Immersive First Person Movement for Unity (IFPM4U) consists of two scripts for realistic feeling movement, making walking in a 3D game much more enjoyable and increasing immersion. This is perfect for horror games or walking sims. Some of these features can be found in AAA games like Resident Evil.
- Walk cycle dips
- These are dips in move speed when a foot hits the ground.
- Modern Resident Evil games all use this.
- Head bob
- Moves in a u-shaped pattern
- Also rotates the camera since in real life your eyes would lock onto whatever is in front of you.
- Synced with walk cycle of course.
- Less control over sharp turns
- The player has less control over move direction the higher the turn angle is between each step.
- The walk cycle speed will increase if the player is trying to make a sharp turn, meaning the current foot will hit the ground quicker to be able to change direction.
- The walk cycle dip will also feel stronger to give the impression of stopping momentum.
- Feels like you're actually using your legs to rotate your body.
- Slight forward offset
- Your eyes are not at the center of your body, so the camera should be offset forward.
- Dominant leg
- One leg feels very slightly stronger than the other.
- Could potentially also be used for limping.
- Slight randomization
- Some aspects such as the walk cycle interval are slightly randomized for a more natural feel.
- SmoothDamp acceleration
- You don't immediately start moving at full speed.
