Research direction

Start by reproducing the FirstPersonCharacter setup from the linked Unity Character Controller documentation in a sub scene with terrain. Check the character and terrain configuration involved in collision and movement, then confirm the character remains supported by the terrain instead of falling through it.

Description

I add FirstPersonCharacter to a sub scene as in https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.charactercontroller@1.2/manual/get-started-first-person.html. However, the character falls through terrain.
