How do I set up a player controller in Unity?

To set up a player controller in Unity, you can use the Character Controller component. Would you like a step-by-step guide?

Yes, please provide the steps.

1. Create a new GameObject and add a Character Controller component. 2. Write a script to handle movement. 3. Use Input.GetAxis for movement controls. 4. Attach the script to the GameObject.

What about jumping and gravity?

You can add jumping by checking if the player is grounded and applying a vertical force. Use Physics.gravity for gravity effects.

Can you show me an example script?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour {
    public float speed = 5f;
    public float jumpForce = 5f;
    private CharacterController controller;
    private Vector3 velocity;

    void Start() {
        controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
    }

    void Update() {
        float x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        Vector3 move = transform.right * x + transform.forward * z;
        controller.Move(move * speed * Time.deltaTime);

        if (controller.isGrounded && Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")) {
            velocity.y = Mathf.Sqrt(jumpForce * -2f * Physics.gravity.y);
        }
        velocity.y += Physics.gravity.y * Time.deltaTime;
        controller.Move(velocity * Time.deltaTime);
    }
}

This script handles basic movement and jumping.
