Smart Step Craft Character Controller

Smart Step Craft Character Controller is a professional modular first/third-person controller designed for developers building voxel, sandbox, survival and exploration games.

Built on Unity's CharacterController, it provides stable movement, smooth stair traversal, predictable physics behavior, and a clean architecture that is easy to extend.

Unlike Rigidbody-based controllers, Smart Step Craft focuses on deterministic movement while remaining fully compatible with custom gameplay systems and animation pipelines.

Optional Cinemachine 3.1.7 Integration

Version 2 introduces full optional support for Cinemachine 3.1.7.

The integration extends the existing camera system without replacing its gameplay logic.

Features include:

• Cinemachine camera shake
• Cinemachine Impulse support
• Smooth camera blending
• Automatic perspective transitions
• Dynamic zoom synchronization
• Cinemachine Deoccluder support
• Fully optional integration

The native camera system continues handling:

• Camera rotation
• Camera collision
• Zoom
• Perspective switching

while Cinemachine adds cinematic presentation effects.

Core Movement Features

• Smooth step climbing up to 1 meter obstacles
• Walk
• Sprint
• Sneak
• Jump
• Fall
• Smart stair traversal
• Stable CharacterController movement
• Air control
• Sprint air boost
• Auto-jump support
• CharacterController collision fixes

Camera Features

Native Camera System

• First-person camera
• Third-person rear
• Third-person front
• Camera collision
• Adjustable zoom
• Perspective switching
• Independent pitch limits
• Optional view bobbing

Optional Cinemachine Features

• Cinemachine 3.1.7 support
• Camera Shake
• Camera Impulse
• Smooth camera blending
• Deoccluder support

Animation Friendly

No animations are included.

No Animator Controller is required.

The controller is designed to integrate with existing animation pipelines.

It exposes:

• Movement State
• Current Speed
• Grounded State
• Vertical Velocity
• Movement Direction

Compatible with:

• Unity Animator
• Custom animation systems
• Third-party animation assets

Extensible Architecture

The controller follows a modular architecture where movement systems remain independent.

It can easily be extended with:

• Swimming
• Flying
• Climbing
• Ladders
• Parkour
• Wall Running
• Custom movement states

without modifying the core controller.
