HelloWorld & Basic Sound tutorials

Hello, hoping somebody has an answer for this. I've been trying to get this basic voice input working and have been running into an issue.

https://developers.meta.com/horizon/documentation/unity/unity-tutorial-basic-voice-input/

https://developers.meta.com/horizon/documentation/unity/unity-tutorial-hello-vr/

The issue is I receive and error that says...

Script 'CharacterController' has the same name as built-in Unity component.
AddComponent and GetComponent will not work with this script.

Both meta and unity have a CharacterController. I have been unable to get around this as I need the AddComponent and GetComponent to work.

I can't be the first person to come across this; particular when its in a hello world example and yet I can't find any information on it.

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks

    This is a name conflict

    You created (or imported) a script called CharacterController, which clashes with Unity’s built-in UnityEngine.CharacterController.

    Fix:

    • Rename your script (e.g. MyCharacterController)
    • Or explicitly reference Unity’s one:

    GetComponent<UnityEngine.CharacterController>();

    Unity won’t resolve AddComponent/GetComponent correctly when names collide, so renaming is the safest fix.

      Thanks for your reply but that's not it. If you read my post it says "Both meta and unity have a CharacterController." I did  not create this charactercontroller. Meta also has a charactercontroller so i can not rename it as its part of meta and its conflicting with the unity character controller. There has to be a way to pick one over the other but I can't find it.
