehavior you could set the players velocity to zero while the particular animation plays. You might also be able to ignore player input while an attack animation plays. Here's the documentation: docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/StateMachineBehaviour.html
Are they render pipeline errors? I think the kit is designed for the built in render pipeline not URP or HDRP. the developer should be reasonably responsive to email.
@@OneWheelStudio the one error that came up is not there but there is one still there that says something about player settings but I can’t find player settings I’m new to unity so I don’t know where anything is
Moves as in moves up and doesn’t come down? If so there is a sign error with the jump code, there is an onscreen correction and the code is corrected later in the video.
@@OneWheelStudio the jump works "fine" (Yes, I corrected that sign- sign ) but when i dont know how stop the rigidbody if I want it to stop as for example in anticipation of the jump, or for example for other things like attack and that while doing that action it does not move or rotate the rigidbody and when finalice these actions i can move again :/
@@Claudiopo_1 If you want to stop velocity when you jump or attack you can set the rigidbodies velocity directly when each of those other events occurs. Is that what you're looking for?
To stop the rigidbody you have a few options. You can set the velocity to zero. You can set isKinematic to false. Or use the constraints to prevent movement. You could also create booleans such as isAttacking - then check the value before doing any movement or such.
@@OneWheelStudio well i used animation events in animation clips and have created two public voids for stop the rigidbody and enable rigidbody , this works "fine" but i dont know if is the best options.thank for you support
This is happening to me as well. It sometimes update the velocity, but it's not frequent nor does it follow a specific pattern. Through the rigidbody's info tab I can always see the velocity at 0.
I figured it out (that's what we get for not seeing the whole video..) - the animator component might be interfering with this. You have to make sure Root Motion is unchecked.
character wont move, my ThirdPersonController script is identical to yours, is there a previous video for this project? I really don't get why people make several videos and about 1 subject yet don't point it out so I do all of this and then nothing happens. I have rewatched your video 3 times and everything is identical (from what was done in THIS video) so I imagine I am right and you have another video not mentioned in this one that also contains pertinent information about the subject in this particular video. Edit: I noticed the camera wasn't chosen in my script after I placed it on the character in my scene, and then it worked like a charm for anyone that had the same issue. My apologies, I guess I spaced on the part when you mentioned to do that. This is extremely frustrating to grasp, but I am not giving up. Thank you for everything.
@@OneWheelStudio no i made a mistake its functioning now, sorry for the frustration, my apologies. And good to know! Thank you so much. Also, just want you to know this is the first vid I have come across that has let me successfully code with the newer Input System. I have found many videos that throw a bunch of the logic into update(), yours is the first I have found that seems to have more efficient logic. Thank you again from a total noob. lol
As in you can't create a new input action? If so, sound like you need to import the "new" input system via the package manager. If the input action is not available in your controller script, double check that the code generation is turned on and that the input asset is saved or auto-save is toggled on.
@@OneWheelStudio now i have a problem. The name "GetCameraRight" and "GetCameraForward" does not esxist, I also hava a problem with "The name 'GetCameraForward' does not exist in the current context". Do you know any way to fix this?
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object ThirdPersonController.FixedUpdate () (at Assets/ThirdPersonController.cs:44) ***line 44= forceDirection += move.ReadValue().x * GetCameraRight(playerCamera) * movementForce; ****If you have written the codes that need to be written to the ondisable function into onenable, you are likely to receive this error.****
If you check back when that code is added their is a sign error - I made a visual note and changed the code later but should have made it more obvious.
Hey really liked this kind of style of video, very informative, learned a lot. But when you were explaining the movement physics was a bit confusing, maybe do a separate video where you explain this better ?
That’s a fair critique! My day job is a physics teacher so easy to gloss over bits when I’m focused on the code. Was there something in particular about the physics that was unclear? Or all of it? 😛
@@OneWheelStudio This video was was about unity new Input System and boy it delivered. I think it's more a request/suggestion than a critique :D yeah to me physics and math is unity is the bigger hurtle. I do understand them when I get explained, but figure this out by my self or where to start is what melts my brain. Cheers
I love this style of videos, keep up the great work! It feels like a one on one tutoring session and that makes walking through the codes and around Unity all that much easier! Thank you for making great videos!
I have some weird issue. The code is the same, and the actions are as well. I checked; the camera is attached, and there are no errors. But my character moves only if I press A and D, and it moves diagonally (kinda). I have no clue why W and S don't work. I will try to fix this, but it seems like I wasted 2 hours on this. In the end, I might just go back to the old version of moving the character because I have no idea at all what the issue might be.
24:37 You can find the animation inside the objects. So click drop down for the object, fbx or whatever it is, and drag the animation from inside of it into the inspector. Great tutorial!
HEY! Thanks for the Tutorial! i had an issue with the character, one that made her fly as soon i started the game. It wasnt the code error in 16:32 and it wasn't a capsule collider issue, i find out that this is a problem with the Animator component... to fix this, just disable Apply Root Motion. Hope someone find this useful, thanks for the video
you cannot drag those animations because they have meshes included those are full animation files with mesh pieces included if you opened the animation that you said "I can't drag these into the animation slots" and you selected the animation file specifically then dragged it into the blend slot it would work. I had the same question I was like why can you not drag this into the blend state but that is because that is the entire mesh and not just the animation data
Amazing video and helped me understand how the new input system works, but i'm having some issues with my player character constantly going up in the air. I can move around and turn but it seems like he is constantly jumping up into the sky. what could be the issue?
At 16:31 there was an error with on-screen text pointing it out. The error does effect the jump. Could that be the issue?
@@OneWheelStudio well, I saw it and already made the change but that still makes the character float upwards constantly. I even tried copy paste the one from your github, but it still has the issue.
Is it possible you have gravity turned off on the rigidbody?
@@OneWheelStudio nevermind, I found out what the issue was. the issue was that I had the capsule collider as a trigger. which for some reason made it the character go up into the air.

Hi, thank you for this video, love the video style, keep up with the good work.
I found out how to get the jump to work for me!
I created a new private float at the top and named it "RayRange" and set it to 1.25f
After that, I went down to the private bool IsGrounded() function and changed it to the following:
private bool IsGrounded()
{
Vector3 direction = Vector3.down;
Ray ray = new Ray(this.transform.position, transform.TransformDirection(direction * RayRange));
if(Physics.Raycast(ray, out RaycastHit hit, RayRange))
{
return true;
}
else
{
Debug.Log("not grounded");
return false;
}
}

Click on Move
Go to Binding Properties and select "Action Type: Value" then "Control Type: Vector 2"

Great video, very helpful!!
Is there a part 2 related to the zombies?
(can't find it, lol)
No there isn’t but if you check the links in the description you should be able to get the code used for them - it’s pretty basic though.

great tutorial , thanks
Hey @One Wheel Studio I dont know how to get when the mouse button down for example, could you help me, because I need set an animation for an action that need hold the button down
Excuse me, I want to know how to connect the gamepad for PC Building Game in Unity?
Hey! Thank you for the video, it's been really helpful. How would you go about smoothing out the character rotation in this code? Look rotation is giving me very snappy results.
I haven't played with that myself, but you could add a scaling processer to the binding. It will give you x and y values or 1, make that 0.5 and I'd guess your rotation will be slower and maybe smoother?
Quaternion toRotate = Quaternion.LookRotation(direction, Vector3.up);
this.rb.rotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards(rb.rotation, toRotate, 10f);
Amazing video and helped me understand how the new input system works, and can u make tutorial how to make so that when i click control when player moves this player slows down and goes on walk animation
Really awesome tutorials, you made! 🙂
Little question: How can i change / blend the animations for crouching / proning? im a bit struggling to get it 😞
Thanks! ☺️ the blending is handled in the transition. Unity will usually do a good job for you but in the transition you can tweak the settings.
@@OneWheelStudio Youre just awesome 🙂Ive found out how to implement other animations, my only problem is: if i change the maxSpeed it causes into slower animationspeed. 😞
my charecter will move but it will only move up or down even A and D make me go ,up and down
and my jump does not work
For the movement: Are you sure BOTH Vector3 GetCameraRight/Forward are set to .y?
right.y = 0;
forward.y = 0;
I am looking to use the new input system to change weapon with the d-pad buttons. But everything I do don't work.
Are the events getting invoked? Are any functions getting called?
Hey,
After watching some other videos on movement and rotation on a rigid body character this is probably the best and more to the point. Everything works good for me, the only question I have is ('cause i tried to research but couldn't find anywhere) around 14:20 where you copy paste the GetCameraForward function to the GetCameraRight and you replace the highlighted text from 'forward' to 'right' only in the highlighted text, how is that done? is there shortcut? i've tried Ctrl+F2 and other ways but I can't figure it out. Obviously no rush on this but I think for those like me that don't know would be a great help. Thanks again for this video.
Glad the video was useful! To rename variables I generally use CTRL + R +R ( press R twice). I believe pressing F2 also works.
Thank you for such an impressive material and explanation! But I had a problem, even two, 1 this character just flies away although the collider and rigidbody are installed and configured exactly like you have, 2 moment is that the animations are not played and the character is in place in the idle pose. What could be the reason? These artifacts?
Does this happen when jumping? There was an error in the code that I pointed out via on screen text. This has caused issues for other folks.
As for the animation, sounds like the animation parameter is not getting set correctly? Are there any errors in the console?
Very good video explained everything nicely
How can I make my player jump, please reply!!
Sorry, been busy. Check the comments if you haven't. Lots of folks have had jumping issues, and I'd guess there's a good chance you issue is mentioned.
I ve got somme problems I want to fix, First, the cam go to right when I moove the mouse to the left and left for right, how can I fix that ? Secondly I want to block my camera to only the "front view" like fps with just one view behind him. When I turn, the camera turn too fast so we can't see where we watch
The left/right issue can be fixed by inverting the controls or by adding a negative sign to the horizontal inputs.
As for the second issue, sounds like you want a different aim algorithm - I made a video covering the basics of the aim options. th-cam.com/video/E1s5HWQyyxg/w-d-xo.html
What is the point of the keyboard movement if you can't walk. If you play keyboard you will only be able to run. Where is the simple shift run?
You would need to add that functionality. My first thought to do that would be to use the shift button to toggle the max speed. Shouldn't be too hard to add in.
Hello thanks , Nice tutorial.
But I am confused. How to walk ? I mean my character is always running........ How to walk ? I mean how to differentiate between run and walk? Sorry if i m asking something silly.................
First of all thanks for such an amazing content, But I am really confused as there are 4 ways to use with new input system
like you said in your first video about new input system. As the best ways are only 2 through Messages or by using Unity Events. But in this video your not using Invoke Using Unity Events?
My favorite method is to generate a C# class and using C# action/events. That's the approach that I've used here. It's a work flow I'm comfortable with - but at the end of the day use whatever method works best for you.
@@OneWheelStudio thanks
How can I initiate Jump action? It doesnt do anything when I press spacebar. Also there seems to be a problem with the gravity script. My player doesn't fall down, it just moves in the same plane.
The issue with the gravity is at 16:31. I made a mistake in the code and put an text based message on the screen pointing it out. I should have made it more obvious. Oops.
@@OneWheelStudio I'm gonna check it today, thank you for pointing this out
I'm getting an nullReferenceException for "forceDirection += move.ReadValue().x * GetCameraRight(playerCam) * movementForce;"
Me too stuck here :( I assigned the camera quadruple checked the tutorial and don't know what happened
****If you have written the codes that need to be written to the ondisable function into onenable, you are likely to receive this error.****
I have a different question. If I wanted to use a 2d directional animator (for example to make the character able to strafe to the sides with animations) then how would I use that with the new input system?
I'm not sure it's any different with the new input system. Maybe I'm wrong. So here's my first thought on the problem:
You would need to separate out the side to side velocity and the forward/backward velocity - these would need to be relative to the camera's direction. You could look up "vector projections" to project the character velocity onto the camera's direction to get the velocity in the s/s or f/b direction.
From there you could then send the magnitude (with sign) of each of those velocity to the animator as parameters.
Hello sir, Can we make videos on 3rd person shooter with different type of gun using Animation rigging ?
No composite options when I right click the action. Send halp.
In the action properties set "action type" to "value" and the control type to "vector 2"
Hello, thanks for the video! I got through it but am having issues with gameplay where the camera is very choppy.... I think it is within the animator somewhere since I turned it off and then gameplay looked normal and not choppy/stuttering. any suggestions?
I'm not really sure what that's about. I know a few other folks have commented about it, but never saw it on my end. It does seem weird that the animator would effect the camera. Might be worth playing with the camera target - the base object vs. the animated object?
@@OneWheelStudio Turning on Interpolate on the Rigidbody fixed the issue for me :)
Question - I have terrain that is uneven and when my character runs/walks across it hills, it remain in air and gravity isn't applied. Might the rigidbody mass be too low? Something I need to add in code?
Oh, and gravity is already enabled on the rigidbody
At 16:31 there is an error and on screen text to point it out. For lots of folks this has been the cause of jump issues. If that's not the issue you're more than welcome to jump over to the OWS discord server and we can try and figure out a solution.
I'm commenting before following the video, but just by passing my eyes on it, it seens that this is the perfect tutorial for everything i planned to use, so thanks a lot in advance
I hope it lives up to expectations 😉
@@OneWheelStudio Yeah, there are a some tweaks to make (e.g., my move is 2d simple directional, with backwards and sideways specifics animations), but in general a very very solid tutorial, i learned a lot! =DD
How would you add a jump animation to this setup?
There would be a lot of steps to do that! I would suggest researching "triggers" in the animator and "avatar masks." The trigger will let you transition to a new animation - you will need to add a jump animation. Then you can use an avatar mask to have the jump animation only apply to the legs - this allows the arms to still hold a weapon or what ever.
Can you please make a third person tutorial for bolt 🙂
Having to type to specify the whole joystick and the 2D vector composite not being available from the plus sign are both because you hadn't set the Move action to be a Vector2, rather than a Button.
This is a great tutorial, though. I've really been struggling with the coding aspect of movement lately.
I'm having two issues with this, though:
1. The Jump Raycast isn't working for me. I might have to mess around with the positioning, but I'm putting that off for now, because...
2. Something about this code has made my player entirely immune to gravity. If I walk off a cliff, they just float, and can walk on air. I am very confused by this one. 🤷♂️
(Both issues are solved! See replies.)
Ok, I don't know why, but if I comment out the line:
if (rb.velocity.y < 0) rb.velocity += Vector3.down * Physics.gravity.y * Time.fixedDeltaTime;
it stops floating. This shouldn't do anything unless the fallspeed is already negative, though, so I have no idea what's going on.
For issue #2 I made a sign error in the jump code. I added a written comment on screen and fixed it later in the video. You can also check out the linked code which should be correct.
As for the first issue, raycasting can be a pain to debug. You can try adding a debug ray call to visualize where the ray it.
@@OneWheelStudio ohhh.... I just missed that, somehow 😅
Thanks for the quick replies!
The issue with the raycast is that the origin position is based on the center of the player, rather than the bottom, so it either needed to be longer, or start from a lower position.
I start this and my model changes to lay flat on his back. Any Ideas?
Is it possible the rigidbody constraints aren't set right?
@@OneWheelStudio I think youtube is deleting my comment. I think its an animation issue. with the animation I am using, I switched to mixamo and I am faring a little better though I lost jump in my rewrite. :D I doubt it is your code, that seems spot on.
@@Adamthegeek70 Mmmm. Yeah, animations stuff can be a bit tricky to debug. Pop over to the OWS discord if you continue to get stuck. It's fairly quiet but there's folks (myself included) who might be able to help.
Thank you for your time. I have a problem. When I press play I can move in all directions and the animations work but when I press jump the character stays in the air.
This happened to someone else who accidently added a "Character Controller" component. Any chance you did that?
If not, something in one of the component is likely not set right. Feel free to jump over to the OWS discord - it's easier to help there. Add in some screenshots of the inspector for the player object.
@@OneWheelStudio Thanks for the reply. I only added Rigidbody and CapsuleCollider like you did. Seems like there is no gravity as the chracter wont fall off a ledge either. Maybe I missed a part of the video that addressed this.
Gravity should be turned on by default on the rigidbody. Check that.
@@OneWheelStudio Yes "Use Gravity" on the Rigidbody is checked.
Hmm. That’s weird. I would lift the character up so it would fall and start turning components off until you can figure out what is preventing it from falling.

Hi! This tutorial was helpful for moving the character with the new input system. But, my issue is that my character flies and stays in the air when it tries to go down a slope. i dont know if it has something to do with the raycast in IsGrounded. And i dont have any animations set up. just a capsule. Does anyone know how to fix this? that would be great!
have you added a rigidbody to the object? if you're using a capsule collider seems you'd be using rb.. if not, you'd have to have gravity applied to your object
Did you catch the error at 16:31?
@@OneWheelStudio I caught your error but it still doesn’t make the player fall or go down from slopes
@@hasthenpc i did add a rigidbody and a capsule collider
I tried looking up forums and different tutorials about slopes but they have different ways of coding it and some weren’t much help. I was watching the character in this tutorial step on and off the sidewalk and mine doesn’t do that. it just flies and it doesn’t know how to fall
I added the code to stop spinning but still spins
I’m not sure I fully understand the problem. Feel free to jump on the OWS discord- it might be easier to help there.
Input not working for me, character wont move. Any idea's ?
Did you "Enable" the action or action map? Did you make the switch in Project Settings > Player > Input Handling to include the "new" input system? Those would be my first two guesses.
@@OneWheelStudio Cannot find "Input Handling" inside Project Settings > Player
It's in "other settings" roughly in the bottom third. Its also called "Active Input Handling" - oops.
@@OneWheelStudio Thanks, its on new input. I have followed this video and watched it back looking for mistakes, but i got to around 20:00 in the tutorial when you press play and move around, but my character just wont move cant figure out what ive done wrong :(
Any chance you forgot to save the Input Action Asset?
I mean... where's the jump??
It starts around 6:30 there are several pieces that have to be put together to make it work.
Just starting out here and I'm not taking from the video but I would love if someone just posted the code so I could copy and paste it.
There is a link to GitHub in the description. All the code is posted there.
@@OneWheelStudio Thank You.
how could i stop moving during my attack animation?
I'm not sure there is a super simple answer, but learning to use Unity's "StateMachineBehavior" is a really good start. It allows you a good way to know what's going on with an animation and run code accordingly. Animation triggers, unless something has changed, are often held up as a good (and much simpler) solution but they are buggy and non reliable.
With the StateMachinceBehavior you could set the players velocity to zero while the particular animation plays. You might also be able to ignore player input while an attack animation plays.
Here's the documentation: docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/StateMachineBehaviour.html
I downloaded the 3d kit from stor and got bunch of errors
Are they render pipeline errors? I think the kit is designed for the built in render pipeline not URP or HDRP. the developer should be reasonably responsive to email.
@@OneWheelStudio the one error that came up is not there but there is one still there that says something about player settings but I can’t find player settings I’m new to unity so I don’t know where anything is

You are welcome to jump over to the OWS discord (link in the description) it's easy to share a screenshot there.
@@OneWheelStudio don’t have discord do you have unity forum account
cool )
well its works , but my character still move when i jump
Moves as in moves up and doesn’t come down? If so there is a sign error with the jump code, there is an onscreen correction and the code is corrected later in the video.
@@OneWheelStudio the jump works "fine" (Yes, I corrected that sign- sign ) but when i dont know how stop the rigidbody if I want it to stop as for example in anticipation of the jump, or for example for other things like attack and that while doing that action it does not move or rotate the rigidbody and when finalice these actions i can move again :/
@@Claudiopo_1 If you want to stop velocity when you jump or attack you can set the rigidbodies velocity directly when each of those other events occurs. Is that what you're looking for?
To stop the rigidbody you have a few options. You can set the velocity to zero. You can set isKinematic to false. Or use the constraints to prevent movement. You could also create booleans such as isAttacking - then check the value before doing any movement or such.
@@OneWheelStudio well i used animation events in animation clips and have created two public voids for stop the rigidbody and enable rigidbody , this works "fine" but i dont know if is the best options.thank for you support
Well, Its great idea, but my character still cant look at the direction, because velocity stays 0, thats strange. do you have any idea why?
This is happening to me as well. It sometimes update the velocity, but it's not frequent nor does it follow a specific pattern. Through the rigidbody's info tab I can always see the velocity at 0.
I figured it out (that's what we get for not seeing the whole video..) - the animator component might be interfering with this. You have to make sure Root Motion is unchecked.
make for mobile
character wont move, my ThirdPersonController script is identical to yours, is there a previous video for this project? I really don't get why people make several videos and about 1 subject yet don't point it out so I do all of this and then nothing happens. I have rewatched your video 3 times and everything is identical (from what was done in THIS video) so I imagine I am right and you have another video not mentioned in this one that also contains pertinent information about the subject in this particular video.
Edit: I noticed the camera wasn't chosen in my script after I placed it on the character in my scene, and then it worked like a charm for anyone that had the same issue. My apologies, I guess I spaced on the part when you mentioned to do that. This is extremely frustrating to grasp, but I am not giving up. Thank you for everything.
There isn’t an additional video. Do you know if the inputs are working? Are the movement functions getting called when you press buttons?
Also feel free to drop by the OWS discord - it’s often easier to debug there.
@@OneWheelStudio no i made a mistake its functioning now, sorry for the frustration, my apologies. And good to know! Thank you so much.

Best Player controller tutorial ever! no more spider web animators!
Hey really liked this kind of style of video, very informative, learned a lot. But when you were explaining the movement physics was a bit confusing, maybe do a separate video where you explain this better ?
That’s a fair critique! My day job is a physics teacher so easy to gloss over bits when I’m focused on the code. Was there something in particular about the physics that was unclear? Or all of it? 😛
@@OneWheelStudio This video was was about unity new Input System and boy it delivered. I think it's more a request/suggestion than a critique :D yeah to me physics and math is unity is the bigger hurtle.

Totally get that. Always happy to try and answer questions - pop over to the OWS discord any time I can help.
This was a good start. The code needs some modifications to handle any sort of hill or stairs, but not a bad intro.

Can you please make a video how this work's in with mobile input. Please.
I have some weird issue. The code is the same, and the actions are as well. I checked; the camera is attached, and there are no errors. But my character moves only if I press A and D, and it moves diagonally (kinda). I have no clue why W and S don't work. I will try to fix this, but it seems like I wasted 2 hours on this. In the end, I might just go back to the old version of moving the character because I have no idea at all what the issue might be.
Thank you for bit on Input System + Cinemachine, but I'm getting jittery movement with the camera now as compared with when I used Mouse X/Y
Idk if youre still having this problem but using interpolate on the rigidbody fixed this issue for me

i had an issue with the character, one that made her fly as soon i started the game. It wasnt the code error in 16:32 and it wasn't a capsule collider issue, i find out that this is a problem with the Animator component... to fix this, just disable Apply Root Motion. Hope someone find this useful, thanks for the video
lol
Thank you for your clear explanation of why we normalize the camera look vectors. I finally understand.
you cannot drag those animations because they have meshes included those are full animation files with mesh pieces included
if you opened the animation that you said "I can't drag these into the animation slots" and you selected the animation file specifically then dragged it into the blend slot it would work.
I had the same question I was like why can you not drag this into the blend state but that is because that is the entire mesh and not just the animation data
