Feel / find the difference This demo is based on the original demo scene, but the First Person controls and collisions system are fully replaced.

Puzzles and JS. Fast and expensive.

If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of meaning at all.

No. It doesn’t use the FirstPersonControls class.

Updated a little. Added smooth animated crouching (Shift). Crouching and jumping can be executed simultaneously (to jump thru a window, for example)

This is good, better than the original. Yet there could be some additional improvements:

* Adding the inertia effect is great and important, but it’s too strong, i.e. coming to rest takes too long, it feels like skating on ice; should be reduced.

* When you scrape along obstacles like the walls with a vector toward the obstacle, the movement speed should go down (friction) the more your vector points to the obstacle.

* You added crouching, how about adding RUNNING too? In most FPS, run is on SHIFT and crouch is on the C key or CTRL.

I know the keymap for FPS but there are some limitations: try to press Ctrl+S, Ctrl+D or Ctrl+W in Chrome of Firefox))) Ctrl+A,S,D can be blocked but Ctrl+W persistantly closes the active tab )))

It’s running, not walking.

It’s already working this way. The speed is reduced according to the angle between the speed vector and the obstacle’s normal vector. Noticable from 45 to 0 degrees. Friction when running along walls? No, have never heard about it. This is a sober character )))

Fixed. Now coming to rest is nearly immediate.

Agree with the “shift = run” comment above. I haven’t played many FPS games but even for me it’s automatic.

Also, it’s possible to look all the way and down, and beyond. My mouse bugged out and I started doing backflips.

Ctrl + (W,A,S,D) and Alt + (W,A,S,D) cannot be used in browsers. The only key left for crouching is Shift. C is not a variant.

Yeap, that was a funny issue. Fixed.

You could implement the crouch as a toggle instead of a permanent hold, that is, pressing the crouch key once makes the character go down and it stays down until the key is pressed again (which ends the crouch). This is actually used in many games and preferable to holding the key down because when you have to crouch for a long time, it starts hurting your fingers.

I could but it would be a little uncomfortable to jump through opened windows ))) If you buy it I can assign any action to any key you ask )))
