First, I'm an incredible newb when it comes to Unity. That being said, I purchased a book on Unity Game Development. In it, there is an FPSWalker script. I thought I'd adapt it a bit in order to make a side-scrolling, 2.5D "Megaman" style game. What's weird about it is that although the code works beautifully for a simple Capsule gameobject, it won't work at all for a complex, animated model I imported. I have no clue why that's the case. Here's my code...

var speed = 6.0;
var jumpSpeed = 8.0;
var gravity = 20.0;

private var moveDirection = Vector2.zero;
private var grounded : boolean = false;
var controller : CharacterController;

function Start() {
    var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);   
}

function fixedUpdate() {
    if (grounded) {
        moveDirection = new Vector2(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0);
    moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
        moveDirection *= speed;

       if (Input.GetButton("Jump")) {
            moveDirection.y = jumpSpeed;
        }
    }

    moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
    var flags = controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
    grounded = (flags & CollisionFlags.CollidedBelow) != 0;
}
@script RequireComponent(CharacterController)

Any help would be great. I'm really trying to wrap my head around this. It seems like a very powerful tool :-)
