Move the character

The character can be moved in three ways.

1. Changing the Position.

2. Using the Teleport function.

3. Changing the Velocity.

// Position
CharacterActor.Position = someVector3;

// Teleport
CharacterActor.Teleport( someVector3 );

// Velocity
CharacterActor.Velocity = someVector3;

Position

This property modifies the rigidbody position. Interpolation of the body will stop, meaning that (visually speaking) there will be an instant change from position A to position B.

Teleport

The difference between changing the rigidbody position and using the Teleport method is that the latter triggers the OnTeleport event, which can be very useful in some cases (for example to notify other objects about this action).

Teleport is used in the demo scenes in order to notify the camera to stop lerping out the movement and change the position/rotation values.

Velocity

This field corresponds to the rigidbody velocity. So, just like a normal rigidbody, the character will move from point A to B based on the velocity applied to it. If you want to know more about how velocity is handled please read the Velocity section.
