Ultimate 2D Character Controller

TLD Ultimate 2D Character Controller gives you a production-ready, fully procedural 2D character controller built entirely on a capsule shape. No sprites, no animator, no art required, every animation is written in code.

Open Window > TLD > Setup Wizard, pick your ground layer, click Create Character, and hit Play. Done.

Movement & Physics:
- Smooth acceleration and deceleration with separate ground and air values
- Variable jump height with fall multiplier and low-jump multiplier
- Multi-jump support (1 to 5 jumps, fully configurable)
- Coyote time, grace window after walking off a ledge
- Jump buffering, queue a jump slightly before landing
- Full slope detection and slope-normal movement
- Configurable gravity scale, max fall speed, and ground snapping

Wall Mechanics:
- Wall slide, slow fall while pressed against a wall
- Wall grab with optional stamina system
- Wall jump with configurable force, lock-out timer, and directional control

Dash:
- Directional dash or Lateral dash
- Configurable speed, duration, and cooldown
- Air dash with limited-use count per jump
- Optional gravity disable during dash
- Invincibility flag for use with your own health system

Crouch & Slide:
- Crouch shrinks the capsule collider from the top
- Head clearance check prevents standing up inside geometry
- Slide with minimum speed requirement, duration, and separate cooldown
- Crouch speed multiplier

Ledge Mechanics:
- Automatic ledge detection using raycasts
- Ledge grab, character catches the corner of a platform while falling
- Ledge climb, smooth two-phase animation climbs up and over the ledge
- Ledge jump, kick off the ledge into a full jump
- Drop from ledge by holding Crouch

Procedural Animations:
- All animations are code-driven squish and stretch on the Visual child transform
- Land squish, Jump stretch, Run lean, Crouch squish, Slide squish, Wall-slide squeeze, Dash warp, Air stretch and fall squash
- All squish uses a bottom-anchored pivot so the feet never leave the ground visually
- Capsule visual displays state-based color feedback (idle, run, airborne, crouch, dash, wall-slide, ledge grab)

Easy Setup:
- One-click Setup Wizard at Window > TLD > Setup Wizard creates a complete character with camera
- Custom sectioned Inspector with live runtime debug readout
- Works with Legacy Input or Unity's New Input System out of the box
- Swap in your own input by calling controller.SetInput() from any script

Integration & Extensibility:
- State Machine Bridge exposes a clean CharacterState enum and drives any Animator
- 8 UnityEvents: onJump, onLand, onDash, onWallJump, onLedgeGrab, onLedgeClimb, onCrouchChange, onGroundedChange
- Public API: Teleport, AddImpulse, ForceJump, StopMovement, GetStateSnapshot
- Screen shake API on the Camera Follow component
- Fully compatible with PlatformEffector2D one-way platforms
- Works with moving platforms via Rigidbody2D
- No third-party dependencies
