Moving player using character controller with new input system

[CeratoRaptor]

Hey everyone! I’ve been trying to learn Unity’s new input system. I prefer the character controller over using a rigid body, but it doesn’t seem that there are any tutorials on using the character controller. I’ve tried figuring it out myself, but the player doesn’t move when I press the assigned keys. I saw that it works as debug logs come out when I press the button, but for some reason, no matter what order I put the code in, the player won’t move. I have the script set up properly and everything, I just need to figure out how to use the new input system with the character controller. I know that with a rigid body you can use add force, and everything works. But you can’t do that with the character controller. I am using a public void outside of Update. If anyone could show me a way to do it, that’d be appreciated.

Thanks to everyone who helps!

Alrighty, basic rundown. sideMovement will be equal to one when “D” is pressed and -1 when “A” is pressed. forwardMovement will be 1 with “W” and -1 with “S”

float sideMovement = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal")
float forwardMovement = Input.GetAxis("Vertical")

This will tell you if the player jumped

bool canBhop = false;
bool jumped = Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space);
if (canBhop) {
    jumped = Input.GetKey (KeyCode.Space);
}

And this is how you move the character:

// moveSpeed is a float
// velocity is some Vector3 with velocity
// this function will move character by x every time you call it.

GetComponent<CharacterController>().Move (velocity * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

Here is a quick script I just made:

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class CharacterMovement : MonoBehaviour {
    public CharacterController cc;
    public float moveSpeed;
    public float jumpSpeed;
    public float gravity;
    public Vector3 velocity;

    void Start()
    {
        cc = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
    }

    public void Update()
    {
        float sideMovement = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
        float forwardMovement = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

        velocity.x = sideMovement;
        velocity.z = forwardMovement;
        
        bool isGrounded = cc.isGrounded;
        bool canBhop = false;
        bool jumped = Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space);

        if (canBhop) {
            jumped = Input.GetKey (KeyCode.Space);
        }

        if (jumped && isGrounded)
        {
            velocity.y = jumpSpeed;
        } else if (!isGrounded)
        {
            velocity.y -= gravity;
        }

        cc.Move ((transform.rotation * velocity) * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
    }
    
}
