Player crouching

Published by higginson2020 on

To allow the player to hide from enemies and enter smaller areas, I have added the ability for the player to crouch.

  • When the player crouches, the capsule collider shrinks. It then grows back to regular size when they stand back up.

To make the player character crouch when the collider does, I added crouching animations to the animation cycle.

The animations I have used for crouching and crouch walking are not original. They were created by Matt Aspland (2021).

  • By using a Flip Flop node, the player can press Left CTRL once to crouch then again to stand back up.

Chasing player AI

A major part of the Run Rabbit Run is the player hiding and running from enemies. To enable enemies to detect and chase the player, I created an enemy chase AI.

Lighting

As the game follows a noir theme, I followed this when creating the lighting. By using a sky sphere, exponential height fog and post processing volume, I have created an extremely dark environment.
