I am trying to create a first-person walking experience where a character’s walk animation is triggered by pressing a specific key on the keyboard. The camera should follow the character from behind, similar to how it works in many video games. However, I do not want to parent the character to the camera, as I want the user to have the ability to rotate the camera around the character, allowing them to view the front of the character and the surroundings (like in GTA games). Additionally, the character should always stay on the floor.
### Key Queries:
1. How can I assign specific keyboard keys to trigger actions using puzzles in Verge3D?
2. How to do the first person character walk properly like in video games using Verge3D?Thanks in advance.
Pardon if this isn’t exactly spot on, but full credit to kdv for teaching me the basics of keydown here
and if necessary, logic puzzles
If necessary?
Without logic puzzles you will do nothing.While kdv must absolutely be credited for teaching me the fundamentals of keydown/up events, here’s the puzzles for keydown/up events for movement I ended up with eventually. Just change “up” to “forward”, and “down” to “back”
Also, assuming you’re using Blender…
speaking of 3d camera view, a la GTA games, the camera has to be moved around together with the playable character via the above controls, too. Here, the puzzles do so:
Meanwhile, in Blender, the camera verge3d setting must be this, so camera may be controlled via mouse:
that’s quite possible. and even without JS coding ))) but the First Person camera controls won’t do. you’ll have to create your own controls. somethig like shown above…
From my experience, leaving camera Verge3d setting as “orbit” allows the camera angle to be manipulated via mouse, a la FPS shooter, doesn’t it?
the camera has to be moved around together with the playable character via the above controls
As far I understood, you are only moving the camera left and right, Isn’t it?
I’m trying to create a character that moves left, right, forward nd backward. So, is it the same method I need to repeat to give forward nd backward cam movement with the character?to be controlled gta style.
Example
I want to trigger multiple animations, ie Walk animation when walking and Idle animation for the rest of time.
Unlike the example shared by kdv, I’m trying to trigger the animations when the Keys are pressed, not in the event of clicking any mesh.I have tried as below (PFA) but it’s not triggering the specified animation.
What’s the right way to do this?
