How to use Third Person Controller in Unity5's Standard Assets

Guidelines for ThirdPersonController is the same as the one come with Unity 4.6:

1) Start with a suitable scene. There ought to be enough flat ground to walk around on.

2) Place the "ThirdPersonCharacter" prefab in the scene.

3) Unfold the ThirdPersonCharacter hierarchy in the hierarchy window, and delete the "Ethan" child object.

4) Place your own character model as a child of the ThirdPersonCharacter, in place of Ethan.​

...(etc)

But in step 3), there is no "Ethan" object. There are only EthanBody, EthanGlasses and EthanSkeleton. If I replace them with my model, then there is no animation. In play mode, my model just stays in T-pose forever. It moves, but there is no "running animation", "jumping animation",... and so on.

I used to work with Unity 4.6 and its Standard Asset, and everything is ok, but with Unity 5?

Thank you so much.

 

Hey I figured out
1. You must create Animator and Avatar for your Model.
2. Replace Child ("Ethan") of the Prefab "ThirdPersonController" from Standard Assets with your Model.
3. In "Inspector" of "ThirdPersonController" object, find "Animator" component, and choose your Model's Avatar (that you created at step 1) as it Avatar.
Sorry if my English was bad, but I hope you got the point

 

Thanks for this info. Not sure why Unity Devs didnt bother explaining.

 

Here is a really good tutorial walking you through how to use the character controller asset on UnityChan:

If anybody knows how to modify the script even further to where you can make her walk backwards, or use the mouse to guide her in a direction then please let me know!

Hey UnityLong5! Have you changed your models rigs from generic to humanoid. Hope this helps!

 

Its not possible to get assets via unity download archive...url doesn't work , file not found.

 

The best advice is to learn how the components interact with each other and do yourself a favor use c#. Even if you buy assets to do what you have asked for you still need to learn how it all works. Best of luck, you can do it.
Cheers.
