# 〽️Recoil Pattern

> In this section you will learn about controller recoil.

## Properties

**Recoil Pattern** represents the controller recoil, which is added to the character and camera rotation. This type of recoil is controller by the player, so it has a practical purpose.

The recoil is generated in a standalone component, make sure to add it to your character:

**Recoil Settings** define the actual recoil properties, such as damping, randomized targets for vertical/horizontal recoil, etc.

**Delta Look Input Property** represents the delta input value, which is related to the User Input Controller component we added previously in [Components](/scriptable-animation-system/workflow/components)section.

Let's take a look at the **Recoil Settings**:

**Horizontal/Vertical Recoil** defines the randomized range.

**Horizontal/Vertical Smoothing** define the interpolation speed.

**Damping** defines how fast we should return to the initial screen position.

## Integration

To add the recoil to your controller, make sure to grab a reference to the **Recoil Pattern** component first.

Then, make sure to access the component and add the recoil to the player inut:

Then, call the *Init* method when a gun is equipped:

Finally, call the *OnFireStart* and *OnFireStop* methods:
