Make my character crouch using the First Person Character from Unity Standard Assets

Hi. I'm trying to code so my character can crouch using the first person character from Unity Standard Assets, but with no success. Have someone manage how to do it?

Here is the script:

1. using System;
2. using UnityEngine;

It won't just be code: there will be more animations necessary for crouching: transition in, transition out, crab walk, idle while crouched... once you have those plumbed into the MecAnim state machine, then set up properties and drive them at the appropriate places in the above script.

I also don't know what the colliders look like on that figure, but odds are they would need to be adjusted to something smaller if you want to be able to pass under low objects that block you when standing.

 

Yes, I have the animations. But the problem is that the camera will not lower down as for example is already set for the jump state to go up

 

Looks like the two-state if block at line 207-219 above would have to be adapted to whatever states you are using to decide if you are crouched or not.

The actual tested condition is two fold: speed magnitude and also groounded... probably want to break that up so you can decide what mode the camera should be in.

Or else replace the camera with Cinemachine control (a package from Unity)... it seems to do a lot of useful stuff.
