Sphere falling through floor

Question

I made a little setup by following the tornadotwins tutorial on youtube with a sphere and i cant get it to work. The sphere keeps falling through the floor. This is my script i have applied to my sphere.

var speed = 3.0; var rotateSpeed = 3.0;

function Update () { var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);

 // Rotate around y - axis
 transform.Rotate(0, Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") * rotateSpeed, 0);
 
 // Move forward / backward
 var forward = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
 var curSpeed = speed * Input.GetAxis ("Vertical");
 controller.SimpleMove(forward * curSpeed);

}

@script RequireComponent(CharacterController)

You did put a collider on the floor, right? And nothing is set to 'is trigger'?

the floor is a cube and it has a box collider and mesh renderer the sphere has a mesh renderer character controller the script attatched to it a sphere collider and a rigidbody.

I am having the same issue, with Unity 3.3, the floor is has a box collider and a rigid body. The sphere has a sphere collider and the following script:

var speed = 3.0; var rotateSpeed = 3.0; function Update () { var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController); transform.Rotate(0, Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") rotateSpeed, 0); var forward = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward); var curSpeed = speed Input.GetAxis ("Vertical"); controller.SimpleMove(forward * curSpeed); } @script RequireComponent(CharacterController)

The ball still falls through the floor.

it's moving too fast. The collider missed by a frame. http://www.unifycommunity.com/wiki/index.php?title=DontGoThroughThings
