Can't get character to fall with my Character Controller script it stays in the air

        player.Move((moveDirection + jumpVelocity) * Time.deltaTime);
    }

This is the code I used… its yours but I changed the jump to space, i put it all in fixedUpdate (even though it isn’t physics based like a rigidbody, I think it will have less jitter), and I added in a literal for gravity multiplier. This works for me.

using UnityEngine;

public class TypingThing : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float speed;
    public float jumpSpeed;
    public float airSpeed;
    public CharacterController player;
    private Vector3 moveDirection;
    private Vector3 jumpVelocity = Vector3.zero;


    void Start()
    {
        player = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
    }

    void FixedUpdate()
    {

        Vector3 moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
        moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
        if (player.isGrounded)
        {
            moveDirection.x *= speed;
            moveDirection.z *= speed;
            if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space))    // I just need space for testing
            {

                moveDirection.y = jumpSpeed;
            }
            else
            {

                moveDirection.y = 0;

            }
        }
        else
        {
            moveDirection.x *= airSpeed;
            moveDirection.z *= airSpeed;

            moveDirection.y += Physics.gravity.y * Time.fixedDeltaTime * 5f;    // 5f should be a gravity or something
        }
        player.Move((moveDirection + jumpVelocity) * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
    }
}

But, in your inspector, you do have a capsule collider. You don’t need that, get rid of it. Player controller handles everything for you. It could be the issue. If that isn’t the issue and still doesn’t fall, then you should look in your physics manager and look at your gravity setting… its possible you have no gravity.
