Godot character physics
Helps your character jump, land and ride platforms consistently. It connects movement rules to Godot physics so the same controls behave predictably at different frame rates.

See how it helpsWhen is it useful?
Use when jumps, slopes or moving platforms behave inconsistently.
What does it help you do?
- Distinguishes CharacterBody movement from RigidBody simulation ownership.
- Keeps velocity and displacement correct within physics updates.
- Checks collision layers, buffered input and platform velocity.
Try asking this
In our platformer, build a jump that still works briefly after leaving a ledge. Test a steep slope, a moving lift and a low ceiling; show that landing resets the jump and riding the lift does not launch the character.

Godot — character physics
Use when building Godot player movement, collisions, slopes, platforms or jump feel.
Version and project gate
Inspect project.godot, config/features, .tscn and .tres files, export_presets.cfg without credentials, input actions, autoloads, renderer, physics backend and installed Godot executable. Distinguish Godot 3 from 4 before selecting APIs. Never turn a task into an engine upgrade without the user’s intent. Read the version-matching official reference when an API decision depends on it.
Work
Identify CharacterBody versus RigidBody ownership. Keep physics movement in the physics tick; distinguish velocity from displacement and engine gravity conventions. Specify grounded, airborne and buffered-input transitions. Evaluate collision layers and platform velocity before tuning jump parameters.
Deliver
A movement contract with units and state transitions, plus an isolated player scene and tunable parameters. Keep the change in the existing project structure; separate actual observations from the proposed acceptance scenario below.
Failure to prevent
Do not mix transform writes and physics ownership or multiply a velocity by delta twice.
Acceptance scenario
Reproduce a wall corner, slope, moving platform, low frame rate and jump immediately after leaving an edge. Follow the project’s execution and verification permissions. If execution or a target device is unavailable, provide the reproduction steps and name the remaining uncertainty; do not mark it passed.
