Now we need to add a demo project script - FPSController. It handles all the gameplay actions in the project. ### Turn In Place Once you've added the **FPSController**, set up the Turn In Place feature first:

The **Turn Curve** must be in range \[0;1], for both value and time:

This curve will be used to procedurally rotate the character when it's time to turn. ### Smooth Leaning Now we need to adjust the **Smooth Leanin**g - a game mechanic, which allows to control the leaning amount with the mouse wheel:

**Smooth Lean Step** defines the leaning sensitivity, and **Start Lean** defines the initial leaning amount in percents (1 means 100%, 0 means 0%). ### IK Animations/Poses Now we need to set up the **IK Animation**:

**IK Animation** is a Scriptable Object, which is applied procedurally and used as a transitions motion for aiming, leaning, crouching and jumping events:

**Rot and Loc** are animation curves for each rotation/translation axis **Blend Speed** defines how fast we want to blend the motion in. **Play Rate** defines the speed of the motion. **Scale** is a global multiplier for the motion, and it's computed randomly in range \[X;Y]. Another IK feature used in the FPS Animation Framework is **IK Poses**. Unlike IK Animations, which are fire-and-forget type of thing, the IK Poses are mean to be used for different animation states. For example, let's say we don't like our pose when sprinting. We can create a new **IK Pose** for this animation state, and simply blend it in when we start sprinting:

**Pose** defines the additive offset for rotation/translation, and **Blend In/Out Speed** defines how fast we want to blend in/out.

You can assign IK Poses in FPSController/Animation tab.

### Controller Settings

Now let's set up the Controller tab. **Time Scale** allows you to add a slow motion effect, if less than 1. **Equip Delay** defines the timer length for the wepaon equip action. We don't rely on the animation events, instead we set a timer when we start equipping another weapon. Assign **Main Camera**, **Camera Holder** and **First Person Camera** objects using the references from the [Camera setup](/fps-animation-framework/tutorial/getting-started/camera-setup.md) step. (Edit: **First Person Camera** is the FPCameraSocket). Finally we have a Movement Component reference, which we will deal with in the next chapter. ## Movement Component All movement logic is handled in the **FPSMovement.cs** script. Add this component directly to your character and assign its reference in the **FPSController**/Controller tab. Let's take at the inspector:

Use the **rootBone** GameObject in the skeleton hierarchy and assign it to the respective property. **Movement Settings** is a Scriptable Object, which contains all the necessary settings for different movement states:

You can find it in the Assets/Demo/DataAssets.

**Idle, Prone, Crouching and others** contain a Velocity (defines the movement speed) and Velocity Smoothing (how responsive the state should be. If zero - no smoothing applied). **Crouch Ratio** is a multiplier for the capsule height when crouching. **Jump Height** defines how high we want to jump. **Air Friction/Velocity** represent the responsiveness and movement speed when in air. **Max Fall Velocity** will be used to clamp the gravity. **Slide Curve** defines how sliding will be applied. **Slide Dircetion Smoothing** defines the responsiveness when sliding. **Slide Speed** defines the sliding velocity. At this point we've completeted the character setup. We will learn how to set up a weapon from scratch in the next section.
