Juiced Up First Person Character Controller Tutorial - Godot 3D FPS

In this video we create a first person character controller for Godot 4 from scratch. We also add a range of game feel features including headbob, sprinting, fov change, and inertia. This controller can be used for a variety of Godot 3D first person games, including FPS, horror, survival, RPG, etc. All of this code works with Godot 4.1.

As badunius pointed out, a capsule shape is better for collision because it is a simpler shape. When you're creating a collision shape make sure to use that. This has been updated on github. Also make sure to turn on collisions for any CSG boxes you add or you will fall through the floor.

[@pixels_per_minute]

One of the best First Person tutorials I've ever found for Godot. A LOT of other videos seem to throw out the sample code for far more complex code that just dose the same basic stuff in a different way. I like how you just build off it instead, and provided us with a simple, yet highly configurable base. I also learned a few tricks I can apply in my 2.5D character controller since it also uses the same sample code. From here, I'll be looking to add in a raycast system in order to see what the player is looking at and maybe a menu system, which I now know how to do thanks to people like you!

[@legiongames2400]

Thank you friend! :) I'm really glad I get to help out

[@badunius_code]

0:45 technically capsule collision shape gotta be better for perfomance, because you have to solve just one primitive collision, whereas a convex hull is solved on per face basis.

[@legiongames2400]

Oh yeah that actually makes sense.

[@deadturret4049]

way better for performance. You could argue that the capsule is calculating 3 shapes, (2 spheres, 1 cylinder), but the calculations to do those is ludicrously simple and fast. Switching to face collisions is not great.

[@Spuds1411]

I've always just used a cylinder for character collisions! I've found its the simplest possible shape which also gives the best results for collisions!

5:15 or even better, you can rotate your entire body along the Y axis and not just your head. Shadows will give you away if you'll switch to a non symmetrical body.

[@legiongames2400]

Very good point.

[@Jacklo-the-catsect]

thank you for this, until I rotated the head, the body didn't rotate, and so I looked backwards then walked forwards, I'd be going backwards, but rotating the body fixed that.

[@SuitedGhost]

​@@Jacklo-the-catsect well thats cause you multiplied the direction by the forward vector of your actual player, not your head (not trying to justify using the head, just sayin)

[@cassis2325]

This fix is also better in the way that now your starting rotation of the body doesn't have to be zero in the engine. Now you can rotate the entire body to your hearts content in the engine without it messing up local an worldposition's whilst walking

[@mattg6550]

Just for anyone running into trouble here, you will be replacing head.rotate_y(-event.relative.x * SENSITIVITY) with rotate_y(-event.relative.x * SENSITIVITY) to accomplish this, since if we rotate_y (or do any translations or rotations without specifying what we are translating or rotating) we will enact this on the 'scene' that the script is attached to, in this case the root "Player"

[@DonGeorgesTheThird]

Really great video! Small question though, any chance you can make a follow-up video showing how to handle a controller for motion? I mean, the direction is pretty straight forward as it is a simple mapping of the (in my case) left joystick to the created action (not to mention the jump and sprint buttons) but the camera adjustments are kind of tricky as the game listens to mouse move events (as an input) and for the joystick, it feels like the modification should happen in the _process or _physics_process code rather than from the event itself.

[@DonGeorgesTheThird]

Right, after a tiny bit of fiddling, I found it out. Sharing cause it might be useful for someone. The first thing I did was to export the 3 lines handling the rotation in the _unhandled_input function to a dedicated function _handle_rotation taking x, y and sensitivity as parameters. I make sure to pass the final values of x and y (i.e. -event.relative.x). I pass the sensitivity as I want to have a different sensitivity for mouse move and joystick. So I created the input for the right joystick (look_up, look_down, look_left, look_right) and in the _physics_process, I get the values the same way I get them for the movement (Input.get_vector). If the return value is not Vector2.ZERO, I call the _handle_rotation function. Done.

Hey! I know this is a bit late for a 2 months old video but can you also show me how we can implement the crouch mechanic as well the slide? That would be very helpful from you, Great tutorial by the way!

[@ince55ant]

for crouching, just scale down the collision on vertical axis and lower the camera position. also you should do a line trace when uncrouching to make sure your character has the space to stand up for sliding do the same stuff but also stop using the player input for movement/velocity but instead store the forward direction when the slide is first activated and use it for the movement, then decelerate to taste until equal to crouched walkspeed then start using normal crouching behaviour. also make a state machine for movement. i.e. make an enum for movement states like walking/crouched/sliding. then use a switch/match statement to set the velocity in the way each of those states requires

[@LexGear]

Super helpful.

[@user-un2vb8mr6e]

Is there a reason for walk/sprint values being const? If you wanted to add a speed boost or something would it still make sense to structure this way?

[@rickymolnar]

Think of the constant values as a base value that everything else builds off of. If you want to add a speed boost, do something like WALK_SPEED * 2.0 to double their speed. Then, when the boost disappears it reverts back to whatever the base speed is.

4:48 That's weird, but when I use clamp, it seems to work like in the video if I move mouse slowly. If I pull the mouse up/down sharply, z index of the camera goes crazy. It rotates around itself.

[@GorgeousPuree]

The reason for that is I manipulated Camera's coordinates. I should've created a Node3D object as a parent of camera (basically what it's shown in this tutorial). But I thought there's no difference. If you work with Camera's rotation, you may face Gimbal lock, as I was told.

Short answer is don't change it to 60 per second. I changed it to 144 because I had that jitter since my monitor has a higher refresh rate.

[@dt295]

I don't know if I did something wrong or what, but when i did the FOV part from the video, I felt something was off when trying it in the game. When jumping, the script seems to take the speed of the jump momentum and that causes the fov to change, making a strange wave of the fov, going up, down and up, which I didn't like at all. So trying things for like an hour or 2 (with the absolutely little I know about Godot, this is the first video I've seen of Godot, which is very good) I changed this part of the script: var velocity_clamped = clamp(velocity.length() - velocity.y, 0.5, SPRINT_SPEED * 2) It seems that by subtracting velocity.z from velocity.length(), the wave disappears and not only that, but now the fall feels much more powerful the higher you are (but it seems to have a limit), it's quite good. I hope it helps someone, and if I'm wrong about anything, please let me know. I want to thank the creator of this video, because with such a short video, and even me speaking another language natively, it gave me the possibility to try to do things on my own in the code, despite it being the first time I touched it , thank you so much.

hey, when i let go of sprint it jumps back down to the base fov instead of interpolating back so im trying to add that. how would i go about doing that? i added a line before the camera fov lerp to do it upon pressing the sprint buton, but i cant figure out how to make it lerp back down to the base fov when i release the sprint button EDIT: cant figure out how to do it how i described above but i found if i put the camera lerp under an if SPRINT_SPEED statement it changes your fov depending on the characters velocity. im not experienced with coding at all so i dont know if this is a dumb way to do it but it looks and feels good for the parkour type of game im going for

Hey if you're copying the code the FOV shouldn't be jumping around. Could you double check that you have a target FOV like I do and that you're interpolating the camera FOV towards it? Another reason could be that you're interpolating but with a very high delta so it looks like it's jumping. Would you mind copy pasting your FOV code in here?

4:48 the camera ends up spinning on the z axis, i think ive done everything right. Saw someone with a similar problem in the comments but theirs was because of the way they did their node, mine are the same as yours tho.

thank you!

Thank you for watching! :)

the mouse sensitivity changes depending on the window size. Can you prevent this by dividing it by the screen size?

[@legiongames2400]

Wasn't aware of that. Yeah, that wouldn't be difficult to do, you figure out what you want the baseline size of the screen for your sensitivity to be. Then you can use get_viewport().size and divide your baseline x and y sizes by it to get the number you want to multiply your inputs by.

So I did everything and it was working fine and then I tried to do a prefab out of the player node and now @onready var head = $Head @onready var camera = $Head/Camera3D gives me : @_ready(): Node not found: "Head" (relative to "/root/player") etc I tried to go back and it still gives me this error. I'm kinde of confused.

Thank you for this tutorial! I am planning on making an infinite tower climber with this. For some reason, when I pressed the w key I went backwards, and the s key made me go forward. I switched which one was in the input for up and down, and that seemed to fix it. Do you know why it may have happened?

[@legiongames2400]

Thank you friend! :) It sounds like the camera might be facing the wrong way?

@@legiongames2400 Thanks, that seemed to fix it. I am now subscribed.

if Input.is_action_pressed("zoom"): var target_fov = -10.0 camera.fov = lerp(camera.fov, target_fov, delta * 8.0) code for zoom function. (note: add a zoom input key in the project settings)

Whenever i was adding the head bob it stoped letting my look around after i got the code at 6:56 ?
