Unity FPS Controller Tutorial Advance. #7 Weapon Aiming System, Reduce Sway & Recoil While Aiming.
Welcome back to the Unity FPS Controller Tutorial Series.
In this episode, we implement one of the most important FPS mechanics: the Weapon Aiming System (ADS - Aim Down Sight).
We start by fixing a weapon raycast issue where our weapon could accidentally hit the player. After fixing the bug using Layer Masks, we build a complete aiming system using a clean serializable class architecture.
We also improve the overall aiming experience by reducing weapon sway and recoil while aiming, making the weapon feel more stable and accurate.
