Hello, i’m having a problem with unreal long since. My 2d character dosen’t touch ground but the character movement component says it does. How to fix it? I tried shifting the sprite down but then i have the same problem with the head that touches the ceiling without the player sprite. Edit: enabling the “simulate physics” on the capsule collider it touches ground perfectally but it can’t be moved. ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/e/4/e/e4e6b5bbcd98eaafa1d2744d14016e16c68dd3d0.png) ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/5/0/e/50ef7cb025190af048ba0d03c996a049b3fb10ae.jpeg) ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/3/9/c/39cc158d1c6dae1fd81a3b600eacd0081e515be1.png) ---

have you tried placing your character on a standard engine cube? ---

No, it still dosen’t touch the ground. My player is scaled to 0.04 for a gameplay necessity, maybe it’s this the problem? Edit: nop with 1 at scale on xyz it still has this constant offset from ground Edit 2: if you look at this video, my player touches the ground collider with the sphere and next it teleports up to this “ground offset” > **[Video senza titolo - Create and share your videos with Clipchamp](https://clipchamp.com/watch/eEGGmXvNo8m)** > > Watch videos made with Clipchamp, the best video maker for everyone. ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/3/1/2/3120ab351f3001333c3a0a546015ed02ba03ffbd.jpeg) ---

the character’s collision capsule needs to be set equal to the character itself, you most likely have an incorrect collision in the sprite plane ![2023-10-23_12-17-03](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/3/f/d/3fdf576167f12be2a5943e35728344b480f478c9.png) ---

I was using the default unreal cube to make tests and it has perfect collisions. Look at the video ---

I wrote earlier that the character’s capsule should be equal to the character’s flipbook ![losh](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/7/1/f/71f4e200e6b4d6e2a50d2bf17ee424d19a1a476d.png) ---

Can you scale this character very small and put it on a unreal engine cube and send me a screenshoot of it? I want to make sure it’s a common problem. thx ---

everything is fine, reduced by 100 times ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/c/5/e/c5e4ed62e8f20e223721f11f3b9ed747a290e078.jpeg) ---

I see but I can’t believe that it works for you. I tried to do the same stuff with the third person character from ue 5 on a default terrain of ue 5 and it does the same problem. Can you send me a screen like the one i made with the prospectic camera showing the collision in 2d? ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/1/9/4/1943ae6bb48c110713a0e5440cfdbdc903d49cd3.jpeg) ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/6/8/4/6840ee0d01e8af03928c66f83af088cd5b2fc8c2.png)
