I’m making a simple 3D scene with a character and a floor but the character is hovering, or falling through the scene if I put the y coordinate to a negative.
private void createCharacters() {
CapsuleCollisionShape capsule = new CapsuleCollisionShape(3f, 4f);
character = new CharacterControl(capsule, 0.01f);
model = (Node) assetManager.loadModel("Models/Ninja/Ninja.mesh.xml");
float scale = 0.25f;
model.scale(0.05f, 0.05f, 0.05f);
model.addControl(character);
character.setPhysicsLocation(new Vector3f(0, -0.15f, 0));
model.setShadowMode(ShadowMode.CastAndReceive);
character.setViewDirection(new Vector3f(1, 0, 0));
rootNode.attachChild(model);
getPhysicsSpace().add(character);
}
The above code makes the character fall through the scene. Changing it just a little bit to this makes the character hover:
character.setPhysicsLocation(new Vector3f(0, -0.09f, 0));
If you want to inspect all of the code it’s here

It appears this is due to this line of code:
and then you are scaling down the model. I dont know what the values passed in are, but i suppose one is a radius and the other one is a height, try moving down that 3f and that 4f to something lower, like 1.0f and 2.0f.
It seems the collision detection is pushing your character upwards because its collision shape is a capsule, which is of a different size than the model, and the model is placed in the middle of the capsule.
