First Person Controller - Headbob (EP05) [Unity Tutorial]

[@monkeyrobotsinc.9875]

you are such a great instructor. most people would just say "then we type this" but you explain the most important part: the WHY. you da best. and you are a great coder. ive already learned so many cool new tricks and things ive never picked up from tons of videos already. thank you.

[@Selfency]

Cannot agree more. When watching other "tutorials" they don't care to teach you, it's basically just "copy this and run it" like, bro I can copy and paste code all day that isn't going to make me understand it. Meanwhile, this guy has the most organized and comprehensive workflow out of them all and explains it better than anyone else either. Cannot thank him enough.

[@Zygmuntt]

Absolute chad! Thanks a lot, this is the only tutorial I could find that isn't half an hour long and works.

[@Savaril]

Thank you for this tutorial, it's the only one I could find on youtube that actually produced good results that were feasible for a real game and not just a demo

[@IAmViolencity]

Same! This guy is actually such a chad

[@TheBackroomsSmiler]

As a beginner to c#, your tutorials are amazing, tysm

[@liornaveh192]

Its my first time in Unity and i wanted to make a FPS game and your tutorials are so good so thank u so much bro!!!!

[@PlayBAT]

Dude, you're the best! No one on KZbin can explain it so clearly!👍

[@qroundhawk7149]

This series is amazing, keep up the good work men. Hoop this channel blows up for tutorials because you explain it so clearly and calm.

[@WizardMonke]

Love your tutorials. The code is organized and satisfying to write, and I love the flexibility that you've given this controller to really be used in any FPS. Also you explain things very concisely and clearly. Keep up the good work!

[@Wheiejdj27383]

actually amazing help me very much keep up the good work

[@swzwij]

Could you also do an episode where you implement foot steps into the character controllers

[@zbeb118]

Hey, great video but there is just one little bug, with this current bob it only moves the camera when the movedir.x or movedir.z are > 0.1 so if you move just a bit the camera moves down a bit stays down and doesnt move back up until you start moving again. Is there any work around?

[@KH2FanLover]

On the ''HandleHeadbob'' void, after the second if, put this: else { timer += Time.deltaTime * (isCrouching ? crouchBobSpeed : IsSprinting ? sprintBobSpeed : walkBobSpeed); playerCamera.transform.localPosition = new Vector3(playerCamera.transform.localPosition.x, defaultYPos, playerCamera.transform.localPosition.z); }

[@Heperoo]

@@KH2FanLover Worked, thanks!

[@qroundhawk7149]

@@KH2FanLover You should make another check: else if(defaultYPos != playerCamera.transform.localPosition.y) so the else wont be called every frame only once to bring it back to defaultYPos

[@KH2FanLover]

@@qroundhawk7149 Oh true! Thanks!

[@bshaun2740]

@@KH2FanLover To add on to this even more, here's some code to make the return to the default height smoother. Create your own float variable for the animation speed and name it (timeToReturn), then run this coroutine on the third if statement (the one provided by Qroundhawk) to interpolate the vectors return to the default height value. Here's the code: private IEnumerator LevelHeight() { if (duringCrouchAnimation) { yield break; } duringLevelHeightAnimation = true; float timeElapsed = 0; Vector3 currentHeight = playerCamera.transform.localPosition; Vector3 targetHeight; targetHeight = new Vector3(playerCamera.transform.localPosition.x, defaultYPos, playerCamera.transform.localPosition.z); while (timeElapsed < timeToReturn) { playerCamera.transform.localPosition = Vector3.Lerp(currentHeight, targetHeight, timeElapsed / timeToReturn); timeElapsed += Time.deltaTime; yield return null; } duringLevelHeightAnimation = false; }

When i first start walking with the headbob enabled For some reason It lowers my hieght. Not sure if its the characterController hieght or the playerCamera height.

[@ike7093]

When ever I move the camera moves down to the center of the player. When ever I couch... I cannot uncrouch. Help please

[@rebornkevin7874]

I'm sort of a new person to Unity and these videos have helped me a lot, just a question if you don't mind. Any plans to make a tutorial on how to make footsteps SFX? Like whenever you walk a sound effect plays such as wood creaking, concrete?

[@comp3interactive]

For sure man. That's going to be one of the episodes in the series!

hey! great video once again! following and learning this controller! but i ran into a bug, as i walk my camera goes to the middle of the capsule and doesnt return. it does the bob from there, is very weird. i tried disable the crouch and nothing, can someone help ?

[@IlIlIIIIlIlIIlIll]

did you find a fix?

[@skaruts]

Check where you set the *defaultYPos* inside *Awake,* to see if you didn't use *position* instead of *localPosition* by mistake. It should be *localPosition.*

[@KushagraPratap]

I subscribed for you accent, and I dont regret it. Please give some tips for first person games to look more alive

[@comp3interactive]

You know, the thing that stopped me from starting up a KZbin channel sooner was my voice. I didn't think it was that easy to understand, especially to a foreign audience, but I haven't had many negative comments about it and also my analytics show only 6% use subtitles... Learn to love yourself ♥ 😂

[@comp3interactive]

In regards to more FPS tutorials, once this controller series is fleshed out then we'll be using this controller in further FPS tutorials. It just seemed logical to get the controller completed first

[@KushagraPratap]

@@comp3interactive I used to watch with someone similar accent, LaffenGas, a minecraft youtuber, and I still watch him not bcoz I like his content, but just bcoz his accent, its kinda addicting

Camera wont return to defaultYPos. Any ideas?

same for me also

[@MarsLaaars]

fixed it 😅, I had written 'defaultYPos = Mathf.Sin(timer)' instead of "defaultYPos + Mathf.Sin(timer)"

[@featherless656]

I did everything in the tutorial, but instead of bobbing, it just kinda doesn't do anything

[@rycrft]

Just a question, since being new to scripting and such I am learning lot's from this! But is it okay to use your same script for a published game in the future?

[@comp3interactive]

Yeah man for sure, use it, tweak it, just learn from it... Do whatever you like with it

[@rycrft]

@@comp3interactive Perfect! Thank you very much! Great vids! Also one more question, would you be able to do a prone script?

It's on my "to do" list, I'm just taking a little break from recording at the moment but I should be back at it soon enough

[@rycrft]

@@comp3interactive No worries! Take your time!

[@trapeface]

For others who find themselves expanding on the technique... Left as-was for my purposes, just a "thought for food"....almost gave up the troll-ish share for format/clarity grief- protected float MatchParameter(string context = null) { if(context == "bob") return isSprinting ? _sprintBobSpeed : _isCrouching ? _crouchBobSpeed : _walkBobSpeed; return isSprinting ? _sprintSpeed : _isCrouching ? _crouchSpeed : _walkSpeed; } // which allows in head bob method: timer += Time.deltaTime * MatchParameter("bob"); // elsewhere _currentInput = new Vector2(Input.GetAxis("...") * MatchParameter(), ....

[@Snai1TankProductions]

My headbob is happening even when I'm standing still... Have I missed something?

[@timtrollgasm]

Yeah I got that issue too. did you ever get it fixed? If so how?

[@TheMavryan]

@@timtrollgasm Hey, I just got this issue and realised I had put a semi colon on the end of if (Mathf.Abs(moveDirection.x) > 0.1f || Mathf.Abs(moveDirection.z) > 0.1f) Once I removed the semicolon then the bobbing worked correctly when idle. Hopefully this helps!

[@CHTOUROU_BECHIR]

I agree with "Rise 2034", the number of views is not fair considering the quality of the tutorials, I find it weird, I know a certain Englishman who has a tutorial channel and who has more than 120k of subscribers and I know his lessons suck, needless to say who he is (he does sequencing and not programming ...) and yet he has so many subscribers !!!!! It is unfair.

[@ИсламКаримов-т9ь]

hey man very good code but you need make "isCrouching ? crouchBobSpeed : IsSprinting ? sprintBobSpeed : walkBobSpeed" as property like below float BobSpeed => isCrouching ? crouchBobSpeed : IsSprinting ? sprintBobSpeed : walkBobSpeed;

[@souldarktemplar]

Greetings, I have followed your tutorial as best as I can, not exactly 'verbatim', but I tried to cram all the technics and insight and stuff in my head but I am just absolutely stumped one single thing. The headbob doesn't seem to trigger for when crouching. Any other movement, walking, sprinting works but not crouching. I have tried logging if my isCrouching is being finicky but so far it has not been that way, especially when the part that checks for any ceiling while crouching works as intended. May I ask for any comment on this? I could leave it as is and just animate whatever stuff the player would be holding as I am assuming the player shall be holding a weapon or item for most if not all of the time but I would really like to see it fixed so I may feel it out and stuff.... Thank you in advance..

[@The-Cheph]

I did everything right and its not headbobbing

[@The-Cheph]

no errors

[@internalreadonlyvoid5283]

Cool tut. But Having one script that controls everything... Not good. Yes, u can disable some features...

[@thepolygonpilgrimage]

What in your opinion would be better? Too many tiny scripts becomes cumbersome. IMO a master script for a player controller makes perfect sense; contain all player functions to one place. Otherwise to make sweeping changes or even simple ones you would need to go all over the place. This is far less messy and far more efficient.

[@comp3interactive]

I know what you mean but I disagree with that in this instance. If it becomes too large then it can be split up to partials but for a single entity such as a first person controller it's fine to contain everything in a single master class, it cuts down on local references to other sub-classes which you need to monitor on scene change to make sure they're still intact

[@LitNotFig]

Its not working, I checked the code and its exactly the same.

unfortunately the head bob for sprinting doesnt work i'm floating, { if (!characterController.isGrounded) return; float speedMultiplier = IsSprinting ? SprintWalkSpeed : WalkBobSpeed; // Use the correct variable float headBob = Mathf.Sin(timer * speedMultiplier) * (IsSprinting ? SprintBobAmount : WalkBobAmount); PlayerCamera.transform.localPosition = new Vector3( PlayerCamera.transform.localPosition.x, defaultYPos + headBob, PlayerCamera.transform.localPosition.z ); if (Mathf.Abs(characterController.velocity.x) > 0.1f || Mathf.Abs(characterController.velocity.z) > 0.1f) { timer += Time.deltaTime; } else { timer = 0f; } } is what i'm using but when i used yours it still didnt work
