I’m thinking about remaking a character controller that has been causing nothing but problems. The main problem is that it sticks to walls whenever you hold down the move because of addforce based movement. The jumping mechanic also has a problem where if the character is right next to a wall, the jump is less effective. I’ve tried fixing it using 3D physics materials, which had no effect, so either I should change something in the script or rewrite the script entirely. The plan for the future is to have the character follow a spline path, so if there is anything I should plan for, please let me know.
UPDATE:
I fixed the wall sticking issue by adding a frictionless physics material to the character as well as the wall.

There's a raycast I use for that in the script. There's another problem where if the character stands too close to a wall, it can't jump because of what I assume to be friction.
