Need help adding a jump and dash to my game

Hello! I am a very new programmer trying to learn C#. My friend and I had a concept for a game and we just decided to go for it. Probably my stupidest decision diving in head first like that but I might as well try now. I was wondering how I could add a jump and a dash to my game. Keep in mind this is a third-person open-world type game. Any help would be appreciated.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5.  
6. public class ThirdPersonMovement : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     public CharacterController controller;
9.     public Transform cam;
10.     public float speed = 4f;
11.     public float turnSmoothTime = 0.3f;
12.  
13.    
14.    
15.    
16.     float turnSmoothVelocity;
17.     // Update is called once per frame
18.     void Update()
19.     {
20.         float horizontal = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
21.         float vertical = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") ;
22.         Vector3 direction = new Vector3(horizontal, 0f, vertical).normalized;
23.  
24.        
25.  
26.  
27.         if(direction.magnitude >= 0.1f)
28.         {
29.        
30.  
31.             float targetAngle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.x, direction.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg + cam.eulerAngles.y;
32.             float angle = Mathf.SmoothDampAngle(transform.eulerAngles.y, targetAngle, ref turnSmoothVelocity, turnSmoothTime);
33.             transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, angle, 0f);
34.             Vector3 moveDir = Quaternion.Euler(0f, targetAngle, 0f) * Vector3.forward;
35.        
36.  
37.             controller.Move(moveDir.normalized * speed * Time.deltaTime);
38.          }
39.      }  
40. }  
41.  

 

There are a LOT of tutorials for jump/dash controllers... you probably want to start by working through three or four of these tutorials, get the hang of what's involved.

 

Thank you very much, I will look at some of these

 

I'm very new to Unity and scripting. I followed one of the tutorials listed above but it was for a 2D game with a static camera. How would you apply this script to dash based on the direction of a 3d camera following the player:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5. public class DashMove : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public Vector3 cameraPos;
8.     private Rigidbody rb;
9.     public float dashSpeed;
10.     private float dashTime;
11.     public float startDashTime;
12.     private int direction;
13.     public float distance;
14.     public GameObject dashEffect;
15.     void Start()
16.     {
17.         rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
18.         dashTime = startDashTime;
19.     }
20.     void Update()
21.     {
22.         if(direction == 0)
23.         {
24.             if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A))
25.             {
26.                 Instantiate(dashEffect, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
27.                 direction = 1;
28.             }
29.             else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D))
30.             {
31.                 Instantiate(dashEffect, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
32.                 direction = 2;
33.             }
34.             else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W))
35.             {
36.                 Instantiate(dashEffect, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
37.                 direction = 3;
38.             }
39.             else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.S))
40.             {
41.                 Instantiate(dashEffect, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
42.                 direction = 4;
43.             }
44.         } else
45.         {
46.             if(dashTime <= 0)
47.             {
48.                 direction = 0;
49.                 dashTime = startDashTime;
50.                 rb.velocity = Vector3.zero;
51.             } else
52.             {
53.                 dashTime -= Time.deltaTime;
54.                 if(direction == 1)
55.                 {
56.                     //rb.velocity = Vector3.left * dashSpeed;
57.                     rb.velocity = Vector3.left * dashSpeed;
58.                 } else if(direction == 2)
59.                 {
60.                     rb.velocity = Vector3.right * dashSpeed;
61.                 } else if(direction == 3)
62.                 {
63.                     rb.velocity = Vector3.forward * dashSpeed;
64.                 } else if(direction == 4)
65.                 {
66.                     rb.velocity = -Vector3.forward * dashSpeed;
67.                 }
68.             }
69.         }
70.     }
71. }
72.

You can see an example of "turning" control inputs based on camera heading here:

https://github.com/kurtdekker/proxi...edControls/RotatedControlsPlayerController.cs

Lines 124 through 130 do the magic you need.

 

Awesome, good to know, thanks!
