Does transform.position work on a charactercontroller?

I know this is very old, but it's one of the few results that google gave to me when searching for a similar problem. I can confirm that a character controller will reset your direct transform.postion changes back to the previous location. If you wish to directly set the transform for a teleport or whatever you can fix this with:

charController.enabled = false;
charController.transform.position = new Vector3(some location);
charController.enabled = true;

Hopefully that will help some poor soul lost on the internet again in the future.

This solution solves the position problem but some callbacks like OnTriggerExit() stop from being called.
Best solution, IMHO, is this:

Auto Sync Transforms is there for backwards compatibility, just use Physics.SyncTransforms(); to flush changes made through the Transform to the Physics System.

This problem also can be fixed just by enabling Auto Sync Transforms in Physics settings
