character controller support for RPG

Post by Arcanor »

I've been using "MMO RPG Camera & Controller" by John Stairs. It's working pretty well for me, but I am wondering if there are a couple of recommendations for alternatives that I might check out, just to see how they "feel" in-game.

I also have licenses for:
- UFPS (doesn't work for 3rd person, which I need for my game)
- "Character System" by Robin Schmidt (abandoned)
- plyGame (does waaaaay too much, and seems like overkill)

I did already look at:
- Opsive's "Third Person Controller" (didn't feel right to me, can't run and turn with mouse)

Tony - do you have a favorite implementation or two that you would recommend? I didn't actually try your built-in controller (inside Dialogue System), because I already had the MMORPG controller working. Should I give it a look?

EDIT: I just took another look at Opsive's controller, and tried out their Adventure demo, which actually seemed to do a lot of the things that I thought were "missing" above. Maybe this is my best alternative.

I'm glad you gave Opsive's Third Person Controller another look. It's by far the best controller on the Asset Store.
