# SimpleMove(Vector3)

> Moves the character with speed.

## Definition

* **Type:** Method
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.PhysicsModule

```csharp
public bool SimpleMove(Vector3 speed)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[Vector3]\(/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/vector3)): 

### Returns

| Type                                                          | Description |
| ------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| [bool](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.boolean) |             |

### Remarks

Velocity along the y-axis is ignored. Speed is in units/s. Gravity is automatically applied. Returns true if the character is grounded. It is recommended that you make only one call to [CharacterController.Move](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/charactercontroller/move.md) or [CharacterController.SimpleMove](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/charactercontroller/simplemove.md) per frame.

### Examples

```csharp
using UnityEngine;

[RequireComponent(typeof(CharacterController))]
public class CharacterMover : MonoBehaviour
{
    private float speed = 3.0f;
    private float rotationSpeed = 90.0f; // degrees per second

    private CharacterController characterController;

    void Start()
    {
        characterController = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float verticalInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

        // Rotate character
        transform.Rotate(Vector3.up, horizontalInput * rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

        // Move character
        Vector3 moveDirection = transform.forward * verticalInput * speed;

        characterController.SimpleMove(moveDirection);
    }
}
```
