Walking on walls?

To run up walls isn't bad, but gets trickier depending upon how you implement your running in the first place.

The simple solution is to raycast in the direction you are running and align your animations to the surface if it is within a certain distance (the distance you'll be moving in the current frame for example). If you add inertia or anything like that, you'd want to consider that too.

I recommend looking at the locomotion system for more on aligning animations to a surface.

Raycasting is simple.

var hit : RaycastHit;
if(Physics.raycast(transform.position, moveDirection, hit, amoutToMoveThisFrame) {
    //align yourself to hit.normal as up
}

Also, since you know that the normal you're aligned to is not the world up, you can do smart things like balancing the weight against the surface (wall running la Prince of Persia).

You should also take into account collisions and the character's lean if they lean into their running animation.

Take a look at my answer to this question:

http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/155907/basic-movement-walking-on-walls.html

It posts a script that allows a rigidbody character to walk on any surface - it even jumps to a wall if close enough.

Another "easy" way to do this, using Unity's charactercontroller is by using "Slope Limit". It's a build-in function which allows you to change how high a slope your character can walk, run or climb. - I know this isn't exacly like PoP but it's a start, right? :)

Hope this will help :)

I'm always late in answering questions on Unityanswers, but...

 function Pace (normal : Vector3, vect : Vector3)
         {
         //By dot product/negative inverse, this is orthogonal to the normal
         var right : Vector3 = Vector3(normal.y,-normal.x,0); //in world space
         var forward : Vector3 = Vector3(0,-normal.z,normal.y); //in world space
         right.Normalize();
         forward.Normalize();
         
         //the direction the player will move (tangential),
         //which is a combination of any two non-parallel vectors on the correct plane
         var direction : Vector3;
         direction = right*vect.x + forward*vect.z;
         direction.Normalize();
         return direction;
         }
 
 function GetMoveDir (horizontal : float, vertical : float) //The basic user-input function, which calls subsequent f(x)'s
     {
     moveDir = Vector3(horizontal, 0, vertical);
     moveDir.Normalize(); //makes sure the player can't travel @ 1.41x diagonally
     }
 
 function FixedUpdate ()
     {
     GetMoveDir(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"),Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
     }

The first function takes in the "vect" from "GetMoveDir," all you have to do is insert the "normal" from a raycast.

Should work 100% of the time if I copied the right bit.

Also, I always use Translate(vector, Space.World) or more recently Rigidbody.MovePosition, Translating an object with respect to itself gets annoying during jumps, as you have to recalculate every--single--frame.

This will work on walls and ceilings. It'll work as you expect on walls and floors, but if I'm not mistaken, ceiling controls will be inverted.

I wrote all this myself, so I should know the fine details a little better, but w/e.
