Godot First Person Controller

Basic First Person Controller for Godot 4

This is a Godot 4 base project that can be used for games with First Person perspective.

Only about 70 lines of code written in optimized GDScript 2.0.

Movement calculation is independent from FPS. The player will move and rotate the camera at the same speed at any frame rate.

You can tweak the player values directly in the editor:

• Speed (m/s)
• Acceleration (m/s^2)
• Jump height (approx. m)
• Camera Sensitivity

The player movement is calculated as the result of vector forces:

• Walk velocity
• Gravity velocity
• Jumping velocity

There is a Sandbox.tscn scene that is used as the main scene of the project just to test the FPC, you can do whatever you want with it.

Also there are two functions included to capture de mouse (lock the mouse on the screen) or release it when needed: capture_mouse() and release_mouse().
