How do i make a character and the character controller?
Ive been trying to make a character for a while. I thought i could go to assets>create>avatar body mask. i really have no idea what to do from there, i'm really stumped. but i've figured out how to do a few other things just messing with unity.
This post gave me cancer.
Watch some tutorials, there is tons of them. You clearly don't have any real idea how things work. If you have more spcefic question then feel free to ask but this is new low i think.
Read Unity's official tutorials before you watch any. Video tutorials always have out-of-date or just plain wrong information; you have to educate yourself enough to know what information might be suspect.
I havn't checked the link on EvansGreen answer, but am sure it is excellent. Here is another that may be heplful : http://cgcookie.com/unity/2011/12/05/introduction-to-character-controllers/
Here are some links I strongly suggest to all new users :

"Creating a character" is a broad enough question to be answered shortly, specially considering no previous knowledge on Unity, but if what you are refering to is to create a first person view character that you can move around, what you have to do is just go to standard assets and drag the first person controller that you have there as a prefab into the scene. It contains:
A camera
A capsule with a collider
A character controller script attached
A character motor script
That should, at least, let you navigate your scene in game mode.
It's difficult for me to answer further than this considering I don't understand your question entirely, maybe if you were more specific I could give you better advice. Feel free to comment this answer and I'll answer back.

A short tutorial on how the first person controller works... Not needed really but just in case you're really unfamiliar with Unity...

I understand how to work unity. Ive made a landscape w/mountains and a tree w/wind blowing on it. I didt know there was video tutorials, im sorry.
