# Simple Third Person Controller

A Unity-based third-person character controller created entirely from scratch without relying on Unity's built-in character controller. This project is designed to provide developers with a foundational, fully customizable third-person control system for 3D games. It demonstrates how to build essential movement mechanics using only Unity's core components and C# scripting. Whether you're building an action-adventure game, an RPG, or any 3D project requiring character movement, this controller serves as a starting point for learning and development.

## 🚀 Features

- **Third-Person Movement**: Smooth character movement using standard input controls.

- **Camera Control**: Cinemachine is used to control camera.

## 📂 Project Structure

- **SimplePlayerControllerExample/**: Contains all project resources such as scripts, prefabs, and scenes.

- **SimplePlayerControllerExample/Scripts/**: Includes C# scripts for character and camera controls.

- **SimplePlayerControllerExample/Scenes/**: Pre-configured demo scene showcasing the controller in action.

## 🛠️ Getting Started

### Prerequisites

- **Unity**: Version 2021.3.21f1 LTS or later. It is also compatible with Unity version 6000.0 or newer.

- Make sure to import **Cinemachine** and **New Input System** from Unity Registry.

- Familiarity with Unity and C# scripting is helpful but not mandatory.

### Installation

1. **Clone the repository**:

   ```bash

   git clone https://github.com/PradeepGameDev/SimpleThirdPersonController.git

or


1. Download Unity package [SimpleThirdPersonController](Assets/SimpleThirdPersonController.unitypackage) inside **Assets** folder.

### Open the Project

1. **Launch Unity Hub**.

2. Click **Open** and select the folder where you cloned the repository.

or


2. Create new or Open any existing project and import downloaded package from **Assets->Import Package->Custom Package**.

### Run the Demo

1. Open the demo scene from the `Scenes` folder.

2. Press the **Play** button to see the third-person controller in action.

## 🎮 How to Use

### Player Controls

- Use the default **WASD/arrow keys** for movement.

- Rotate the camera using the **mouse**.

> Note: Make sure the **ground layer** and **player's** layer is not same. Because it can cause **IsGrounded** to be true always.

### Customize Controls

### Extend the Controller

- Add your own animations, abilities, or interactions to expand functionality.
