# OvrCharacterController

Subclass of Ovr.OvrNode

### Description

This Node is used to manage the most common interactions with the Unity [CharacterController](https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CharacterController.html) Component.

This OVER Component requires a CharacterController to be set up, see [Unity Manual](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-CharacterController.html) for more info.

Based on the action the CharacterController is required to perform, this component changes its behavior and requirements.

### Action Types

The OVER SDK provides several ways to interact with the Unity CharacterController Component. A list can be found in [OvrCharacterControllerActionType](/over-sdk-manual/ovr-component-system-ancient-legacy/nodes/unity-components-interactors/ovrcharactercontroller/ovrcharactercontrolleractiontype.md).

#### Movement

Allows the user to handle the movement of the target CharacterController. SimpleMove allows the user to implement a simple movement of the character, by simply applying speed, Move allows for a more elaborate movement type, applying motion to the GameObject attached to the CharacterController.
