An animated "Dungeon Master" / "Legend of Grimrock" / "Eye of the Beholder" style camera.
An animated camera control script that gives you "Dungeon Master"/"Xenomorph"/"Legend of Grimrock" style WSADQE control in your Unity3D game.
I am a huge fan of the old Amiga game 'Xenomorph' back from the nineties. So I decided to start a similar SciFi themed game (working title 'Xenomorph 2409')
Of course I need similar movement/rotation then thoose games so I started writting this script.
Usage
- Attach the script as a component to your main camera.
- Adjust the grid size to meet your grid.
- Adjust the rotation speed multiplier to your liking.
The controls
- 'W' Moves you 1 cell forward
- 'S' Moves you 1 cell backward
- 'A' Strafe left 1 cell
- 'D' Strafe right 1 cell
- 'Q' Turn left 90°
- 'E' Turn right 90°
NEW! Free look mode
Press the right mouse button to enter a free look mode where you can look round without a grid restriction. Releasing the mouse button will put you back in movement mode.
What it looks like in action
You can watch a work in progress version of "Xenomorph 2409" on YouTube:
Planned improvements
You may want to check out a new and more advanced version of the script https://github.com/LutzGrosshennig/unity3d-advanced-grid-movement
Since this version is much simpler to understand I will leave it as it is.
Have fun, Lutz
