Unity: Movement System

This page is under active development. Refer back later for more details.

Double click Assets/Scripts/Input/PlayerInput to get the action mapping window

Our inputs are currently in InputManager.cs, which contains a few settings and the inputs we determined from the design meeting. It is a singleton, which allow sother scripts to easily access it. Use GetMovement/GetJump/GetCrouch methods on the Player game object.

Character Controller is a Unity-handled movement system, allows options like gravity, speed, etc.

Update should handle player actions, FixedUpdate handles physics events and is better for most things.

Player is allowed to jump if a sphere drawn at their feet collides with the ground.

InputManager has a toggleCrouch which changes behavior to a toggle instead of holding it down. There is also a crouchScale that determines how low crouching goes. In the future, we may decrease movement speed while crouching.
