<script src="js/three.js"></script>

2. "import" PlayerControls.js

<script src="js/PlayerControls.js"></script>

3. instantiate PlayerControls object ( pass camera and player object as arguments )

var controls = new THREE.PlayerControls( camera , player );

Keep in mind that player is a mesh or group object with position.x, position.y, etc.. properties

4. update controls in animate function

function animate() {

	requestAnimationFrame( animate );

	// other things you do..

	controls.update();
	
	render();

}

You can adjust the speed of the player with:

controls.moveSpeed = some_number;

You can adjust the turn speed with:

controls.turnSpeed = some_number;
