Rotate player to align with floor
I can't seem to figure out how to get my character to walk along the normal of a surface. This is what I have tried and I can't figure out why it doesn't work:
Ray ray = new Ray(transform.position, Vector3.down);
RaycastHit hit;
if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))
{
transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(hit.normal);
}
Instead of being perpendicular to the surface, my character will walk parallel to the ground.
Also, I have a part of my code that helps move my character based on the camera's look direction, so I want to make sure whatever solution I find is compatible with this:
if (Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") != 0 || Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") != 0)
{
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, pivot.rotation.eulerAngles.y, 0f);
Quaternion newRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(new Vector3(moveDirection.x, 0f, moveDirection.z));
playerModel.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(playerModel.transform.rotation, newRotation, rotateSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
}
