public method Move(motion: Vector3): CollisionFlags;
public CollisionFlags Move(Vector3 motion);

Description

A more complex Move member taking absolute movement deltas.

Attempt to move the controller by motion. The motion is only constrained by collisions. It will slide along colliders. CollisionFlags is a summary of collisions that occurred during the Move. This method does not apply any gravity.

/// This script moves the character controller forward
/// and sideways based on the arrow keys.
/// It also jumps when pressing space.
/// Make sure to attach a character controller to the same game object.
/// It is recommended that you make only one call to Move or SimpleMove per frame.

// Apply gravity. Gravity is multiplied by deltaTime twice (once here, and once below // when the moveDirection is multiplied by deltaTime). This is because gravity should be applied // as an acceleration (ms^-2) moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;

// Move the controller characterController.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime); }
