How to make first person camera jump

[bozworth]

I wanted to add jump to the Universal camera controls, or maybe Free Camera.

How would I go about doing that?

Thanks

There are a couple of ways to do this,

1. If you used an imported mesh as your FPS character, you can add a simple mesh(e.g cube or sphere) to the bone on the imported mesh’s head and then make the simple mesh the parent of your camera… Check this out FPS integrated Camera

2. If you have your FPS character as only the camera, make the camera jump normally, by using animations
   Or add a function inside scene.registerBeforeRender function (I don’t know much about the mathematical stuff)

I took some time(less than 10 min) to make a simple solution, if parent mesh is absent…

How to detect that camera is not falling?

Hi all, Found a bug in one of my previous demos: https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#3CPL8T#1 If we will click spacebar quickly the avatar will jump higher and higher. This happens because I drop this.jumping flag on key up event. See line 135. Actually I need to drop it when camera will be on the ground. One obvious solution is to check inside of onCollide event if collided mesh is a “ground” and then drop the flag. But it’s not universal. What if I land on any other mesh that actually is …

Thanks the first link FPS Shooter had the right bit of code, I figured out the key line i needed was camera.cameraDirection.y += value
