From the last section, we know how to set up the character controller using the built-in third-person character controller, which works very well. If we look at the built-in character controller closely, we will see that it takes only four animation clips, but we want to add one more clip, which is the fall animation (for the model that we had, it's the backward of the jump animation clip). However, if we have more than four animation clips, we will need to build our own script because there is no support for including a falling animation in the built-in script. So, we will create our character control script which is similar to, but much simpler than, the built-in third-person controller script.

You will shade, model, rig, and animate your hero/heroine. The end result will be a character on the level of Final Fantasy, far superior to a simple sprite.<br /><br />Now for some damage - rocket launchers! Typically the most powerful weapons in any first person shooter, you will create a rocket launcher that has fire and smoke particles and most importantly causes splash damage for that all important area effect. Create AI controlled enemies for your hero/heroine to eliminate with the rocket launcher. Forge a destructible interactive world so if the rocket launchers miss their target they will at least cause significant damage to the surrounding environment.
