Hello community, I’m working on a level where I want a character to be pulled into a hole when they stop moving. Additionally, I’d like the gravitational pull to increase as the character gets closer to the hole. I found this thread about a similar topic ([Pulling characters into a black hole - #6 by Everynone](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/pulling-characters-into-a-black-hole/458380/6)), but I’m struggling to make the character actually fall into the hole. Does anyone have any suggestions or insights on how to achieve this? Thank you! ---

> [@NigelSlaighter](#): > > Charakter wouldn’t fall into the hole. > Maybe someone has an idea? Try jumping or launching the character - does it help? The Character Movement Component has a tendency to keep characters _glued_ to the ground. When it comes to increasing force, get distance between the 2 objects and do `radius` - `distance`. * * * If it does not help, post script. ---

Thank you for your quick answer! I haven’t been able to reconstruct the blueprint yet, as I’m having difficulty locating most of the nodes. I apologize for my inexperience with the Unreal Editor. My inquiry was more theoretical: is there perhaps a simpler method to get the character to get drawn to something? ---

Thank you! This was exactly what I was looking for. However, the character isn’t falling through the hole because the force is preventing it. I tried placing the negative force within the hole to balance it out, but the character is still hovering. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this? I was considering implementing an attenuation to set the force to zero in the middle of the hole. ---

> [@NigelSlaighter](#): > > but I’m struggling to make the character actually fall into the hole. Could you clarify how this is supposed to work? We’re not making a black hole, surely? Do you have an opening in the floor towards which you simply want to pull the player; and, once close enough to the opening, let them fall through? Is that it? * * * The original suggestion would offer a fair bit of granular control over which axis pulls which way, how strongly and so on. The `Radial Force` component is rather simple, perhaps you could switch it off once the player has reached its location? Would that work? ---

The `Radial Force` component is rather simple, perhaps you could switch it off once the player has reached its location? Would that work? Yes, this would work perfectly but I couldn’t really find a way to disable it when the player approaches. Do you know something simple for that? ---

Any component can be set to be active or not. Or simply stop firing the impulse… ---

The issue is that the player is already within the component to be affected by the radial force. I’m struggling to determine a way to set the distance so that the force is deactivated only when the player is directly over the hole. ---
