DOCUMENTATION | TUTORIALS | WINDOWS DEMO

⚡ Develop incredible 3rd person Characters with fluid Climbing and Traversal mechanics, using a maintainable, scalable and extensible system. ⚡

• Have you ever tried to code climbing and traversal abilities and got stuck?

• Would like to create a game with climbing similar to Uncharted and Assassin's Creed and don't know where to begin?

• Do you want to focus on design and don't want to spend too much time with hard and complex code?

✔ Climbing System is the solution for you!

Inspired in games like Uncharted 4, Tomb Raider and Assassin's Creed, Climbing System is a package that allows any user to implement fluid climbing and traversal abilities to a 3rd Person Character. It's developed to deliver high quality controls, movement and animations transitions. This package contains an extensible Ability System that works with Ability Tags to allow any user to extend the system with new abilities and also customize the current ones.

FEATURES

• Ability System: flexible and extensible system that allows creating any abilities fast. It allows to run one or more abilities at once, giving freedom to developer to customize how abilities will behave.
• Ability Tags: a completely new settings for Unity where you can create Tags to handle abilities conditions. It makes all abilities independent from each other.
• Maintanable, Scalable and Extensible system: developed with good programming practices, such as Design Patterns and SOLID principles.
• +30 Abilities: Climbing, Vault, Ladder, Teeter, Crouch, Roll and much more already implemented.
• Unit Tests: test to ensure the ability system behaves as expected, which reduce bugs.
• In-Game Debug Console: a built-in In-Game Debug Console to help you debugging and test your code while playing. You can create any command and submit to the system.
• Predicted Jump: easy to customize your scene to make character reach ledges and target destinations in your scene.
• Mobile Support: comes with an example of mobile inputs implemented.
• Character Controller & Rigidbody: use Unity Character Controller or Rigidbody for your character (to get the best smooth experience possible, it's highly recommended to use Character Controller).
• Organized Code: All scripting files are split into assembly definitions, which allows for testable code, avoids cyclic dependencies, and provides faster compilation.
