How to prevent jumping while crouching?

This script is going to cause you ground-detection problems because it calls controller.Move() more than once in a frame (see lines 67 and 71 above).

This is on Unity because they have failed to update their example code which still to this day tells you it is okay.

I wrote about this before: the Unity example code in the API no longer jumps reliably.

If you call .Move() twice in one single frame, the grounded check may fail.

I reported it to Unity via their docs feedback in October 2020. Apparently it is still broken:

Here is a work-around:

I recommend you also go to that same documentation page and ALSO report that the code is broken.

When you report it, you are welcome to link the above workaround. One day the docs might get fixed.

If you would prefer something more full-featured here is a super-basic starter prototype FPS based on Character Controller (BasicFPCC):

That one has run, walk, jump, slide, crouch… it’s crazy-nutty!!

However, the one above will allow you to begin crouching mid-jump, but it doesn’t let you jump while crouched.
