Animal Controller (Malbers Character Controller)

About Animal Controller (Malbers Character Controller) – Unity Editor Tool & Plugin

Unity Animal Character Controller

Animal Controller (Malbers Character Controller) is a modular character controller for creature and humanoid characters, supporting both root-motion and in-place animation. Built around Scriptable Architecture, it organizes behavior through States, Modes, and Stances, with over 100 included tools covering character movement, animation, AI, interaction, customization, and other controller functions.

Scriptable Character Architecture

The controller separates animation behavior into three systems. States contain animation and logic for behaviors such as Locomotion, Idle, Jump, Fall, Fly, Swim, Climb, Glide, and Death, with States unable to overlap. Modes run alongside an active State, allowing actions such as Main Attacks, Secondary Attacks, Hits, and Actions to occur during movement or other States. Stances modify how a State appears, supporting examples such as crouched, wounded, and sneak movement.

Its modular structure allows features to be added or removed according to a project's character requirements. The package also includes Scriptable Variables, an Event System based on Scriptable objects, and a clean Animator setup, while full C# source code is provided for projects that require access to the controller's implementation.
