Overview ​

This extension allows for specifying the character controller to be used in an environment.

glTF Schema Updates ​

Usage of the extension must be listed in the extensionsUsed array:

json
"extensionsUsed": [
  "MX_character_controller"
]

The MX_character_controller extension can be added to any scene property.

json
"scenes": [
  {
    "extensions": {
      "MX_character_controller": {
        "type": "first-person"
      }
    }
  }
]

The character controller type can be set to first-person or fly. Using first-person will spawn the player with a first person character controller with gravity and collision. The fly value spawns you with a first person flying character controller where you move forward in the direction that you are looking and no gravity is applied. Implementations can choose exactly how this character controller works. It's intended as a hint as to how you might navigate this scene.
