Character Controller component as seen in the Scene Inspector

Description

The Character Controller component is used for user movement and simulating physics, and has many settings and values that can alter the way on how a user can control either their self or another slot (For example: Vehicles). These Settings allow you to control the mass, speed, force, etc.

When getting the character controller of a user, avoid using the user root. Instead use the locomotion modules within the user root as they can provide the character controller that references the user.

Usage

This component is usually used internally by Resonite to simulate user movement physics like walking and climbing.

But the node can also be manipulated to create "Fake Players" commonly known by Resonite users as "NPC's". Before doing this, know that the physics simulation is always inconsistent when viewed by different players in the same session. It also causes high amounts of networking and FPS lag. Use too many and you may start rising in Queued Packets. The character controller can also be used as a ball, but for things that fly or bounce, using a Trajectory Position ProtoFlux node is vastly superior.
