I'm just posting here to let everyone know I'm not dead.
I am actually turning my double jump script into a full fledged FPS camera. Just note it will take a while to do and I bet you it will be an amazing extension.
At the moment, I plan:
- Sprinting - 100% done
- Crouching - 100% done
- Arrow keys, WASD, or both to move - 100% done
- Zooming in and out - 100% done
- Smooth movement option - Will work on sometime in the future
- Double jump
- Variable that allows infinite jumps, useful for debugging
- Improved collision detection
- Custom hotkeys (change movement keys, for example)
- Dedicated auto and semi-auto left/right click actions
- And more...

A lot of this has already been implemented but its still a work in progress. I just wanted to announce this here.
Anyways, hope your excited

UPDATE:
I have posted video progress to show basic movement, sprinting, and crouching is finished and working well.

UPDATE 2:
Final update for a while since physics system will take a lonnngggg time to do.

UPDATE 3:
Due to the complex nature of this behavior, you will have to use "Execute JavaScript" action to create a instance of this extension. Its just not possible to have multiple instances of this extension as a behavior, so I have to stick with class-based systems now. I am reworking the code this way. Sorry.

UPDATE 4:
Another video update, this one showing how the multiple camera instance system works by JavaScript. Also, I am still working on the camera physics, its a very complicated thing that might take many more months. Its simply something I cannot just "instantly" do.

does it require the physics engine?

@tim12345
Yes, as my original double jump script required it. ccbSetPhysicsVelocity requires physics simulation, there is nothing I can do about that. However, the normal movement parts of the script don't need it... so the script will act as a normal player controller without jump if you have physics simulation off.

Update:
I have gotten basic movement finished 100%
I am working on other aspects of it now, such as gravity.
Just want to update this post.

Lol, just one more update...
I am working on a movement smoothing option and... my first try, the first time you move when its on, it flings you across the world like a slingshot!

The features sound great, can't wait to try it out, cheers!

I'm very glad that you're taking physics simulation as an option to be turned off, that way the camera will be usable also in WebGL. WebGL seems to be treated like an ugly sister of CC & I'm not sure why, it's very good & it's much more flexible build for a game :)

I'm actually thinking of working in my own gravity and velocity system with a built in function that mimics ccbSetPhysicsVelocity but only for my extension. This is so it can work in other platforms. However, I don't think I can make my extension combatable for Android... there are just too many different things that have to be done other ways to work in Android that its not worth it...

What are you using for movement smoothing, i can perhaps help.

No thanks, I fixed the issue. I was just a funny bug that I had to mention

Is your new camera system soon available ?

No, it is far from done.

Looking forward to it - sounds like a great extension/addition. Free or paid?
