# How to create a JU Character / Reskin Default Character / Setup New Characters ## Creating a JU Character 1 - Add the [Humanoid Character](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UsingHumanoidChars.html) model in scene 2 - Click on Create > JU TPS Create > Quick Setup > Player
3 - Choose the best option for your game | Controller Setup Option | Description | | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Advanced TPS | Add complementary components: Foot Placement, Footstep, Body Lean, Drive Vehicles, Procedural Driving Animation, Ragdoll Controller | | Simple TPS | Simple setup, only JU Controller and Footstep | | 2.5D Sidescroller | 2.5D Sidescroller Game setup (it is necessary to use a [Sidescroller Camera](https://julhiecio.gitbook.io/ju-tps-documentation/game-development/game-styles) to work normally) | | TopDown | TopDown games setup (it is necessary to use a [Top Down Camera](https://julhiecio.gitbook.io/ju-tps-documentation/game-development/game-styles)) |

You now have a functional JU Character 😎👍

{% hint style="info" %} Note that you can add or remove components in any setup and configure it according to your project needs. {% endhint %} ## Configuring the JU Character Controller ### Locomotion Settings
Locomotion Mode has three types of locomotion: {% tabs %} {% tab title="Free " %} Default Locomotion, beautiful. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Aways In Fire Mode" %} Always looking forward and in Fire Mode/Attack Mode, is used in [FPS style](https://julhiecio.gitbook.io/ju-tps-documentation/game-development/game-styles/first-person-shooter-style) {% endtab %} {% tab title="JU TPS Classic" %} Free movement when unarmed and always in Fire Mode/Attack mode when selecting a weapon {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} | Locomotion Options | Description | | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Use Default Inputs | Uses standard control buttons | | Set Rigidbody Velocity | Move character by physics, if this is off the movement will not affect the rigidbody physics. | | General Speed | General speed | | Walk Speed | Walking speed | | Crouch Speed | Crouched speed | | Run Speed | Running speed | | Sprint Max Speed | Maximum speed achievable in sprinting | | Rotation Speed | Rotation speed | | Jump Force | Jump force/heigh | | Air Control Force | Strength that the character can move in the air | | Stopping Speed | Locomotion stopping speed | | Max Walkable Angle |

Angles greater than this will cause the character slide.

⚠ Leave it at 0 if you use Gravity Switch system

| | Movement Affects Weapon Accuracy | On moving affects weapon accuracy | | High Inclines Slow Down |

High inclines slow down speed

⚠ Leave it off if you use Gravity Switch system

| | Curved Movement |

Moves the character according to the current direction and not the desired direction

⚠ Leave it off if you use Gravity Switch system

| | Lerp Rotation | Smooth rotation | | Body Lean | The body leans in curves | | Root Motion |

Animation controls movement

⚠ Leave it off if you use Gravity Switch system

| | Auto Run | Automatically run | | \[Auto Run] Walk On Run Button | Stop running when pressing the run button if it is already running automatically. | | \[Auto Run] Sprint On Run Button | When pressed the run button, it will sprint if it is already running automatically. | | Enable Sprint | Enable sprinting | | \[Enable Sprint] Sprint Acceleration | Sprint acceleration | | \[Enable Sprint] Sprint Deceleration | Sprint deceleration | | Decrease Speed on Jump | The character slows down when landing from a jump | | | | ### Item Equiping Here you can write the ID number of the item you want to equip when starting the scene. ### Ground Check | Ground Check Options | Description | | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | | Ground Layer | Layers that Ground Checker will detect as ground | The other options are basically this:
### Auto Step Up Auto Step Up is a system that makes the JU Character Controller go up stairs, similar to the "Step Offset" of the default Character Controller, but with more options. | Auto Step Up Options | Description | | ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Step Correction | Enable Step Up System | | Up Step Speed | Movement speed | | Step Correction Layer | Allowed layers to do step up move | | Step Raycast Distance | Length of sensor ray from ground | | Forward Offset | Forward sensor ray position adjustment | | Step Height | Minimum step height to step up | | Enable Ungrounded Step Up | Makes the character reach wall edges more easily, also prevents flickering on wall edges | | UngroundedStepUp Speed | Speed | | UngroundedStepUp RayDistance | Ray distance (this uses **Step Raycast Distance** as origin) | | Stopping Time on Step Position | You can set a duration so that when your character reaches a wall edge, the character stops moving for an instant, this makes it easier to stay on top of a wall |
{% hint style="warning" %} It is not recommended to leave the **Forward Offset** value less than the **Radius** of the **Capsule Collider** or the Auto Step Up may not work correctly. {% endhint %} ### Fire Mode ***Fire Mode*** is the way the character is prepared to attack, the camera is closer, the character looks forward and wields an item. | Fire Mode Options | Description | | ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Item Aim Rotation Center | It is Fire Mode's item rotation pivot and also handles wielding positions. | | Upper Chest Bone | Upper Chest Bone | | Aim Mode | This variable will define if you will have to hold the aim button or just press it once to aim | | FireMode Max Time | The time it will stay in Fire Mode without interacting, but this option is only useful in [Free Locomotion mode](#locomotion-settings) | | FireMode Walk Speed | FireMode walking speed | | FireMode Run Speed | FireMode running speed | | FireMode Crouch Speed | FireMode crouched speed | {% hint style="info" %} The "Upper Chest Bone" is assigned automatically when the game starts, if the system cannot find the last bone in your character's spine, assign it manually. {% endhint %} ### Animator If you want to create a custom animator or just edit the names of the Animator Controller parameters, this is where you'll edit.
### Default Events These Unity Event options are very useful for calling functions and interacting with other GameObjects without the need for code. | Event Options | Description | | ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Enable Ragdoll When Die | Enable ragdoll physics when character dies, [click here to learn how to setup Ragdoll](https://julhiecio.gitbook.io/ju-tps-documentation/quick-start/how-to-create-a-ju-character-reskin-default-character-setup-new-characters/ragdoll) | | Events | Description | | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------- | | On Death | **Unity Event** called on death | | On Ressurrect | **Unity Event** called on ressurect/respawn | | On Run | **Unity Event** called on start running | | On Sprinting | **Unity Event** called on start sprinting | | On Roll | **Unity Event** called on start rolling | | On Jump | **Unity Event** called on jump | | On Crouch | **Unity Event** called on crouch | | On Get Up | **Unity Event** called on get up from crouch/prone | | On Start Moving | **Unity Event** called on start moving | | On Idle | **Unity Event** called on stop moving | | On Enter Fire Mode | **Unity Event** called on enter Firing Mode | | On Exit Fire Mode | **Unity Event** called on exit Firing Mode | | On Punch | **Unity Event** called on start a punch | ### Controller Options These options are very important to define the JU Character | Controller Options | Description | | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Block Vertical Input | Block Vertical Input from locomotion, useful for sidescroller game type. | | Block Horizontal Input | Block Horizontal Input from locomotion. | | Block FireMode On Cursor Visible | Block FireMode when mouse cursor is visible, useful to access menu/inventory and not shoot accidentally, on mobile it makes no difference. | | Block FireMode On Punching |

Block FireMode when character is punching.

⚠ Leave this false if you are making a FPS Game.

| | Enable Punch Attacks | Enable punch attacks. | | Enable Roll | Enable roll. | | Enable Physical Damage | The character can dynamically take damage when impacting objects with Rigidbody, based on the mass and speed of the collided object. | | Physical Damage Start At | Minimum impact intensity to cause some damage. | | Physical Damage Multiplier | Physical damage intensity. | | Ragdoll Start At | Minimum impact intensity for ragdolls. | | Physical Damage Ignore Tags | Tags that are exceptions, which will not cause damage through physical impact. | | Inverse Kinematics | Enable IK (Inverse Kinematics) | | Right Elbow Adjust Weight | Right arm elbow IK weight | | Left Elbow Adjust Weight | Left arm elbow IK weight | | Look At Body Weight | Body IK weight in LookAt | | Head IK Weight | Head IK weight in LookAt | ### Debug Options These options are for viewing Gizmos that better guide you in configuring JU Character. | Parameter | Description | | ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Only In Edit Mode | Shows debug gizmos **only in edit mode**. Helps to keep the game view clean during play mode. | | Step Up Correction | Toggles the visualization of the **Step Up Correction** gizmos. | | Ground Check | Toggles the visualization of the **Ground Check** gizmo. | | Gizmos Color | Color used for the solid part of the gizmos in the scene view. | | Wire Gizmos Color | Color used for the gizmo wireframe/outline in the scene view. | --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
