The Dash : Weirdly Problematic

Originally, we thought to add a force to push the player. Initially, this worked, though with complications. However, when we switched to CharacterController, it did not work at all.

AddForce()

Lerp()

The far better solution for our case. Uses linear interpolation (a + (b-a)*t) in a loop, in a coroutine, to quickly move the player to a predetermined dash destination, but not through walls.
