Custom C# Crouch Script

Hey,

I know there are some similar questions out there. I have already looked int to them but most of them are written in Java- respective Unityscript, with which I’ m quiet unfamiliar. So I come up with this one.

To get used to the scripting with Unity, I try to work out erverthing by myself. I’m currently working trough a C# book at the same time, so potentally the problem is the poor understanding by myself for this language.

I came up with, like the title says, a charctercontroller script and tried to add a crouching ability. So this is the code I came up with (I erased the unnecessary code):

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour {

	public float movementSpeed = 5.0f;

	public float rotationSpeed = 5.0f;
	float verticalRotation = 0;
	float rotationBoundary = 60.0f;

	public float jumpSpeed = 0.0f;
	float verticalVelocity = 0;

	float ccSizeCrouch = 2;
	int crouchOffset = 1;
	float cameraCrouchOffset = - 0.75f;

	//Methoden Deklaration





	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () 
	{
		Screen.lockCursor = true;



	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () 
	{
		//Kamera Drehung zum Umschauen
		
		float lookHorizontal = Input.GetAxis ("Mouse X") ;
		transform.Rotate (0, lookHorizontal, 0);
		
		verticalRotation -= Input.GetAxis ("Mouse Y") ;
		verticalRotation = Mathf.Clamp (verticalRotation, -rotationBoundary, rotationBoundary);
		
		
		//Speichert die Kamera Rotation als Quaterion Euler um sie mit Vector 3 verwenden zu können
		Camera.main.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler (verticalRotation, 0, 0);



		//Hier wird die Bewegung eingerichtet
		CharacterController cc = GetComponent<CharacterController>();

		//Ermöglicht dem Char zu springen

		if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Jump") && cc.isGrounded) 
		{
			verticalVelocity = jumpSpeed;
		
		}

		//Schwerkraft

		verticalVelocity += Physics.gravity.y * Time.deltaTime;

		//Grundlegende Bewegung auf den Achsen
		float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
		float moveVertical = Input.GetAxis ("Vertical");
		Vector3 movement = new Vector3 (moveHorizontal, verticalVelocity, moveVertical);

		//Sprinten

		if (Input.GetButton ("Run")) 
		{
			movementSpeed = 10.0f;
		} 
		else 
			movementSpeed = 5.0f;

		//Setzt den neuen Transform in Abhänigkeit von Rotation
		movement = transform.localRotation * movement;
		cc.Move ((movement * movementSpeed)*Time.deltaTime) ;

		Implementrierung von Crouch

		if (Input.GetButton ("Fire3"))
		{

			CharacterController CrouchHeight = (cc.height/ccSizeCrouch) * Time.deltaTime ;
			cc.transform.localPosition.y -= crouchOffset * Time.deltaTime;
			Camera cameraCrouchposition = (camera.main.transform.localPosition.y - cameraCrouchOffset) * Time.deltaTime;

			if (Input.GetButtonUp ("Fire3"))
			{
				CrouchHeight = (cc.height*ccSizeCrouch)*Time.deltaTime;
				cc.transform.localPosition.y += cameraCrouchOffset * Time.deltaTime;
				cameraCrouchposition = (camera.main.transform.localPosition.y + cameraCrouchOffset) * Time.deltaTime;
			}
		}





		}

}

After I saved this one and switched back to Unity, I got some errors, which I wasn’t able to get fixed.

I would appreciate your help and your opinion with that. And please excuse my spelling and language skills, I’m not a native speaker and it has passed some time since the last time I wrote english.

  1. At line 89 you cannot define a CharacterController as a float, CharacterController CrouchHeight = (cc.height/ccSizeCrouch) * Time.deltaTime ; Since CrouchHeight’s value is not used anywhere else I’m not really sure what you were trying to do here.

  2. At line 90 you attempt to modify the y coordinate of transform.position but transform.position uses get/set so you need to assign the whole thing. You probably want

    cc.transform.localPosition -= new Vector3(0, crouchOffset * Time.deltaTime, 0);

  3. At line 91 you cannot use camera.main as Camera.main is a static variable and must be gotten using Camera.main (C# is case sensitive). In addition, at line 91 you then try to assign a float to a variable of type camera. You might be trying to do the following

    Camera.main.transform.localPosition -= new Vector3(0, cameraCrouchOffset* Time.deltaTime, 0);

  4. The other 4 errors are the same as 1-3 but on lines 95-97 (inside the if statement).
