Character Controller teleporting to ground instead of falling

Question

Hi, I have a character controller for my guy in a 2D platformer. It can jump normally with scripted gravity pulling it down over time. However, once I either A. Hit something above the character while jumping, or B. Walk off the edge of a platform, the character seems to teleport straight to the ground below it. Please help if you can, here is the code controlling vertical movement of the character:

void Update () {

         movement = Vector3.zero;
         HorizontalMovement();
         VerticleMovement();
     
         movement *= Time.deltaTime;
         //Add movement to CharacterController
         cc.Move(movement);
         
         if(cc.collisionFlags == CollisionFlags.CollidedAbove){
             velocity.y = Vector3.zero;//if we hit something above us, stop jumping upward
         }
     
 }
 
 void VerticleMovement(){
     if(cc.isGrounded){
         jumping = false;
         doubleJumping = false;
         velocity = Vector3.zero;//On ground, so reset velocity which is only used when in air
         
         if(controls.jump && jumping == false){//pressed jump button
             jumping = true;
             velocity = cc.velocity;
             velocity.y = jumpSpeed;
             controls.jump = false; //reset jump controls
         }
     }else{//Currently falling or in the middle of jumping upwards
         DoubleJump();
         if(controls.jump == true)//did user press jump while already jumping?
             controls.jump = false; //reset the jump
         velocity.y += gravity * Time.deltaTime;//update our verticle speed
     }
     
     if(cc.collisionFlags == CollisionFlags.CollidedAbove){
             velocity.y = Vector3.zero;//if we hit something above us, stop jumping upward
     }
     
     movement.y += velocity.y;//Add the updated velocity
     movement.y += gravity;// * Time.deltaTime;//add the effects of gravity
 }
 
 void DoubleJump(){
     if(controls.jump && !doubleJumping){
         velocity = Vector3.zero;
         jumping = true;
         velocity = cc.velocity;
         velocity.y = doubleJumpSpeed;//move upwards from last know upward velocity
         controls.jump = false; //reset jump controls
         doubleJumping = true;//we can't double jump again
     }
 }

This is probably not good ethics to do this, but no one has seem to answer you and I am pretty tired. SO I will give you my code for my own 2D platformer. I haven't added collision for above to reset jump velocity, but you have it down anyway. So sorry I can't answer to your specific question.

 class TwoDPlatformController ( MonoBehaviour ): 
     //public     test  = TwoDPlatformControllerJumping()  Access another class will also appear in inspector
     public walkSpeed   as single     = 6.0F
     public runSpeed       as single     = 10.0F
     public jumpSpeed   as single     = 8.0F
     public gravity     as single     = 20.0F
     public doubleJumpEnabled  as bool= true
     public extraJump as int          = 1
     public autoRotate  as bool       = true
     public maxRotationSpeed as single = 360
     
     private moveDirection as Vector3 = Vector3.zero
     private curNumJump    as int     = 0
     private curSpeed      as single  = 0.0F
     
     internal jumped       as bool    = false
     
     private jumpingApexReached as bool = false
     
     private controller as CharacterController
 
     
     def Update():
         PlayerMovement()
         HandleEvents()
         
         
     def PlayerMovement ():
         controller = GetComponent(CharacterController)
         
         // While character is grounded allow to jump and horizontal movement
         // Player is restricted in jump movement.  One way jump if double jump disabled
         if controller.isGrounded:
             curNumJump = 0
             jumped = false
             
             // Assign run speed when pressing left ctrl
             if Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftControl):
                 curSpeed = runSpeed
                 
             // Assign default walk speed
             else:
                 curSpeed = walkSpeed
                 
             // Apply vector direction, only focusing on X- axis
             moveDirection = Vector3( Input.GetAxis('Horizontal') * curSpeed, 0, 0 )
             
             // If player has jumped
             // Allow player to single jump while in air
             // Check if player has reached jump apex, used for animation states
             if hasSingleJumped():
                 SingleJump()
                 hasReachedJumpingApex()
         
         // Player is in the air
         // Allow the player the option of extra jumping, already checks if extra jumping is enabled
         // Check if player has reached jump apex, used for animation states
         // TODO: Future implementation, allow user to shoot while in air
         else:
             if hasExtraJumped():
                 ExtraJump()
                 hasReachedJumpingApex()
             
         
         ApplyGravityForce()
 
         // Apply new vector direction to the character controller
         controller.Move( moveDirection * Time.deltaTime )
         
     def SingleJump ():
     // Immediately present number of allowed mid air jumps when landed
     // Allow player to jump
         moveDirection.y = jumpSpeed
         jumped = true
             
     def ExtraJump ():
     // Allow player the capability to jump multiple times in mid air
     //  Number of times is based on 'extraJump'
     //  Once limit is reach player must land before jumping again
     // When jumping horizontal movement is unlocked for that jump then it will be locked again
     
         if curNumJump < extraJump:
             moveDirection = Vector3( Input.GetAxis('Horizontal') * walkSpeed, 0, 0 )
             moveDirection.y = jumpSpeed
             curNumJump += 1    
             
     def ApplyGravityForce ():
         moveDirection.y -= ( gravity * Time.deltaTime )
         
     def HandleEvents ():
     // Events taken place are of action types: shooting, special attacks, interactable object, etc
         pass
         
     def hasSingleJumped ():
         return ( Input.GetButtonDown( 'Jump' ) or Input.GetKeyDown( 'w' ) ) 
         
     def hasExtraJumped  ():
         return ( Input.GetButtonDown( 'Jump' ) or Input.GetKeyDown( 'w' )  and doubleJumpEnabled )
         
     def hasReachedJumpingApex ():
         if jumped and controller.velocity.y <= 0.0:
             jumpingApexReached = true
             return jumpingApexReached
         
         else:
             if controller.isGrounded:
                 jumpingApexReached = false
                 return jumpingApexReached
         
     def getSpeed ():
         return moveDirection.x

singles meant float. walkSpeed as single is the same as float walkSpeed. The jumpApex is returning when the character starts to descend after a jump.

Hopefully it helps in some way and sorry if the code looks scary, it is suppose to be reader friendly.
