A CharacterController allows you to easily do movement constrained by collisions without having to deal with a rigidbody.
A CharacterController is not affected by forces and will only move when you call the Move funtion.
It will then carry out the movement but be constrained by collisions.

| detectCollisions | Determines whether other rigidbodies or character controllers collide with this character controller (by default this is always enabled). |
| enableOverlapRecovery | Enables or disables overlap recovery. Enables or disables overlap recovery. Used to depenetrate character controllers from static objects when an overlap is detected. |

| BroadcastMessage | Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object or any of its children. |
| CompareTag | Is this game object tagged with tag ? |

| GetInstanceID | Returns the instance id of the object. |
| ToString | Returns the name of the game object. |
| Destroy | Removes a gameobject, component or asset. |
| DestroyImmediate | Destroys the object obj immediately. You are strongly recommended to use Destroy instead. |
| DontDestroyOnLoad | Makes the object target not be destroyed automatically when loading a new scene. |
| FindObjectOfType | Returns the first active loaded object of Type type. |
| FindObjectsOfType | Returns a list of all active loaded objects of Type type. |
| Instantiate | Clones the object original and returns the clone. |
| bool | Does the object exist? |
| operator != | Compares if two objects refer to a different object. |
| operator == | Compares two object references to see if they refer to the same object. |
| OnCollisionEnter | OnCollisionEnter is called when this collider/rigidbody has begun touching another rigidbody/collider. |
| OnCollisionExit | OnCollisionExit is called when this collider/rigidbody has stopped touching another rigidbody/collider. |
| OnCollisionStay | OnCollisionStay is called once per frame for every collider/rigidbody that is touching rigidbody/collider. |

| OnTriggerExit | OnTriggerExit is called when the Collider other has stopped touching the trigger. |
| OnTriggerStay | OnTriggerStay is called almost all the frames for every Collider other that is touching the trigger. |
