is there a way to control my character whilst in gesture.

I want to move my character whilst on setgesture.

Hi,

You can also use CharacterController.Move() for this as well!

import { SpawnInfo, ZepetoCharacter, ZepetoPlayers } from 'ZEPETO.Character.Controller';
import { ZepetoScriptBehaviour } from 'ZEPETO.Script'
import { WorldService } from 'ZEPETO.World';

export default class TestFindChildComponents extends ZepetoScriptBehaviour {
          public myGestureAnimation:AnimationClip;
          private localCharacter: ZepetoCharacter;
          private localCharacterController: CharacterController;
          
          Start() {
                    ZepetoPlayers.instance.CreatePlayerWithUserId(WorldService.userId,new SpawnInfo(), true);      
                
                    ZepetoPlayers.instance.OnAddedLocalPlayer.AddListener(() => {            
                              this.localCharacter = ZepetoPlayers.instance.LocalPlayer.zepetoPlayer.character;
                              this.localCharacterController = ZepetoPlayers.instance.LocalPlayer.zepetoPlayer.character.characterController;
                      
                              this.localCharacter.SetGesture(this.myGestureAnimation); 
                    });    
          }
          
          Update() {
                    if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.T)) {
                              let myVector3:Vector3 = new Vector3(1 * Time.deltaTime, 0, 0);
                              this.localCharacterController.Move(myVector3);
                    }
          }
}

yeah but how would I go about controlling the character with the default on-screen joystick

So there is a way to listen to the D-Pad by making a reference to ZepetoScreenTouchpad and then subscribing to the OnPointerDownEvent, OnDragEvent, and OnPointerUpEvent.

Note that the OnDragEvent only gets called if you are moving your finger/mouse, so that is why we need OnPointerUpEvent and OnPointerDownEvent to set the "isTouchingPad" boolean.

So OnDragEvent is used to find the x and y positions of the d-pad relative to it's center, and then if "isTouchingPad" === true, then we do some logic with the camera to get the correct direction the player should move.

import { BooleanLiteral } from 'typescript';
import { AnimationClip, Camera, CharacterController, Debug, GameObject, Time, Vector2, Vector3 } from 'UnityEngine';
import { SpawnInfo, ZepetoCharacter, ZepetoPlayers, ZepetoScreenTouchpad } from 'ZEPETO.Character.Controller';
import { ZepetoScriptBehaviour } from 'ZEPETO.Script'

export default class ClientStarter extends ZepetoScriptBehaviour {
    public localCharacter: ZepetoCharacter;
    private localCharacterController: CharacterController;
    public myGestureAnimation:AnimationClip;

    private padVector:Vector2;
    private isTouchingPad:boolean;

    Start() {    
        ZepetoPlayers.instance.CreatePlayerWithZepetoId("", "[ZEPETO_ID]", new SpawnInfo(), true);

        ZepetoPlayers.instance.OnAddedLocalPlayer.AddListener(() => {         
            this.localCharacter = ZepetoPlayers.instance.LocalPlayer.zepetoPlayer.character;
            this.localCharacterController = ZepetoPlayers.instance.LocalPlayer.zepetoPlayer.character.characterController;

            ZepetoPlayers.instance.LocalPlayer.zepetoCamera.transform.forward;
    
            this.localCharacter.SetGesture(this.myGestureAnimation);

            let touchPad:ZepetoScreenTouchpad = GameObject.Find("Pad").GetComponent<ZepetoScreenTouchpad>();

            touchPad.OnPointerDownEvent.AddListener(()=>{this.isTouchingPad = true});
            touchPad.OnDragEvent.AddListener((position:Vector2)=>{this.padVector =  position});
            touchPad.OnPointerUpEvent.AddListener(()=>{this.isTouchingPad = false});
        });
    }

    Update() {
        if (this.isTouchingPad === true) {
            Debug.LogError(`${this.padVector.x}, ${this.padVector.y}`); //this will return -1 to 1 for d-pad x position and -1 to 1 for d-pad y position

            let direction:Vector3 = ((ZepetoPlayers.instance.ZepetoCamera.camera.transform.forward * this.padVector.y) + (ZepetoPlayers.instance.ZepetoCamera.camera.transform.right * this.padVector.x));

            let speed = 5;

            this.localCharacterController.Move(new Vector3(direction.x, 0, direction.z) * speed * Time.deltaTime);
        }
    }
}

so I tested this out on a new scene.
when the character spawns, it does the gesture but when I use the joypad on-screen, it cancels out of gesture.
nonetheless,pretty cool.
if it stayed throughout the movement with setgesture, that'd have been the answer I was looking for 👍

I was having the same issue with it cancelling out of the gesture, not sure exactly why this is, but not zeroing out the "y" will cause the character to cancel out of the gesture. In your test, is your "y" zeroed out?

[ckdlskgkdrhd]

no I was just using the copy pasted.

[naverz-mkao]

Hmmm, this is very strange. I can't even seem to repro the character canceling out of the gesture anymore. Can you tell me what ZEPETO.World version you are on?

Also if possible, could you post your zipped up Unity project here. I feel like this is either a bug with the API or some setting in Unity.

Thanks!
