Objective complete - mini debriefing
In this section, we created a script called the
CharacterControl
script that we can use to
control the character's movement by using the
Move()
function in the
CharacterControl-
ler
component. This function needs the
Vector3
direction passed in and returns
Colli-
sionFlags
, which are very convenient to track the position of the character that has been
collided.
Note
We can get
CollisionFlags
by accessing the
CharacterController
component, which in
our case, can be done using
_characterController.collisionFlags
. For ex-
ample, we can use this flag to check if the character only hits the ceiling by using the fol-
lowing expression:
If (_characterController.collisionFlags ==
CollisionFlags.Above) {…}

We also applied
GRAVITY
while the character falls down from the jump or from the plat-
form where there is no collider. Also, we used the
OnAnimatorMove()
function to con-
trol the animation state.
