CharacterController.Move

Description

Supplies the movement of a GameObject with an attached CharacterController component.

The CharacterController.Move motion moves the GameObject in the given direction. The given direction requires absolute movement delta values. A collision constrains the Move from taking place. The return, CollisionFlags, indicates the direction of a collision: None, Sides, Above, and Below. CharacterController.Move does not use gravity.

The example below demonstrates how to use CharacterContoller.Move. Update causes a Move to re-position the player. In addition, Jump changes the player position in a vertical direction.

public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
    private CharacterController controller;
    private Vector3 playerVelocity;
    private bool groundedPlayer;
    private float playerSpeed = 2.0f;
    private float jumpHeight = 1.0f;
    private float gravityValue = -9.81f;

    private void Start()
    {
        controller = gameObject.AddComponent<CharacterController>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        groundedPlayer = controller.isGrounded;
        if (groundedPlayer && playerVelocity.y < 0)
        {
            playerVelocity.y = 0f;
        }

        Vector3 move = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
        controller.Move(move * Time.deltaTime * playerSpeed);

        if (move != Vector3.zero)
        {
            gameObject.transform.forward = move;
        }

        // Changes the height position of the player..
        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && groundedPlayer)
        {
            playerVelocity.y += Mathf.Sqrt(jumpHeight * -3.0f * gravityValue);
        }

        playerVelocity.y += gravityValue * Time.deltaTime;
        controller.Move(playerVelocity * Time.deltaTime);
    }
}
