Have you thought about a key code to be able to change from first to third person? Similar to the way pubg can use both. But I stead of changing between games, change view during game with the h key for an example

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

@@tmoneygamestudio That's tricky because usually the 3rd person models are completely different from the first person models. So you need to change all of that, it's not as simple as just zooming in. But it's certainly doable!

[@tmoneygamestudio]

@@CodeMonkeyUnity I was thinking like having both the arms, camera and weapon of fps and the entire model and camera for tps and disable on when you switched camera modes. But I'm not that proficient with C# to get the code correct.

Just a quick heads up, after you have the controllers in your project, you can add the new controllers to a scene quickly by clicking on Tools > Starter Assets > Reset Third Person Controller Armature (or First Person) and it will automatically set up the controller for you.

[@zoeypaine7476]

Would be awesome to see how you would adapt these starter assets into other things. Not just a shooter but maybe a melee fighting game too.

[@jeffreyspinner5437]

This is actually extraordinarily useful, because I didn't know you could choose to use the legacy input system. The new input system fubar's everything and makes something trivial, into something that is not at all trivial. Great job Unity! but tyvm Code Monkey, I was starting to refresh my UE4 now UE5 skills, because a player controller shouldn't be rocket science (and I've done the math required to do rocket science). I will try this and see if I can continue to justify the time I spend learning Unity now.

[@anisie.aradis]

Thank you for this nice tutorial. I really liked the parts where you explained some of the properties of the controllers and how you simply added Synty characters to the game!

[@MetalStormGames]

Great video, having player controllers ready on the go saves so much time.

[@jgbuatu]

Awesome. I've been doing the Unity Learn courses to get up to speed, and obviously, a lot of it is from the ground up; so it's amazing to see how many tools exist for bootstrapping a new project. I will definitely revisit this video when I get around to attempting my own game.

[@SABaruj]

I have to thank u this time again, i should download this tutorial because i used it to put a well designed character in the place of this basic one and combined with magic2 terrain, mountains, trees.. i have a good looking character walking, running and jumping in a gigantic map. Recently i was changing the lighting, grass and terrain into a dark and gloomy atmosphere but with barely a tiny fog and everything looks awesome.. thanks for this tutorial. I must say, until now, unity its a pretty simple engine but i dont know anything about C# and i should learn.

@@CodeMonkeyUnity While we're on topic, would it also be possible to include extending the 3rd person starter asset to implemented lock on targeting?

Just in case some cant find the RENDERING post processing tick box, you must install post processing from Unity "All packages" After Install then goto Rendering > Post Processing.

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Depends if you want to use the Built-in Render Pipeline or URP/HDRP When using BRP yes you need to install the Post Processing package, when working with URP/HDRP the Post Processing is automatically included.

Hi CodeMonkey, how do you make it so you can toggle between first person and third person, is that possible? Also, I'm making a multiplayer game, that's mainly in first person so I want the mesh of the character in first person to be that robot from the asset pack or my own mesh and have the same animation, how do I do that? That is so if player2 looks at player1 it will be an actual mesh and not just a capsule. Thanks in advance!

Could you please do a video about how to drop just the Third person character, with animations, and a working follow camera into my own level. I don't want always start with "the playground" and then try to delete all of the walls and blocks.

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

The character is a prefab, so if you just drop that on a new level it should work. It's been a while since I used this but I'm pretty sure it's all organized in a single prefab

[@Shakespeare1612]

@CodeMonkeyUnity The character yes, but what about the follow camera, and the script to let you orbit the camera while still focusing on the avatar? I may be wrong but I don't think that these are all in one pre-fab, and I think they need some settings changes to work just as they do in the "playground".

[@lazytocook]

excellent indeed and the best I have seen for a beginner like me. From this video, am I correct to say I observed that its possible to use many different assets to create an environment you want? Because I notice you used first person controller, third person controller and the asset from Synty. I would like to be able to add to an existing environment. My second question is how for example would i create basic interactivity such as placing things on top, etc?

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Sure you can use whatever assets and build whatever you want. If there's no connection between the assets at all you just add them to the same scene. Like this controller you can add it to any scene with any environment

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

In theory it's as simple as disabling one camera game object and enabling the other one, then you probably also need to enable/disable the 3D model and replace it with some first person hands. That's a relatively complex system to implement, there's no one-click solution

Or, perhaps there is a trick to getting it to work?

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

The avatar must be set to humanoid no both the mesh and the animations. And the avatar that you use in the Animator is the one for the mesh.

It depends on how you set up your camera, if your third person camera has an offset then you could just set that offset to 0 to be on top of the player Or just set up two cameras, one in third person and one in first person, then with cinemachine priority swap between them
