Question Prevent looking through walls: Two scenes, same rigs, one works, one doesn't.

I have a project with several scenes. In all my scenes I used this to prevent players from looking through walls:

By default, the player is able to look through walls. You can achieve a simplistic solution that may be sufficient for your game/experience with the current version of the package, though it does involve setting up the XR Rig in a certain way. You can use a Character Controller component on the XR Rig to add a single capsule-shaped collider to represent the body and head of the player. Since it's just one single capsule collider, that does mean that you won't be able to, for example, lean your head out and over the railing of a balcony to look down since your body will be constrained.

If you add the Character Controller Driver behavior to the rig and set it to listen to the Continuous Move Provider, that behavior will drive the center position and height of the Character Controller based on the camera position whenever that Continuous Move Provider does a locomotion event. If you set Gravity Application Mode to Immediately on the Continuous Move Provider, that will make the events fire every frame instead of just upon thumbstick input. With this configuration, as you move your head/HMD, the Character Controller Driver will try to move the Character Controller to that position. If the wall has a Collider and you try to move your head through it, the rig will be pushed away due to the collision.

This works on all scenes except one. And for the life of me, I can't find why not. The XR Rig in the non-working scene is a direct copy of the XR Rig in any of the other scenes. One thing I do notice however, is that on the scenes where it works, I see the character's capsule-shaped collider move with the VR headset. In the scene where it doesn't work, the collider doesn't move - ever. I've compared all component settings of the XR Rigs and I see no difference whatsoever (see below).

So what could be causing the collider to stay stationary?

Found it. Apparently, under the Character Controller Driver, the Locomotion Provider was set to the Turn provider, not the Move provider. The screenshot above was from the correct scene, not the one with the error.
