# Create a state

You can create your own state in two ways:

1. Deriving from the CharacterState class and implement its abstract methods.
2. Using the "Create" menu.

```csharp
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using Lightbug.CharacterControllerPro.Implementation;

public class YourCustomState : CharacterState
{
    // Write your initialization code here
    protected override void Awake()
    {
        base.Awake();
    }

    // Write your transitions here
    public override void CheckExitTransition()
    {
    }

    // Write your transitions here
    public override bool CheckEnterTransition(CharacterState fromState)
    {
        return base.CheckEnterTransition(fromState);
    }

    // Write your update code here
    public override void UpdateBehaviour(float dt)
    {        
    }
}
```
