Moving objects diagonally with the CharacterController.Move command

Hello there. I’ve been working on an AI that should be able to move diagonally to a position without having the CharacterController to look at it. Meaning GameObject.transform.forward should not need to point in the direction of the desired location.

void MoveObjectReversed(AIOwnerGameObject owner, Vector3 toPosition)
    {
        Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero;

        // Direction to move.
        // Owner - gameObject with some more features
        // owner.movementSpeed - float
        // IgnoreY(Vector3) - removes the y value
        moveDirection = (IgnoreY(toPosition - owner.position)).normalized * owner.movementSpeed;

        // Apply gravity
        // owner.gravity - Vector3
        moveDirection += owner.gravity;

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

Edit: I discovered the problem. It have nothing to do with this code. It’s working as intended :slight_smile:

Try:

moveDirection = (IgnoreY(toPosition - owner.position)).normalized * owner.movementSpeed;
