How to make a 3rd Person Shooter in Unity | Cinemachine & Input System

[@jonathanjblair]

I'm a big fan of the full system tutorial instead of just "here's part go figure out the rest on your own". Videos like this take a ton of time. Much appreciated.

[@samyam]

Thanks!! Yeah it took a while 😅

[@Lpd_n]

Exactly

Hey y’all! Here’s the next video: Adding Animations | Blend Trees, Layers, & Animation Rigging - 3rd Person Shooter - Unity Tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2mWg2yCnLeNhqM If blending between the different cinemachine camera's has a large position offset, try the following: *Cinemachine Virtual Camera > Transition > Inherit Position // will inherit from the previous camera’s position

hi I have just realized that when you change Unity input to Scripts it gives you Errors...Noted... THANKS

THANK YOU I WAS HAVING THIS PROBLEM ubuueijabfuawgbruyfdjawhb8ir

[@acrostiic5623]

Even a year later, this tutorial is the best I've seen. I watched 3 different hour long videos just to find that there was something about the end result that I didn't like. Not only is this easier, but more customizable. All the other videos I watched required so much code and not any way to change the way you move or the way the camera works. I figured out how to adjust the camera to an RPG game by changing the value range of the horizontal axis to 360 degrees rather than 180, allowing you to rotate fully around, enabling wrap, and then locking the cursor in the middle of the screen using the cursor lock state command. I can't express how helpful this tutorial was as a beginner to Unity and C#.

[@acrostiic5623]

Like seriously, I was about to give up any hopes of making a game but this was so easy to implement that it re-motivated me and now its 8am and I haven't slept xD

[@publicalias8172]

Sam I love it, I can't say how much of a help this has been. decided against using too many asset packages so this is wonderful! I sure do hope you keep going

[@samyam]

Thank you!! I do plan to! :D

[@CharkGames]

Just in case, as I have seen others mention, if you get the targetRotation doesn't exist issue, it's because her program autocorrects. So the line before was Quaternion rotation, but when she writes in the next line targetRotation her program autocorrects the previous line to also be Quaternion targetRotation instead of rotation. Hope this helps!

[@syncrowave9815]

Amazing video! super complete and perfectly explained, just a few cuts that leave out only a few small changes in the strings but with a little attention everything works beautifully!

[@Spark3r]

I need help, I was at 25:51 when you typed targetRotation however for me it said that, that doesnt exist in the current context, can you please help

[@halc4261]

If someone has a newer version of Unity and have problem with spawning Decals on the walls when shooting bullet on collision( 53:42 ), change the Floor (plane), in rigidbody check the Kinematic... and uncheck in other collision objects like wall etc. Also freeze the all rotations at the plane and wall.

[@moliprod]

when i want to shoot, it says that Destroying assets is not permitted to avoid data loss, idk what to do

Thanks so much, every other cinemachine tutorial uses free-look and you're exactly right it's just not snappy like this one is.

I LOVE this tutorial. Although this system is really specified for TPS games, it can be used for more games such as Mecha games (the genre I specialize in)! The scripts and components used are so modifiable to your liking. AMAZING tutorial!

23:39 if anyone is having errors , try deleting line cameraTransform = Camera.main.transform; and instead of this use cameraTransform = GameObject.Find("*your camera name*").GetComponent();

[@Ultimateroku]

It's not working for me still

[@LM-cc7qz]

I think this video is incredible compared to other tutorials because it explains how to change the camera settings to your liking and why we are adding this line of code, the reasoning behind it. Also not to be nit picky but euler is pronounced u-ler not oiler.

Thanks! Glad you liked it! I give up with that word, every time I try I say it wrong 😭 Next time 😤

[@badscotsman]

@@samyam your pronunciation is actually spot on... as oy•ler or "oiler" (definitely American pronunciation... but which language actually pronounces it as "u-ler"...??).

[@FacturedGaming]

Did anyone have a problem where the aiming camera for whatever reason did not follow the character from behind? I had encountered times where if my character would rotate around, the active camera will be correct, but the aiming camera would still be infront of the player and thus ADs would be incorrect

[@blzahz7633]

I'm about 30 minutes in, and I gotta say that this is a very captivating tutorial. There are some things that get jumped over and needed some piecing together, for example at (17:15) to (18:57) "Look At" changes from Player to 3rdPerson, the same happens with Aim Camera at (25:59) - (26:10) 3rdPerson changes to AimCinemachine. (Though having these set to looking at themselves caused mad shaking, so I returned both to Player, let's see how that pans out - maybe this is why they got skipped over?) Then there's PlayerController.cs: you introduce Aim Action at the beginning of the video when creating PlayerControls (6:12), but don't really type it in the cs script at (11:09), yet refer to it at (27:35). This caused some confusion when Unity started screaming at me.

[@samyam]

Thanks for the notes! I probably messed up during the video and switched the objects, and sometimes when editing I may miss a section by accident because I have to remove a lot of mistakes. I’ve been improving with more recent videos! :)

[@blzahz7633]

@@samyam Yea it happens, and it's okay. I think it's better to let the other person know when stuff like that happens - after all creating a tutorial is about sharing knowledge so we can all be better, something along the lines of: _"If we do our best, individually, then collectively we'll be awesome."_ Tutorials, comments - communication in general is a way to help each other to reach individual excellence. So keep it up, as you can see from the other comments, you are doing a good job.

Wow. What a great video! I'm trying to make my 3rd person shooter controller using state machine. This gave me a ton of info I needed. Thanks!

[@STARS_Redfield]

I have a problem with the decal and rigidbody, I cannot make it working with a mesh collider With Box collider + rigid body, it works, but my level is more complex and I cannot use box collider

[@STARS_Redfield]

Found a solution that works 25% of time: Adding the rigidbody to the sphere bullet, wich also alloy me to put gravitty on it. Only problem, someytime the collision are not working properly, the decal does not spawn and the bullet remains in place until it despawn

[@halc4261]

This is the BEST video tutorial I ever find on youtube. I really love this video tutorials what have like 1 hour (im not fan of the speedrunning coding in like 10 minutes). Perfectly described what everything means, doing, what functionality it has... Im so proud of you for that Im being teached by a girl

[@travisgarrisonihdlive]

I found when the aim vcam becomes live it will not have the same rotation values as the current 3rd person vcam. To fix this select your aim vcam under Transitions check the box that says Inherit Position and now when the aim camera goes live it will have the same rotation values as the 3rd person vcam. You will also want to do this to the 3rd person vcam so when it becomes the live camera it will have the values from the current aim vcam.

[@y_nirny]

Fantastic intro to the new input system. Such a good tutorial that can easily be modified for your own games. I'm going to make two character controllers and switch between them so a nice long tutorial with plenty of info is perfect for me!

[@buddyroach]

how do i make a third-person camera using cinemachine but for a rigid body player instead of a character controller?

[@samyam]

The implementation for cinemachine should be the same, cinemachine just needs a Follow and/or Look At gameobject, how you handle the movement is up to you.

[@dff9080]

thank you 1.000.000 times is just the tutorial I need 😃

[@francescodegallo7176]

great video! quick question: which key are you using to shoot the bullet? followed everything perfectly and no game errors, just missing this tiny info... thanks!

[@MiniaturesMyth]

Amazing tutorial, really good content, thanks so much. I'm having an issue though... My Aim Camera is not rotating with the mouse input while its not top priority. This causes miss alignment and crazy rotations. Any idea what might i be doing wrong?

[@gokamekeck4999]

I have the same problem here, did you find out how to fix it?

[@yairyamagucci9059]

Hi! great tutorial everything worked up until 53:03 I tweaked the Unity Third Person Controller Asset code while following this, the bullets do not spawn when i run i get a error in the console that says NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object StarterAssets.ThirdPersonController.OnEnable () i think it's because the GameObject in their code references the Main Camera is there any way around this?

[@BlueAndy_]

Thanks a lot, i had problems with the character roation orientated to the camera. But thanks to you i could implement your really well working simple method. Thanks a lot.

[@wannurulnajihah]

Hello, all your videos are really helping thank you very much 😭 I have two questions: 1. I wonder if you can control the player using the gamepad (left stick for movement and right stick for the camera) 2. How to switch to another controller if the game can play using both keyboard and mouse, and gamepad

[@baconee7047]

FIX for decals not despawning, replace your "OnCollisionEnter" with this: private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other) { ContactPoint contact = other.GetContact(0); GameObject decal = Instantiate(bulletDecal, contact.point + contact.normal * .0001f, Quaternion.LookRotation(contact.normal)); Destroy(gameObject); Destroy(decal, 5); }

for anyone that is not using a sphere as a bullet it would be wise to change the rotation of the bullet while instantiating it. i did it like this: GameObject bullet = Instantiate(BulletPrefab, GunBarrelTransform.position, Quaternion.LookRotation(cameraTransform.forward), bulletParent); hope it helps.
