How to get a specific contact point from a CharacterController collider hit?

Hi, I am using a CharacterController that is moved via the Move() function. I also have some hit detection using

        void OnControllerColliderHit(ControllerColliderHit hit) 
        {
             Debug.Log( hit.normal );
        }

If I am running into a wall (and grounded), the output would be :

(-1.0, 0.0, 0.0)
(0.0, 1.0, 0.0)

which I am assuming is outputting both the ground hit and the wall hit. If I am airborne and hit a wall, it will only output (-1.0,0.0,0.0).

My question is how do I retrieve only the hit normal of ONE of the points? All I’m simply trying to do is check if the hit normal.x is == 1 or -1, but if it is grounded, it keeps returning both true and false. Thanks!

It is because most likely it’s reading from multiple objects. Maybe the floor? You need to specifically ask for the cube.

if ( hit == {GameObjectLookingFor} )
{
  ..//do code
}

You say that this only happens when you are not airborne. That’s what makes me think it has something to do with reading from both the cube and floor .

I hope that solves your issue .
