Usually I like your tutorials, but this one isn't great. It doesn't really teach how to do 2D movement, and rather teaches how to use a pre-made script, so in the end nothing about the movement is learnt, other than the inputs. A follow-up video on creating the actual script that does the movements would be useful to people learning, as it'd let them play around with their own ideas, instead of being limited to the pre-made script.

[@DukaSoft]

I was thinking the exact same

[@UBassBoostHD]

Bilip He said this tutorial is for beginners and he will not do a "propper" script for movement! This tutorial is not bad, for me was very helpfull. Probably you are an advanced developer who knows how to code, but i don't.

I agree, it is much better to see the whole process than using something pre-made.

Hey everyone, if you are having some issue with crouch, the script provided in the discription has an error. To solve that, just open with your editor and go to line 67 (it is an if(!crouch) state) and remove the '!' on that line. The reason to do this is that is that the original check - if(!crouch) - is checking if player IS NOT crouching, and then set it to true. We don't want that. In fact, we want to know if player IS crouching. I hope this can help anyone else! Great tutorial though!

[@raghidalsayek7019]

for those who are having a problem with the player clipping through the floor when releasing crouch button under an object, you need to edit the CharacterController2D script line 67(!crouch) change it to (crouch) to check if the player IS crouching AND line 64 the Move method you need to remove the first if statement. it basically means its only checking if there is an obstacle above you ONLY when you are pressing the crouch button which wont keep the collider disabled when you release the crouch. However when you remove the if(crouch) the first one in the Move method, it will check if there is an obstacle above you whether you are pressing down the crouch or not. meaning even when you release the crouch button it will STILL check is there an obstacle above you and therefore prevent the player from unchrouching until there is no obstacle above you.

Turns out this set of colliders has weird interaction with platform effectors. The character can land on a platform with bottom side of the box while circle still ignores collision. If you are going to use platform effectors, replace the box with a vertical capsule collider full height long.

You can use the box and circle, but the box has to be smaller than the circle on the left and right edges.

[@foxdemon194v]

For anyone who was having problems with your sprite crouching before you hit a wall. TLDR; change the size of line 17, K_CeilingRadius to better fit the character. The ceiling and ground checks make a radius that look out for the selected layers, these have a pre set size. You can make a circle and mess with sizes , then copy the size onto line 17, this way the invisible radius will be the size you needed.

[@gatjensb]

Thank you sooo much, this is the right answer, the problem is not in the code, it dependes on your character height and the position of tiles

Here’s some problems i faced and solutions i came up with. Player falling through floor / Rigid floor - Use TileMap Collider component on tilemap Couldn’t Move - Noticed my player was stuck in mid air, turned on air control to fix Couldn’t Jump: - Again due to player being stuck in mid air, and you can’t jump unless you are touching the ground. Noticed my ceiling and ground check were mixed up. Rearranged them and fixed the issue. (The ceiling check and ground check steps are required for jumping to work) Couldn’t Crouch - Go into the Character Controller script and press F3 or CTRL + F to use the “find” tool. Type in “!Crouch” (make sure it’s not case sensitive) and edit out that exclamation point.

[@fy8798]

I disagree that one shouldn't spend time with a character controller. I feel the opposite is true. Using a premade script is the worst possible choice, because you don't learn the basics. Movement teaches you more about unity than most people realize. For example, choosing HOW you move (modify velocity directly? Add forces? Transform and your own physics) will already teach you the differences between the kinds of forces unity uses. I've picked "modify velocity directly", for example, but that then causes other things to learn, particularly about how the physics engine works. Problems crop up, like moving into walls stopping falling, which teach you even more about the physics, and the solution naturally teaches you raycasts (as you want to make a check if your character is grounded, which requires raycasts). You also learn right here how gravity works, and that to solve this issue, you'll have to add gravity to your velocity "manually", so the movement into the wall doesn't cancel it out, which it normally does. And then there's moving platforms, which in itself offers multiple solutions, and teaches you even more. I wouldn't even have known about many of the intricacies of unity, especially when it comes to physics, if I had just picked a pre-set assets.

[@sensei9767]

That is very true. It does depend on how deep you want to go into coding, but if you're serious about learning how to code games you should at least try it.

You could do a wallslide by raycasting to the left and right of the player to see if there is a wall, and checking if the player is moving towards said wall, where you could then lower the gravity the object feels while it's on the wall to make it fall slower to simulate a slide.

That's extremely easy. If (boolean "is touching wall" and boolean " is in the the air") {If (player presses jump button) Jump()} Wall jumping is enabled by default in Unity because you haven't programmed a way to check if the player is touching the ground, that needs to be implemented by the programmer.

[@Metacious]

Thank you, I'm trying that :D 3 booleans, one for touching ground tiles (previously tagged/with a ground class), one for walls and one for "while in the air" (when no ground or wall is checked, but it could be avoided if I just use wall and ground == false) Wonder if I can give types to tiles using Unity tilemap

[@kahlialynch2504]

Or you can add a physics material and bump the friction up to one

[@TimTraV]

Is there a way to create levels using tilemaps and collision is already set up? Because I'm having struggle creating decent slope collision.

Ok, so I feel compelled to add some of my own advice here. I was having the issue where my character is just constantly crouching upon hitting play. At first, I tried following Kota Pok (Parent of this comment thread) advice. His advice in his #4- the bit about changing the character controller script- that worked and made my character behave normally interms of being able to crouch and uncrouch. However, my character would allways stand up when I stop providing crouch input, even when there was a ceiling above him. In the end- I found that Brackey's chosen settings for his Player's "What is Ground" variable was throwing off my particular geometry for my colliders. The "What is Ground" variable can be modified in the "Characer Controller 2d (Script) section in your Player's Inspector in Unity. @3:10 Brackey's instructed us to set the "What Is Ground" variable to "Everything" and then unselect "Player" This ended up making everything mess up when it was time for detecting crouch collision. Basically, what I believe was happening (I'm still just a beginner), the "What is Ground" variable was being set to any of the other layers that we checked in that step. Consequently, when the collision check was being conducted between the ciling object and the ground object, whatever the ground was being set to was so far away that no collision was being detected between the two, and your player is being permitted to stand up because of that. So, what I did was- Like Kota Pok said in the parent comment, set "k_CeilingRadius" to .05f instead of .2f In Unity editor- Select Player and under Character Controller Script in the Player inspector, select the exact layer (or layers) you need to be the ground. For me, all of the platforms and terrain and obstacles I had set to my middle layer, so I could easily just set "What is Ground" to my middle layer. Do not use Kota Pok's 4th suggestion if this sounds like your problem

[@ParkMyFreak]

so, should the ground(the one I am walking on) and crouchpiece(the one I am trying to duck under) be same layers or diferent?

i dont understand what u mean by "kota pok's comment thread" is it someone that commented some advice here? cause im trying to find his comment but i can't

[@Pralyth]

Ya I am curious about the "kota pok's comment thread" bit as well. I am having the same issue where my character is constantly crouching even when the crouch variable is set to false.

[@tejanbah3216]

when you find that you are unable to crouch go to "Character Controller 2D" then go to line 67 change (!Crouch) to (Crouch)

[@stellarestuary589]

Hey, in case it goes over your head like it did for me because I missed it at the beginning of the video: don't forget to put Colliders on your floor and your platforms (a Tilemap Collider preferably!) or the player will fall and you'll scratch head wondering why!

[@HannahSmeal]

[@ziggykac]

If your player is always crouching, but you want the player to automatically crouch when it's under something, dont change the controller script to if (!crouch). Make a "player" layer and uncheck it from the "What is Ground" thing and then choose that layer for the player.

Hi! I'm a huge fan of your videos, but I really think it would be helpful if you created a follow up video explaining how to use tile map colliders??? Sorry, I'm just really confused with how they work and can't seem to find any good explanations anywhere 😂

[@thatonewar6328]

i know you made this 4 years ago but i used tilemap colliders and they didn't really work they were super buggy so i just used edge colliders and box colliders it was more and took time but it was easier and didn't break

[@chriswhitmire4167]

Just a note for people who may want to do this project. If you use the character controller script as given, then the player will always crouch. But if go to line 67 of the character controller code and change it to *if (crouch){* instead of *if (!crouch){* , then this will fix that issue.

[@jadenreece5866]

This is exactly what I needed thank you!

[@mihaimitrica1506]

Hey, guys. I really hope you can help me with something that I've been strugling for weeks. I've almost completed a project and I've used these scripts for movement. I modified it a little bit so I could use a Joystick instead of buttons for jumping and crouching. The problem is that if I hold the Joystick up, the character will jump, hit the ground, then jump again and so on. And no, I don't mean that it's flying, it just keeps on jumping BUT the 'IsJumping' bool remains 'true' in this proces so the animation for jumping will be played only once. More than that, it's inconsistently jumping in height. Sometimes jumps higher, sometimes lower. Pls, help me if you have any ideas...tried looking up this problem on the entire Google but found nothing of this sort....

[@heximy7501]

For some reason, when adding a tile map collider, my ramps have a higher collider box than the actual ground, making it impossible for the character to walk up without jumping. I can't find a way to readjust the collider so I was wondering if there is any way of fixing this?

[@peterbunschoten]

I found the fix! Go back to the Sprite Editor, and at the top left click on the "SpriteEditor" dropdown and select "Edit Physics Shape". Then define your sprite's physics shape.

[@ezioblazesit9017]

How do you get your code to look like that on Visual Studio?

[@khudkhed2955]

me at the beginning of the coding part: "i dont understand anything" In between the jump and crouch part: "I UNDERSTAND IT!!!!" at the end: "no i dont"

[@dustyfish8]

Amen brackeys, always making my day better.. :)

[@silverstarling6207]

I have issue with infinite crouch too. In my case the problem was with my "Player" size. CharacterController script have "k_CeilingRadius" constant equals to .02f. And my player was so small what my ceilingCheck object always interact with ground because radius of ceiling check was bigger than my character.

[@rodzme361]

I was having the issue below: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object PlayerMovement.FixedUpdate () Here's the solution that worked for me: In Unity, click on your player and check the Player Movement script in the Inspector window. The Controller parameter will be set to "None (CharacterController2D)" by default. Click on the arrow on the right and change the controller to your player and that should do the trick!

[@rhydonculous5752]

Are there any videos or writing that go over the Character Controller 2D script in detail? It looks like the only way to edit the variables and their values is by changing the script outside of Unity and reimporting it. I’m sure this was intended for people who try and mess with it while following this tutorial. Loved the video btw! Really good stuff :)

[@astral4883]

Hey Brackeys, I would really like to know what each character in C# stands for. For example, what does this () mean, and when to use it, or what does this mean and when to use it, or what coloured words (Rigidbody/Transform/Vector3) stand for, and how we can combine all these to make a code that Unity understands. I've watched tutorials for C#, and even though I can technically understand how a script is executed, I still can't understand why in some paragraphs, you have these (), , coloured Words.

[@Kooczsi]

its different ways of referring to things so that unity understands your code

[@Kooczsi]

the coloured words are for quality of life probably and its easier to remember when colors are involved

[@Knuddelfell]

Can you do a video on building a 2D J&R-Game from Scratch (:

[@henryxXfun_timesXx]

if you dont mind me asking but how did you make it so the player wouldn't collide with the background tile map (the dark bits under the platforms) because mine wont even when i remove the tilemap collider and set the layer to the one which the player ignored.

[@func_e]

[@aligonia]

If anyone is getting compiler errors there is a good chance that your Unity and Visual Studio aren't configured to work with each other yet and things like CharacterController2D aren't being recognized as classes. This is the solution below: In Unity Editor Go to Menu, Click on Edit -> Preferences -> External Tools -> External Script Editor. Set it to Visual Studio (your installed version of VS). Now in Menubar go to Edit -> Project Settings -> Player Settings -> Other Settings -> Under Configuration -> Check API Compatibility Level -> Change it to your installed .Net version. In my case I set it to .Net 4.x Then just restart VisualStudio and it should start recognizing the classes.
