Under what conditions could CharacterController.move( Vector3.zero ) actually cause movement?

Ya, so I later discovered this thread:

Does transform.position work on a charactercontroller?

Hey folks! I’m trying to warp my player to a certain position when it collides with a gameObject. The collision works fine, but when I try to set the players position, using transform.position = newPos.position; Nothing happens. The player stays at exactly the same position. This script is attached to the player gameObject. It’s driving me crazy. Perhaps it’s conflicting with the move script I have in the Update function (the usual controller.SimpleMove()), but I bypassed it and it still…

Apparently you have to either disable it, alter the transform, then enable OR you can call Physics.SyncTransforms(); after messing with the transform and it flushes the changes to the physics engine or some such. It actually jogged my memory that I had in fact used the same thing earlier in my project when I also needed to set the player position but it was so long ago that I just forgot about it… oh well. That’s cleared up at least.
