The next installment in our CRYENGINE 5.7 LTS tutorial series shows you how to add a crouch mechanic to a player-controlled character using C++. You'll also learn how to refine the code you've created so far in the series to provide a solid basis for the future, which is good practice for any project. Your host, as ever, is Technical Author and Video Producer Nick Gillin

00:00 Introduction
01:06 Refining the Player.h

The tutorial builds on the previous episodes in the series. The first shows you how to create a player-controlled character from scratch with traditional WASD movement and mouse-look functionality. The second shows you how to add a sprinting mechanic, and the third episode shows you how to add jumping. By completing those tutorials, you will gain a grounding in C++ and produce the file required to complete this new course.
