To implement a jump in Unity's Character Controller, you need to consider the mechanics of character grounding. Simply adding an upward velocity won't work because the ground snapping mechanism will keep the character grounded. Here's how you can effectively implement jumping:
Basic Jump Implementation
To make a character jump, you need to set an upward velocity and manually unground the character by setting the IsGrounded field to false. This prevents the ground snapping mechanism from snapping the character back to the ground.
void Jump(){if (IsGrounded){// Set upward velocityvelocity.y = jumpForce;// Unground the characterIsGrounded = false;}}Copied!✕CopyDouble Jump Implementation
For double jumping, you need to track the number of jumps performed in the air and reset this count when the character is grounded. Allow the character to jump again in the air if the number of jumps is less than the maximum allowed.
How to add "jump" in C# script in Unity3d using Character Controller?
Jun 16, 2020 · There is no need to calculate the angle and the rotation of the character since these are already calculated for you by Unity when you are using the CharacterController class.

When a user first presses the jump input, you can make the character jump regularly by assigning an upwards velocity equivalent to the jumping "base force" variable.
How to jump in Unity (with or without physics) - Game Dev Beginner
- Most of the time, the simplest way to create character movement in Unity, including making a player jump, is to do it with physics, by adding a Rigidbody component to the object and applying forces to it.
