How to Move Characters in Unity 3D: Built-In Character Controller Explained [#1]

[@xianead18]

You will probably be the next biggest thing in Unity tutorials after Brackeys with this high-level quality content. Solid work!

[@Mikelica69]

Yes!!!!!

[@digital_comrade]

I'd say this is leagues beyond what Brackeys produced in terms of clarity and depth.

[@xianead18]

@@digital_comrade agreed

[@malachiroberts1465]

Definitely a similar style

I'm a Unity developer since 2015 and believe me, I've seen a lot of tutorials during these years, both free and paid. I have to say yours are the best I've ever seen! Clear, concise, informative and straight to the point! I hope you'll continue this wonderful work of yours in the future because your tutorials are pure gems! Thanks a lot!

[@michaelmcveigh9534]

This could not have come a better time for me. I was just struggling with some of this stuff this morning

[@rivix7546]

I've just got into Unity from not programming or gamedev in 20 years, and by god your tutorials have been a god send! Ty so much.

[@devinhardin765]

This is by far one of the best tutorials I’ve seen so far. I hope you didn’t give up because this is exactly what I’ve been looking for!

[@CosmicComputer]

I have used Unity for YEARS and have never seen any official documentation as in depth and well explained as this. You leave no stone unturned and the community sincerely appreciates your efforts. Everyone watching this better, like, sub and comment, thanks Nicky!

[@tamilmaran4000]

I love the fact that you take your time for quality content, instead of pumping out videos continuously. Great work man. Helping a lot of people. Thanks

[@tamilmaran4000]

@@iHeartGameDev That's awesome man. your tutorials are very crisp and covers everything in the component. waiting for the upcoming ones eagerly.

[@ZombieBowTiie]

I loved the nod to RoyalSkies with that Not a Problem. And I love your tutorials which, if I may, are more of a course than anything. You give an actual broad explanation to things rather than just the narrow specified task at hand. For that, I thank you

[@TheRyanSmee]

I was watching another video and this autoplayed and super I'm glad I didnt switch it off. This was such a clear and simple description of all the properties. Thank you!

[@forsaken559]

OMG THANK YOU!!! I went through hours of "beginner" guides before I could find tNice tutorials and at least make a simple soft... Only video I've

[@recaps_plus]

I know tNice tutorials is an old video but I’m new and thank god I finally found you . Thank you for such an amazing and helpful video ❤️

[@ognjenarsenijevic3444]

Youre actually insanely good at explaining things, and you explained everything without overcomplicating it. Thanks

[@kriptypell8851]

This is the best free software Ive seen. Respect.

[@JubileeCloudJMMC]

I've seen that has actually explained it to in a concise way!

[@FrostshadowStudios0310]

Thanks for your guide on the basic built-in character controller. I'll make it a point to watch your video on the rigidbody method.

[@TNTCProject]

Well done mate, super clear!

[@interstellar1798]

One of the best tutorials ive seen, great work

[@lee1davis1]

Best detailed explanation of the CC I've seen. Added to my must watch playlist.

[@plinyvicgames]

this is unbelievably well made and very cleanly cut, very cool

[@DandinXY]

This series rules! I've been working with Unity character controllers for years, and there were things I learned in the intro video that I've never understood before. Thank you!

[@MrJwoody55]

Thank you Nicky! You have the best Unity tutorials out there. Please never stop making them!

[@iHeartGameDev]

More to come!

[@jamasbsamia2317]

For sure one of the best tutorials I've ever seen, perfect, completely clear with great examples, you are much much better than unity documents, I appreciate it sir.

[@iHeartGameDev]

Thank you so much! Happy to hear it helps out!

[@metin1504]

dude i need this series, can't wait for ep. 2! keep em coming

[@Ghin_Antonic]

Helpful because I had discovered the built in character controller and was going to use it for the game I'm making with a group, but didn't know all it encompasses yet. Will be good to have all this once I finished the world building tool.

[@andiedev2671]

ur channel is like treasure,i could save alot time if i found it earlier haha thx for explaining all the buttons and things in detail

[@KingRecycle69]

I love this. It's always good to know how something works in programming. They should place this video on the documentation page. Can't wait for the next one!

[@DarkParadice]

Awesome video and in depth explanations. Will use this as a reference to anyone who wants to learn because you explained them so well and even had a few things in there that I didn't know. I've always made my own character controllers because I better understand them and I get what I want. This was very insightful even to me and may even help speed up my process.

[@iHeartGameDev]

Thanks so much for the kindness! :D I love to hear that!

[@davidturzak3996]

This. This is how tutorials should be. I love it

[@taykufc]

Man, just want to say... You explain like a boss!!!

[@iHeartGameDev]

Thanks so much mate! -Nicky

[@thewightone7441]

Yo, this video is sick. I had to learn most of this on my own over a few years and I STILL didn't know about the collision collider flags and the character controller callback method. Great work, can't wait for the next video.

[@ohnousagain]

I am an Ergonomist! This is really helpfull!

[@RaskaTheFurry]

oh, this is very nice, this easy visual explanation, rather than digging through docs. Good job. also the move method doesnt just add the vector, it interpolates it, just so the moving is nice and smooth. and that is done by that Delta time

[@wellingtonw9486]

I am very glad that I stumbled upon your video

[@iHeartGameDev]

Thanks! Hope it helps!

[@ThisIsOnlyKurr]

THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL :D

[@simoncodrington]

Great visual breakdown of the movement controller properties mate. Perfectly explains what they do and when you'd use them. Looking forward to more great videos like this.

[@1001Reviews]

Best explanation on youtube

[@ShayminMaster2]

Literally, just started working on a new project with this and had to deduce most of this information myself through trial and error. Thanks! You're going taking the mantle of Brackeys =]

[@AlecAndersonZx]

Fantastic quality video. I rarely see videos that explain everything super well and also give visuals that help you perfectly grasp exactly what's happening. I'm looking forward to new videos in the future!

[@sourcelocation]

Excellent explanation

[@freemoncodes]

This was freaking awesome. Textbook tutorial, you have my thanks

[@chandrahasp6697]

Great video as always! I'll be pointing any beginners to your videos from now on, as you are good at explaining fundamentals than most of the others. Cheers mate!

Very well done. I have been wrasslin with this stuff (which is fun in a way) for a day. You just snapped a bunch of stuff into place. Thanks!

Best tutorials I've seen in ages. Nice work!

[@abhisheksuper20]

Awesome video with simple and easy to understand explanation. What's more better is your direct demonstration in the editor itself. Makes the concept very easy to understand as it can be visualized directly. Keep up the awesome work!!

[@alessandrodossantos235]

THANK YOU!!! You have no idea how much tNice tutorials video helps!

[@018FLP]

My game uses a system similar to Mario Galaxy, so I don't even want to use the built-in controller. BUT your explanations are so perfect, that i'm binging this entire series.

[@MJOb928]

Awesome tutorial. Easily, by far and away the most informative and information packed and accessible unity tute I haven seen on youtube. I love how you use the side by side visual examples to explain. Keep it up and i look forward to watching more 👍

[@gamedevtobe]

Great Video! Very clear and precise explanation! Keep up the good work!

[@michaelwilson8461]

Really nice coverage. There's a million "copy what I do" videos out there. They're great for getting up and running, but having an understanding of the underlying properties goes A LONG way in actually being able to tune something to your needs. Its kind of like that whole "Give a man a fish , vs teach a man to fish " thing (paraphrased lol). Nice work man. One thought though, if at all possible it would be nice if you could slow down just a little. Ive watched on about 0.8 speed just to keep from having to scrub back a couple seconds all the time. When your brain gets old it slows down lol.

[@Lemon-dh4fz]

Браво! Спасибо! Я хочу сделать игру на VR с необычной системой передвижения(граплинхуки, дэши ТД.). В гайдах у кого-то character controller, у кого-то rigidbody. И не мог понять почему они так делают. И пытался объединить оба варианта... Долго мучился. Просто не понимал разницу(и документацию не читал😅). Спасибо за объяснение. Посмотрю все твои видео, уж очень они полезные. Спасибо ещё раз❤ P.s. Я надеюсь Ютуб переведёт это без ошибок.
