How to crouch a FPS Controller?
Hi there can somebody help me? I want to crouch the FPS Controller (default FPS Controller from standard assets of Unity 5.3) but I can't find a way out... I tried this:
if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.C)) {
CameraWithTorch.transform.position = Vector3.Lerp (CameraWithTorch.transform.position,crouchPosition.position,Time.deltaTime * smooth);
check = true;
}
else{
if (check == true) {
CameraWithTorch.transform.position = Vector3.Lerp (CameraWithTorch.transform.position,cameraposition.position,Time.deltaTime * smooth);
check=false;
}
}
but this is incomplete/not working because it works only on the Camera of the Controller... Can someone give me a tip?
ps sorry for the English
GetKeyDown is only true for the first frame the key was pressed down. Lerp will require continuous updates to smoothly transition between your positions. I suggest you take the logic of your crouch out of the input section of your code.
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.C))
{
if (crouching )
{
crouching = false;
}
else {
crouching = true;
}
}
if(crouching) {
CameraWithTorch.transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(CameraWithTorch.transform.position, crouchPosition.position, Time.deltaTime * smooth);
}
else {
CameraWithTorch.transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(CameraWithTorch.transform.position, cameraposition.position, Time.deltaTime * smooth);
}
You will have to resize your character controller to your "crouch height" using height
http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CharacterController-height.html
When you resize its height, it will probably seem like it jumps into the air (its because its resizing it from its center), you can offset this by adjusting the transforms position at the same time. For example...
if (crouching)
{
character.height = 1.0f;
transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y - 0.5f, transform.position.z);
}
else {
character.height = 2.0f;
transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y + 0.5f, transform.position.z);
}
Thank you very much, with character.height it was easier to solve the problem. This is my script now :
if (check)
{
character.height = 1.61f; //crouch height
transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y - 0.4f, transform.position.z);
}
else {
character.height = 3.22f; //player height
//transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y + 0.5f, transform.position.z);
}
I "commented" this line :
//transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y + 0.5f, transform.position.z);
because of the resizing the character looks like it jumps (like what you said)..
