Scripting character to move

Ok,

I know there is probably a nice easy link and explanation to do this but I am having problems finding a nice step by step guide for newcomers like me.

So…
I have purchased a character with animations and imported to unity. Now my problem is what to do next.

Im assuming a script of some sort is required to let the engine know which button controls which animation. As I said I am new to this so any help would be appreciated.

First you need a Character controller on your character. Do a search on youtube for Unity and Character Controllers. I’m gonna post you some links here. Also check out the Unity Scripting reference link. I was surprised at how quick the C# light started to come on when I stopped being shy of that resource.

If your using Unity 4 you can also look at the Mecanim tutorials on Unity website or youtube.

Great Tutorial Resources

You won’t find a more friendly community or engine. Welcome. I’m happy I came over here earlier this year.

Have fun
