Unity Parkour & Climbing System

Create a new Unity project in Unity Hub with the universal render pipeline, then set up a scene with a scaled plane and checker material. Begin building the character controller.

Add a character controller to handle collisions and gravity in unity, perform manual ground checks with physics overlap sphere, and fine-tune collider properties and gravity for stable player movement.

Implement an environment scanner to detect obstacles ahead and trigger height-based actions like step up, jump up, and climate action, using target matching to reuse animations across heights.

Explore obstacle height detection in a Unity parkour system by casting a height recast from five meters above the forward hit point, downward to measure obstacle height and guide actions.

The buckle controller selects parkour actions by obstacle height using mean height and max height thresholds, enabling step up or jump up actions, with scriptable actions and an asset menu.

The section demonstrates an extensible parkour action system in Unity, letting you add actions from a menu, enter details, and assign animations, with a challenge to add more from maximal.

Implement ledge movement in Unity parkour, stopping forward motion at a ledge while allowing side and backward movement, and enable jumping from the ledge with the jump input.

Improve ledge movement by using three recasts to check the ledge width, preventing feet from leaving the ledge, and introducing a reusable three-recast physics utility with origin and visualization.

Learn how to stop player input during the landing animation using a state machine behavior to toggle has control, and adjust jump down timing to prevent double jumps off ledges.

Enable auto jumps in a Unity parkour system by using a ledge height threshold and a drop height limit to auto jump low ledges; high ledges still require jump input.

Build and visualize the climbing network by implementing a client point system with neighbor connections, two-way and one-way types, auto back-connection creation, and forward-vector visualization for outward ledges.

Implement ledge-to-ledge jumps in a Unity parkour system by importing hop animations (up, down, left, right) and configuring offsets. Map input directions to neighboring ledges for seamless transitions.
