Title: translating against a wall causing issues
Post by: graniteoctopus on March 03, 2014, 09:55:29 AM

Greetings,
I'm working on a 3d platformer. For various reasons I've set it up so that my player character is a rigidbody whose movements on the x and z axis are handled with the translate action.

So far everything controls more or less like I want it, but if I move against a wall the character will kind of stutter against it. Also if I do this while airborne the character will stick to the wall at the same height until I release the movement key.

Does anyone know of any good methods to prevent the character from stuttering against a wall when moving towards it using translate? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

 you should moe your physics character using forces, not trying to force it's transform position by translating it. that's the problem.
