Character Walk on a Wall? (E.g Sonic running around a loop)

[KITATUS]

@Zak Middleton;24135

I think you’re hitting an inherent limitation of the character movement code at the moment, which is that the capsule is always vertically aligned and that the “floor”/“base” is always down.

If you want to try to work around it I think you either have to implement a custom mode, use a mode that is not PhysWalking, or change a bit of the current walking code to remove the vertical assumption and change the floor traces to trace relative to the capsule orientation. Other things like IsWalkable() would also have to be changed… it’s not a small task Something more scripted (matinee) is possibly the best option for now.

We’ve started an internal discussion about the possibility of relaxing these restrictions, but I can’t promise any sort of ETA or outcome at the moment. This thread has certainly been keeping it on our radar though, so thank you!

Thanks for letting me know Zak. I’ll continue to tinker around, but I’ll but a Matinee solution in place for now and I’ll continue to mess around to see if I can figure out a solution in anyway, or maybe someone on here can do it before me - Who knows Maybe we can come up with a solution that wouldn’t need a change of the source code; Who knows

Thanks for keeping us informed though; I’ll let you know if we figure anything out on here!
