Ichun (行ちゅん)

bevy-ichun (Okinawan dialect for the Japanese word 行く, meaning 'to go') is a simple kinematic character controller for Bevy with Avian3D.

Versions

Features

This library has four main components:

Kcc

The Kcc component provides the basic functionality for a kinematic character controller:

• applying gravity
• handling slopes
• handling moving platforms
• collision handling with static geometry

Kcc actions (enabled by default kcc_actions)

The KccActions component stores actions which should be executed each frame. The actions will be reset in the post-update loop and thus need to be set each frame. Following actions are possible:

• moving
• jumping
• rotating
• gravity modification

Kcc movement (kcc_movement_events)

The KccMovementEventsConfig component provides events which can be used to move the Kcc around. The events will add kcc_actions and provide a nice and clean API but not as much freedom as using the actions on your own:

• moving
• running
• jumping
• floating
• rotating

Kcc input (kcc_input)

This component handles user defined input and uses the kcc_movement_events to move the Kcc around.

• forward, backward, left and right
• run
• jump
• float
• optional key to activate roation
• disable input handling for each Kcc & globally

Defining a key to handle roation is not yet implemented (the mouse is used). This feature is depending on the kcc_movement_events.

Examples

Examples are in the examples folder. It can be run with following command: cargo r --example simple-kcc.
Or to check out the event based approach: cargo r --example simple-kcc-with-events --features "kcc_input kcc_movement_events".
