Unity 3D Turorial 03 - Making a Character

This tutorial gets into making a character that can move and an environment to move him in.

var speed = 3.0;
var rotateSpeed = 3.0;
function Update () {
var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);
transform.Rotate(0, Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") * rotateSpeed, 0);
var forward = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.for ward);
var curSpeed = speed * Input.GetAxis ("Vertical");
controller.SimpleMove(forward * curSpeed);
}
@script RequireComponent(CharacterController)

Why not use the character controller in the unity assets? You can jump there, there are advanced features, and so on. I woulds say that it is best to simply tweak it for your needs rather than program it from scratch.

@sereda008 The character controller that comes is simply a Component that you attach to a game object which determines certain things like the way it reacts to physics (or doesn't, rather), it doesn't have any inherent movement, you have to add that yourself. This particular script is for use with a Character Controller.

can you send me a screenshot of the specific error you are having?

The demo project is generally installed in your documents when you install unity. It's called Bootcamp for 3.0, and I think it's Island Demo for 2.6

To everyone getting errors,

You need to change this line:

var forward = transform.TransformDirection(V­ector3.for ward);

He made a typo, the Vector3.for ward should be Vector3.forward, fixed it for me!

(Thumbs up so people don't get this error again!)

guys your error is hat in desc it says "for ward" when its meant to be "forward"

Protip:

The more exclamation marks you use the more immature you appear.

You're making a fool out of yourself, so don't expect any actual response.
