Changing the first person walk speed and preventing running when entering a trigger.

Rantceck

Hello, I'm trying to reduce the player's walking speed and disable running when entering water, similar to how the Crouch script works, but using a trigger instead of a button. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the community, @Rantceck.

You can use a pair of Triggers (Enter and Exit) to run Character: Animate and Player: Constrain Actions to adjust the movement speed and prevent/allow running.

Alternatively, you can rely on a custom script, attached to a Collider with "Is Trigger" checked, to handle this:

using UnityEngine;
using AC;

public class PlayerWater : MonoBehaviour
{

    [Range (0f, 1f)] public float speedReduction = 0.5f;

    void OnTriggerEnter (Collider collider)
    {
        if (KickStarter.player == null || KickStarter.player.gameObject != collider.gameObject) return;

        player.walkSpeedScale *= speedReduction;
        player.runningLocked = PlayerMoveLock.AlwaysWalk;
    }

    void OnTriggerExit (Collider collider)
    {
        if (KickStarter.player == null || KickStarter.player.gameObject != collider.gameObject) return;

        player.walkSpeedScale /= speedReduction;
        player.runningLocked = PlayerMoveLock.Free;
    }

}

Thank you, it took me some time to realize my player prefab was broken some how and didn't do anything when I ran "Character: Animate and Player: Constrain", tested both options with a clean prefab and worked perfectly.
