v0.4.0

Mannequiny is a 3rd-person 3D character controller to quickly prototype games or to build a more complex playable character for your games.

Getting started

Download the source code below and unzip to get the Godot project.

See our README for more information.

Mannequiny is also available from the Godot asset library

Changelog

Improvements

• The mannequin now smoothly rotates instead of changing direction instantly.

Changes

• The character now comes rig-free. We use the free blender add-on Rig on the Fly to rig the character dynamically.

Known Issues

I started refactoring the Zip state, that takes the character to a wall or
ground the player is aiming at. It is not working at the moment.

The 3D character, Mannequiny, is also free and open source. You can download the Blender 2.8 source file below.

v0.3.0

Mannequiny is a 3rd-person 3D character controller to quickly prototype games or to build a more complex playable character for your games.

Getting started

Changelog

New features

• Smooth camera zoom in and out using the mouse wheel.
• Added debug panel to monitor object properties. Toggle open with TAB.

Improvements

• Toggle fullscreen with F11.
• Improved the light settings for nicer looking shadows.
• The SpringArm now projects a capsule to prevent the camera from going below the floor.

Changes

In this release, we mostly refactored and improved the code for future development, but also for the release of our 3D game creation course, based on this project.

• Refactored the code
  • Use PI for angles in radians, replace magic values with constants.
  • Removed unused values in the Move state.
  • Removed unused jump delay feature.
  • Changed the get_look_direction calculation for correct y inversion.
  • Replaced all docstrings with comment blocks.
  • Use Vector3.ZERO constant instead of Vector3(0, 0, 0).
  • Improved encapsulation of code in the Aim state.
  • Renamed input actions to all use action verbs.
  • Moved mouse capture mode code to a game class, improve logic.
  • Simplified camera code, in particular the rotation code.
  • Simplified variables.
  • Simplified and encapsulated the logic for the AimTarget.

Bug fixes

• Fixed SpringArm not returning to its start position after aiming.
• Fixed type error in the latest Godot 3.2 build.
• Fixed calculating the opposite value for camera Y inversion logic.
• Fixed slow camera movement on monitors with high refresh rates. We now use _process instead of _physics_process for camera movement.
• Fixed a memory leak in Godot 3.2.
