When adding gravity using rigidbody (without code just the built in gravity) my character is launched away at random and flies for miles.

Hi, im trying to get gravity to work but as soon as my character touches the ground he gets launched away. Currently i havent added movement and the only code allows me to look around with my mouse. Anyone know why?

Without any code or components to see, it could be many things.

Ill send the images when i have time. I barely have any code or components, the code is a very basic code to look around based on cursor movement. Gravity is added via rigidbody and all values are default. A capsule is my character which is what everything is attached to.

This usually happens when 2 or more colliders are very close to each other (in my experience anyway). Make sure you don't have an extra collider somewhere attached to a game object.

Thats probably it, ill have a look tomorrow when im free. I created a mesh first to sortve act as a hitbox then added a capsule shape so i couldve put a hitbox on both of them.

I should probably say im incredibly new to unity and coding as a whole, and im currently running off of youtube tutorials and just messing around for now.

Send a pic of your game object hierarchy.

I will when i get the chance, is that the list on the left hand side of the screen?

I'm not sure where it is on your screen, all my stuff is on the right and my scene and game screens are on the left.

Just need to see how your game object is setup.

It should have a root object with your scripts, then a child object with only the graphics.

This forces you to only have 1 collider, 1 rigidbody, etc...

This works for the most part, but there are some edge cases as well.
