Hi!
I’ve been dealing with a long term problem which I haven’t been able to solve for a month now. I have a first person character which I made from an empty character.
After I land from a jump or fall on landscape or a mesh, my character starts to slide uncontrollably, or gets stuck and I can’t control it’s movement.
This ONLY happens if camera is looking below it’s own location on Z-axis and ALWAYS stops immediately if camera’s view goes above it’s own location on Z-axis.
This problem persists on a packaged version of the project, which my friends tried on their own PC’s.
I have tried
- Adding horizontal and vertical spring arms to characters camera (no effect in any way)
- Changing friction settings between 0-5000 (higher friction makes the sliding slower, but it happens nevertheless)
- Modifying capsule components size
- Changing walkable floor angle and step height on movement component
- Increasing linear and angular damping on capsule component
- …
It usually seems like the character “pops up”, just before I gain control of it again. I made a notation on the video, when this happens. This seems to be a collision problem, because touching objects which simulate physics, can also set the character on a sliding mode, which lasts several seconds or until camera’s view is lifted.

Here’s a video of the problem and image of character settings in the video.
Please ask if you need more material or the project itself. Thank you for your time!
