Overview

Top-Down Character Controller

A ready-to-use third-person character and interaction toolkit for building exploration and puzzle games in Unity. Drop in the player prefab, place a few interactable prefabs, wire them together in the Inspector, and you have a working puzzle sequence — item pickup, a locked door, a code machine, a pressure plate — with no code written.

Key Features

• Third-person character controller — CharacterController-based movement with walk, sprint, crouch, and jump, plus a smoothed follow camera with zoom, wall-collision avoidance, and screen shake.
• Interaction system — proximity-based interact prompts, tap or hold interactions, and a single-slot inventory for carrying items.
• Puzzle primitives — item locks, item placers with correct/incorrect detection, code machine keypads, pressure-plate switches, trigger sensors, and animated doors, all exposed through UnityEvents so you can chain them without writing code.
• Health & death system — four independent death modes (animated, ragdoll, instant, explosion), each with its own sound, cleanup, and event hook.
• Menu & popup framework — a full-screen menu stack plus an independent popup system (pause, message box, notifications, object inspector) with history-based back navigation.
• NavMesh-driven movement — an optional NavMeshAgent bridge for scripted/cutscene movement that shares the same character controller as manual play.
• Editor tooling — a setup window (Tools > MSJ-TDCC > ToolWindow) that checks your dependencies and can auto-configure the required project layers in one click.
• Clean, documented code — every public class and method is XML-documented, with no leftover debug scaffolding or dead code.

Requirements

• Unity 6000.3 or later
• Universal Render Pipeline (URP)
• Input System package
• DOTween (free version)
