The aim of this addon is to provide a framework for characters with various movement styles. This addon does NOT handle user input, but it provides an easy way to relay your (or AI) input to pawns.

The concept of a Pawn is derived from Unreal Engine where:

A Pawn is the physical representation of a player or AI entity within the world. [...] represents the physical location, rotation, etc. of a player or entity within the game.

Here the idea is the same, although the implementation is very different - the Godot-way.

This node is the key part of the framework. It expects to be a child of Node3D - your character, that you are going to script later. For this GsomPawn node, you have to choose a scene that represents its body. The scene must be a PackedScene, where root is a Node3D. Any descendant of Node3D is fine, and can optionally have linear_velocity and angular_velocity properties (as physics nodes would).

Example structure:

MainScene
|---Controller # not a child of pawn or character
|   |---Camera # <-- the actual camera is inside controller
|   |---Hud
|   |---EscMenu
|
|---Character # <-- this is yours, attach a script here
    |---GsomPawn # <-- this is the GsomPawn node
    |   |   [GsomPawn.scene] # <-- your scene defines the body
    |   |---PawnHandler1
    |   |---PawnHandler2
    |   |---PawnHandler3 # <-- these extend GsomPawnHandler
    |   
    |---Mesh # anything else that you need for a character
    |---AudioStep
