Sykoo hi Sam!

[@Brackeys]

Thanks man! Great seeing you at GDC, keep up the good work! :)

[@sykoo]

Brackeys no worries man, it was great to finally meet you guys in person. =)

[@michaelbeee3801]

What I appreciate a lot here is the lack of repetition of information. It is so annoying, hearing the same simple things over and over again. You come directly to the point and if I miss something, I can go back. Good job, as well your being is awesome! Keep it up!

[@potaterjim]

I'd love to see a deep dive that explains how the third person controller utilizes that animation controller, so that we can animate our own characters and create custom animation controllers to plug into the third person character script

[@leonardovelho]

Two years from this video and is beeing so helpful. I'm using Unity for Automation and IoT, not for game dev. Your videos are awesome and keep helping me so much. Thanks! Wish you all success!

[@dhruv3073]

I'm 15, about to dive into the world of game development to figure out what I am good at. I have been watching your videos for the past few weeks and you have thought me a bunch! Thanks for everything man 💪

[@danielm7755]

Congratulations Brackeys! You totally earned to be sponsored by Unity! Great work mate!

[@Oxmond]

Excellent tutorial! 🤓👍 We miss you Brackeys 🧡

[@CamoflaugeDinosaue]

I had no idea you could customize NavMesh Agents that much. I wish Unity documented these functions better. Thanks Brackeys!

[@leftyfourguns]

Love the new nav mesh and agent updates and love your tutorial. You've gotten so good at doing this over the past few years.

[@joshuabidwell2614]

So happy Unity are sponsoring you mate :D Keep up the wonderful tutorials

[@hermandarr6274]

As Sykoo said......you rock at Unity

[@fyrefly6631]

great tutorial, thanks! i would love to see an extension of this with ramps up/down terrain and maybe a jump down off heights or climb up.

[@orlovskyconsulting]

This great, Unity3D team take lot of work to make such functionality happen and thanks to Brackeys.

[@tylerguitar75]

Brackey's videos are better than the official Unity videos ;-)

[@abdojohnson2289]

Thank you , for the first time I click the bell of a youtube channel

[@mrturtledev]

Brackeys has done it again! Good job, I’m making my own game I hope it goes well

[@Felewin]

What I find ridiculous about this setup is that ThirdPersonCharacter is moving the player by setting the rigidbody velocity, while the NavMeshAgent on the player is moving the player as well. To verify this, I tested commenting out the ThirdPersonCharacter's velocity setting and the player still moves via NavMeshAgent. Shows how this is a quick hack and not a very organized solution. I appreciate Brackeys showing us this tutorial, but I wish that: • 8:05 wasn't misleading (the animation is NOT driving the player forward, nor is the ThirdPersonCharacter (which is stated "does exactly this"), rather the NavMeshAgent is the cause of movement) • there was a cleaner solution more readily available

[@harrison1657]

mind sharing a link for another solution?

[@3rdClassFilms]

Do you have a NavMeshLink for your mouse cursor or why is it just teleporting to the left side of the screen at 2:25 ? xD

[@PhoeniXGuyzZ]

Hey Brackeys... Could you please make tutorials of using animator controller with blend trees and scripts to access the animations in it. That would be very helpful for me..

[@armintakacs7186]

check out SharpAccent's youtube channel

[@onezerodev1756]

I love this navMesh series. Good Luck

[@DanyloSyrotynskyy]

Great! I develop game with unity since 2012 but still found many interesting stuff

[@Centreus]

Thank you for this awesome tutorial Brackeys! you are the #1 You tuber in my oppinion

[@cammasgv]

hey thanks for the tutorials I have come from being a noob at unity to be a level designer and programmer thank you :)

[@thanhdodeur8296]

Also if you want your character to move while the mouse button is kept down you can replace at line 21 of PlayerController: if(Input.getMouseButtonDown(0)) by if(Input.GetAxis("Fire1") > 0f) .

[@JaiArah]

Thanks so much for this! This is exactly what I needed today and then I saw the upload.

[@SinanAkkoyun]

When you get sponsored by the company your tutorials are based on 😍 So cool tutorials!!! Just what we need! But can you show us how to set up our raw blender models and animation to make something like LowMan?

[@nathanjensen2675]

Awesome! Please keep going with this series! One thing I can’t seem to figure out is using off mesh links and using a jump animation. A video on that would be great! Keep up the good work!

[@iangraham6730]

[@pandarzzz]

Thank you for awesome video! I find your video very informative and easy to follow! :)

[@darkmattergamesofficial]

I have a question. Using this blend tree system, how could you implement animations such as firing a gun or picking up an object?

[@holmbergen]

Great video Brackeys, animations are freaking hard. This video gave me some ideas how to improve my animations in my WIP game. :)

[@RahmatSiswanto]

Thank you so much,, i subscribed this channel 2 or 3 years ago because i enjoy you you explain every step, it's easy for me to follow. I hope one day i can develop my own game :)

absolutely ! I have learned a lots of things from here! and this is what I was looking for thanks for upload!

I could't find character conroller script 8:46

[@hamzahgamedev]

As always amazing quality content! With the help of brackeys I learned Unity and now I have my own Assets on the Asset Store! :) It's quite funny that my best selling Asset is also Zombie Artificial Intelligence package! :D

[@mtthwxiong]

If your character is stuck mid-air, change the ground check distance to 0.2 or something.

[@icaroamorim3123]

How do I trigger a jump animation when crossing the link? Also, Can I controll the parabola of the jump?

[@AviVajpeyi]

Yeah I had the same question, right now when I add a link, my character just looks like he is squatting in the sky lol

[@skyacaniadev2229]

Depends on whether you want to control jump through rootmotion or unity physics. But it all involves in using scripts to manipulate animator parameter. And you need jump animation for both.

[@damianb_ca]

I fell in love with this navmesh series, but there is one more thing that i still sruggle with... I wonder if there is any possibility to make something like ladder or wall climbing, if it is, it would help me a lot if you could make a tutorial :)

[@abdelhakwinston6200]

[@andrewkerr9438]

This is super useful, thanks.

[@alejmc]

Amazing vids, makes NavMesh understanding so accessible, chewing through them one after another. Thanks for the share. Edit: where all these assets come from? The lowman, the animations, the humanoid controller? Is it included with the standard assets of unity?

[@ghua]

navmeshagent and the character live their own, separate lives meaning first goes forward quickly and the second one is lagging behind :) any ideas anyone?

[@Shavier]

For those asking how to implement the jump animation, it is already done, the character recognize the link as "jump" so try move your character across the links and it will automatically "jump"

[@shul5684]

so in 2019 unity this is now called off mesh link :(... damn it's hard to follow when you are using a different version of unity.

[@necrago]

It's not that different now from what it was in this video. Try looking stuff up on google or even browsing the comment section for these new differences. This did just help me

[@committedcoder3352]

I have a question that maybe can be addressed as a reply to this comment or in a future video, how would you make it so that it doesn't always go top speed? I would like it so I can specify whether it is running or walking.

[@Xboy_9]

do you think you can show us how to make a cutscene like the in game ones and the actually animated ones? please i really want to know how to do it thank you

[@joshwin2557]

very well done can you show this done by using the first person controller. i want it to be a running obstacle course type game and want his lags and arms to move is it the same method?

[@markusbrunolsen6461]

Does anyone know if Brackeys will be joining in to Loudum Dare 41?? And if he is will he be streaming it??

MORE MORE NAVMESH TUTORIALS

[@zakariakaddour4120]

Awesome tutorial as always! but I hope you continue with the how to make an rpg in Unity series

[@HassanGanari]

Can anyone please tell me who is behind the lowman asset in this tutorial ? Is it Brackeys or someone else ? Could not find any info ! Thanks a lot.

[@aldigangster123]

Apparently this solution only works then the Animation driven (root motion) speed & acceleration are exactly matching up with the NavMeshAgent collider. In my project, I can't get em to match up with this simple code. I would also suspect, that his code solution (even with apparent matching of NavMeshAgent and ThirdPersonCharacter/Rigidbody) could lead to bugs, where the rigidbody for example gets blocked by an object (-> stops character) while the NavMeshAgent collider is able to continue. The character would then stop on a different position. While NavMeshAgent has arrived the destination. This could be bad for games where the character needs to end on a exact position for playing an animation, e.g. sitting down on a chair. He would sit down mid-air. So I'm looking for a more save solution. :\

[@SoulssWeaver]

More about these complex animations please!!

[@jackpeterson1909]

Hey Brackeys, could you make TPS tutorial series?

[@ianfield17]

I cant drag the Third Person Character script onto the Character slot. Can anyone help me?

[@ianfield17]

Its also saying that parts of the standard assets scripts are obsolete. Would that be related to the problem?

[@minimal9461]

Could you do a video on how to do animation, it's a bit I really struggle with, it would be super useful to have tutorials for that in your format?

[@xoloser3]

When you watch part 2, and part 3 gets uploaded as you watch it. :)

[@nickgennady]

Is there ways to program how the agent moves using a navmesh link. An example would be ladder movement.

[@YulRun]

Please do an in-depth video series on Animating characters/locomotion not the rigging/actually animating portion done in things like blender, but the part where you create avatar/controller and all that fun stuff in Unity :D

[@gilbachar6944]

Brackeys your videos are really helping and you’re explaining what you do very good so we can understand all the code. Can you do a video about AI?

[@matthewgoodman]

looks great!

Could you use navmesh for an rpg style game? I’m gonna try and use this and blend some things from your rpg tutorial into this, it’s gonna be cool

Hello , can you make a tutorial or give me an advice on "on key down jump to next waypoint" , i want my character move only on key down , and waypoint to waypoint. Thank you in advance!

[@iamnobody8]

Would be nice to see a tutorial how to make a good looking vault and climbing

[@KhaledAhmedYounes]

Love your tutorials :D Is there a chance we could get a tutorial on Asset Bundles?

[@appmagician3240]

Great vid Brackeys. However, I am working on a game with procedural generation at runtime and I am using a Local Nav Mesh Builder script. Maybe that could be interesting to show your subscribers as well

[@rnakasako]

You know... nav mesh links are useful - that is until you have to create realistic animation for your character and there is no teleportation in the game. Sometimes I just wish we could control - or obey the speed of the nav mesh agent instead of "Teleporting" from one side to the other. Is there a way to do so in script? Thanks!

[@garethrhodes7830]

Crazy! Can this still work if the character also has to aim a weapon while they're moving?

[@Gredran]

Look up his other tutorial called “Animation Rigging”. He teaches about constraints where you can set empties in other game objects and then something those empties influence to make them be followed. He uses the example of making a character always lock its head and follow you no matter where you go

[@callofzon6544]

Hey my Ai isn't animating anything except idle I have the third person controller applied but it isn't working properly. do you know why? and do you want me to make a forum post on unity about it?

[@um-vl6on]

hey could you make a tutorial how to make an animated counter attack like in batman arkham games/shadow of mordor/assasins creed series? I think that system could also be implemented to make a grapple/takedown attack. so it's a very important tutorial. Would you please consider making that? thanks

[@zamnodorszk7898]

Is there any way to add potentials to NavMeshes? I.e. there's a preferred path but it can expend "energy" to go a different less efficient path. (Think of walking on roads Vs walking on grass)

[@chaosmastermind]

Player is T-posing to assert dominance.

[@Kino-Imsureq]

Hello Brackeys. Is there a way to add VFX in unity 3d as if particles and images were overlaid on the actual visual image? example: what you currently see now + a donkey image at the center of your visual area. what you currently see now + brackets everywhere in your visual area do you understand? im bad at speaking english sorry.

[@hiagorqueiros]

I have been accompanying your videos for a long time and it has helped me a lot in college, I would like to learn how to do a character animation control with Blend trees, if I can make one I would be very happy, thanks for the videos.

[@audemkay]

This is a great series of tutorials. How would you go about making a flying entity AI though?

[@SinanAkkoyun]

How do you smooth out your player in order to simulate counter velocity to stop him?

[@debeerpaul]

How do I reference UnityStandardAssets? Its not included in the 2019 version of Unity.

i downloaded his project and everything is working fine. you can just copy the files from his project into your project

[@msgaramycin5330]

Also download standard assets on asset store

[@iziaulla]

Hey Bro, so I understand the concept of creating a navMesh offMeshLink if the character has to jump across a gap. However, I can't figure out why my navMesh won't traverse an offMeshLink that is vertical where it has to climb. I've tried setting up the OffMeshLink both automatically and manually, but no luck. I appreciate it very much if you can do a tutorial on that

[@phlippbergamot5723]

Is there a way to link NavMesh for things like an elevator that moves between different levels of floors?

[@Lukas99g]

Wait so can you make a moving platform between 2 platforms and make it so the agent waits on the moving platform until he gets to the other one

[@kristianthaler6525]

Quick question: would it be possible or make sense to use navMesh links to create tile-movement for a ff tactics-like game?

[@reversible8740]

Could you please do a tutorial on inverse kinematics?
