Touch Third Person Character Controller in Unity 2018 🎓

This time I will show how to implement a thirdperson controller with touch gestures. If you want to make a third person shooter for mobile devices, then this video could be helpful to find a start how to implement your game logic. I will show you three methods: AutoLook &JoystickLook, TouchLook.
I tried to keep this video as short and simple as possible.

See project files here: bit.ly/ditzelgames See updated video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6W2pWCQmqqNhKM Fix the error "inputVector": 1) Find the script in the project name “Joystick”. 2) open the script “Joystick”. 3) find the string “protected Vector2 inputVector = Vector2.zero” and change that to “public Vector2 inputVector = Vector2.zero”. 4) save the script “Joystick”. That is all 😊 good luck! >:)

Hi I keep on getting this error and I'm just following what you do "Assets/ThirdPersonInput.cs(26,39): error CS1540: Cannot access protected member `Joystick.inputVector' via a qualifier of type `FixedJoystick'. The qualifier must be of type `ThirdPersonInput' or derived from it"

[@tonynealis1165]

I can't find CS1540 error on internet, so if you still need help, my guess would be that the qualifier has to be thirdpersoninput, or as noted, dervied from it, in other words from the class, I believe so the api used would have to be from that class ( as I understand coding, i'm far from an expert). Hope you got it figured out, as I often ask here, there everywhere and months, days can go by with no answer,,I think engines should do a far better job, and none of them do great, - but then Unity as the others, has paid support, so ---sadly that may be whats going on here--and others have limited time - blah blah. Regardless, sorry your answer went 2 wks with nothing, and I hope my answer steers you in right direction.

[@Nnjaaaaaaa]

hi @tony nealis thank you for the response, I removed this kind of feature in the game I'm currently developing for out thesis and I think my error was due to the version of my unity. Replaced joystick movement with click to move. I still can't derive codes because I'm still trying to learn about the codes and their different functions but I still thank you for the suggestion.

[@user-ug6vd8ud1v]

I launch project APK and everything is pink. Why may this happen?

[@alfonsotorres2302]

amigos en la nueva actualizacion del assent (Joystick Pack) para corregir el error se encuentra la variable con input en la clase Joystick.cs => private Vector2 input = Vector2.zero;

[@natalieweishuhn521]

All, for those of us in Unity 2019.3 or above, with the inputVector issue, here's how to fix it. 1) ThirdPersonInput section will be "Control.Hinput = LeftJoystick.input.x; Control.Vinput = LeftJoystick.input.y;", NOT inputvector 2) Find the script in the project name “Joystick”. 3) Open the script “Joystick”. 4) Find the string “protected Vector2 input = Vector2.zero” and change that to “public Vector2 input = Vector2.zero”. 5) Save the script.

Hello, how can I look in multiple directions rather than having it only turn left and right like you showed? @DitzelGames

[@rmzzz76]

I commend you for this. It's really unacceptable that player controller behavior for touch devices isn't boiler plate and provided direct by Unity through, at minimum an official asset store package... Unity3D does so very little for their developers when it comes to core generic functionality, this is where Unreal Engine destroys them... Such a simple fix on their part, such a pity.
