Now my player character has Character controller and Rigidbody.

I want my player character also affected by enemy’s attack’s physics effect.

But someone says as far as character controller is attached, it impossible.

Then, must I erase controller? And rebuilding movement script?

Is it possible?

Other way?

Thanks.

It is possible, but it doesn’t make sense.

Use this instead [http://www.unifycommunity.com/wiki/index.php?title=RigidbodyFPSWalker](http://www.unifycommunity.com/wiki/index.php?title=RigidbodyFPSWalker)
