how is it now? https://playcanvas.com/editor/scene/1661669
@Jacob_Jack Move the camera under the box entity and then add camera instead of box
Do you want to move the box and the camera together? Or just move the camera?
Since my game is going to be in first person, I want the box and the camera moving together. https://playcanvas.com/editor/scene/1661669
How do I make my character jump?
Hi @Jacob_Jack!
There are a lot of topics on the forum about jumping. If that doesn’t help you, maybe my example project below can help.
https://playcanvas.com/project/1063800/overview/basic-jumping
I’m not working on the projectiles at the the moment, but it keeps saying “SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input”
var PProjectile = pc.createScript('pProjectile');
// initialize code called once per entity
PProjectile.prototype.initialize = function() {
};
{entity.
// update code called every frame
PlayerProjectile.prototype.update = (function()
// swap method called for script hot-reloading
// inherit your script state here
// Wasd.prototype.swap = function(old) { };
// to learn more about script anatomy, please read:

var PProjectile = pc.createScript('pProjectile');
// initialize code called once per entity
PProjectile.prototype.initialize = function() {

Is line 8 correct or should it start with PProjectile?
var PProjectile = pc.createScript('pProjectile');
// initialize code called once per entity
PProjectile.prototype.initialize = function() {

// update code called every frame
PProjectile.prototype.update = (function()

you may try new First Person Controller from the Asset Store - download it from the Template filter. It has everything pre-set, just drop the controller into the scene after download

This one’s a school project I’ve been doing for last year and as well as now. There are several things wrong with the code but right now, I need help with the character model and jumping. For the scenes, make sure that you only use untitled.

@Jacob_Jack I am more than willing to help but what is the issue with your project? So I am not sure which project you are working on above. Can you provide the latest link to your project and let me know a few more details. Is this first person or third person? Maybe third person? If so did you have a look to this tutorial.
https://developer.playcanvas.com/en/tutorials/third-person-controller/
Please provide a little more detail so we can all help you with the issues you are seeing.
I am confused. Why isn’t the character moving?
https://playcanvas.com/editor/scene/1606628
var Jumpinput = pc.createScript('Jumpinput');
Jumpinput.attributes.add('movementSpeed', { type: 'number', default: 5 });
Jumpinput.attributes.add('runSpeedMultiplier', { type: 'number', default: 2 });
Jumpinput.prototype.initialize = function() {
this.app.keyboard.on(pc.KEY_E, this.onShiftDown, this);
this.app.keyboard.on(pc.KEY_E, this.onShiftUp, this);
};
Jumpinput.prototype.update = function(dt) {
var movement = new pc.Vec3(0, 0, 0);
if (this.app.keyboard.isPressed(pc.KEY_LEFT)) {
movement.x -= 1;
}
if (this.app.keyboard.isPressed(pc.KEY_RIGHT)) {
movement.x += 1;
}
if (this.app.keyboard.isPressed(pc.KEY_UP)) {
movement.z -= 1;
}
if (this.app.keyboard.isPressed(pc.KEY_DOWN)) {
movement.z += 1;
}
movement.normalize();
if (this.isRunning) {
movement.scale(this.movementSpeed * this.runSpeedMultiplier * dt);
} else {
movement.scale(this.movementSpeed * dt);
}
this.entity.translate(movement);
};
Jumpinput.prototype.onShiftDown = function() {
this.isRunning = true;
};
Jumpinput.prototype.onShiftUp = function() {
this.isRunning = false;
};
Hi @Jacob_Jack!
It looks like you have renamed the script.
If you parse the script, you will see there is currently a problem with the script.
I suggest to remove the script from th entity and add it again.
