Unity AI character controller gravity
I am trying to add gravity to my "residents" of a town builder game. Basically the residents just walk around to a random location, wait 2 seconds then do it again. I am trying to add gravity to them so they don't float.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class Resident : MonoBehaviour
{
private Vector3 location;
private Quaternion rotation;
private int speed;
private Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero;
private bool canRotate = true;
Vector3 moveVector;
CharacterController controller;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
transform.rotation *= Quaternion.Euler(-90, 0, 0);
controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
speed = 5;
SetRandomPos();
StartCoroutine(ExampleCoroutine());
}
void Update()
{
int gravity = 20;
moveDirection = Vector3.zero;
//Check if cjharacter is grounded
moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
// Move the controller
controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
float step = speed * Time.deltaTime;
transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, location, step);
if (canRotate)
{
transform.LookAt(location);
transform.rotation *= Quaternion.Euler(-90, 90, 0);
canRotate = false;
}
if (transform.position == location)
{
StartCoroutine(ExampleCoroutine());
}
}
void SetRandomPos()
{
location = new Vector3(Random.Range(transform.position.x - 10f, transform.position.x + 10f), transform.position.y, Random.Range(transform.position.z - 10f, transform.position.z + 10f));
canRotate = true;
}
IEnumerator ExampleCoroutine()
{
//yield on a new YieldInstruction that waits for 5 seconds.
yield return new WaitForSeconds(2);
//After we have waited 5 seconds print the time again.
if (transform.position == location)
{
SetRandomPos();
}
}
}
Above is the whole code if it is needed. But
moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
// Move the controller
controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
These two lines are the gravity lines I tried added and very weird things happen such as the resident teleporting up if it touches anything, even the ground. What can I do? I basically just want the residents not to float above the ground and follow the slopes of the land like regular walking.
