Making a character controller work with physics
so my game is mostly physics based, and I'm trying to get a good player movement system in place. just using a rigidbody would make sense but then there's the problem of going up stairs and slopes. Basically I want to try to get my character controller to interact with physics. How should I go About doing this? Or would it be easier to just try and get a rigidbody controller to work with stairs and slopes?
Well you can make rigidbodies go up stairs. Of course it won't be that easy as using character controller. I haven't been able to make it as smooth as with character controller. You can do make collider move over steps by doing raycasts (or any other supported shape casts) and then move your character based on what is ahead, change rigidbody's velocity direction. You could also make stair collision shapes to be ramps, instead of using visual mesh for collision.

You cannot use the character controller with Unity Physics, I would just use a rigidbody controller, and give stairs a sloped collider, as opposed to a stair collider
Ok this is actually a very good idea I never thought of this. Thanks.
