Is there a way to make a Character Controller stop instead of move over obstacles??
I'm making a flying camera in a 3rd person game. I want the camera to stop moving when it hits an obstacle. I tried various raycast/spherecast techniques but none of them worked right.
So, I attached a Character Controller to the camera. It works pretty well, but it wants to climb over obstacles. I tried making the Slope Limit 0, but it still climbs over some stuff, or slides against the floor.
Is there any way to make the Character Controller come to a dead stop when it hits something? Perhaps by using the OnControllerColliderHit event/callback?
I've used something like this:
var stopDead = false;
function MoveOrStop(dir: Vector3)
{
stopDead = false;
var oldPos = transform.position;
controller.Move(dir);
if (stopDead)
transform.position = oldPos;
}
function OnControllerColliderHit (hit : ControllerColliderHit)
{
if (hit is something that should stop you)
stopDead = true;
}
This works very well--but one problem with it is it stays at the previous position ins$$anonymous$$d of backing the object out to the point of contact. If you move very fast, the previous position isn't very close to what you collided with.
I've not found a decent way to do this. I think I might just re-do the move with smaller and smaller increments until it doesn't collide.
Really wish Unity would just have a stop dead flag on the controller.
