Creating a third-person controller

One of the many advantages of using Unity is its large asset marketplace. Unity Asset Store is a place where you can find content created by third parties and also assets created by Unity, free and paid.

Unity has a multitude of assets called Starter Assets that greatly facilitate and accelerate the development of your project. In our case, we will use Starter Assets - Third Person Character Controller for our player. This player controller is already adapted to the new input system with which we previously configured the project.

To download and install Starter Assets - Third Person Character Controller, follow these steps:

1. Go to https://assetstore.unity.com in your browser.
2. In the search engine, type Starter Assets - Third Person Character Controller.
3. Click on the single item that will appear in the search results.
4. Click on the Add to My Assets button.
