Character Controller Gravity, jumping, and momentum??

Physics
1

I have a movement script that using a character controller connected to my character and I am having trouble with gravity, jumping and momentum from isGrounded being off and being in the air.

I use the following script

var speed = 4.50;
var jumpSpeed = 8.00;
var gravity = 20.00;


function Update(){
	var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);
	if (controller.isGrounded) {

		moveDirection = Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
		moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
		moveDirection *= speed;

		if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")) {
			moveDirection.y = jumpSpeed;
		}
	}

// Apply gravity
moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;

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

Gravity - It seems to slowly float to the ground instead of just dropping like normal. How do I fix this?

Jumping - My character just suddenly appears up in the air just above were he was; How would I make this a gradual move up and down smooth instead of just appearing?

Momentum - When I am jumping or walking off a ledge I notice that I just drop straigt down instead of continuing forward awhile from momentum you would have normally had in real life. How do I make it have that momentum effect?

hi gore23

Gravity can be change by modify settings.

Edit → Project Settings → Physics
Gravity’s Y

I can’t answer other questions.

the gravity for rigidbodies work fine with curent gravity it is just the character controller character that has issues.

The Player movement script has a gravity that i apply by time.deltatime * 20 should that be at a much higher number?

Hmm… you could try removing the Time.deltaTime from this line:
moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;

As you’re multiplying your moveDirection by deltaTime finally before feeding it into the controller.Move() function.

anyone on the other 2 tops?

I would look into slerp for smooth transitions…

can i use slerp for the move function O.o or what
