I will surely get to C++ eventually, don’t know if I am ready for that yet lol.
I still think something could be or should be able to be done with that kind of approach, physics based or otherwise. Get the location and velocity of the wall, and if the player is overlapping (capsule or mesh) then do something, In what you just described it would be to turn physics on and apply a force when overlapped then turn off when not. Going back to earlier in this thread… if I apply this code below to the third person character.
You will notice on that video that the stepping effect does not happen, but then the player is being pushed along, “offset”? all the time anyway.
Imagine then if that effect happened “just” when TPC overlapped the wall. As pointed out earlier in this thread, the problem is not when player jumps into the moving wall, as collision will cause the capsule to be blocked, and blocked smoothly, the problem then is when player Is Landed and is pushed by the wall, and the inherit shape of the capsule component causes this stepping effect.
If the wall makes contact (hit event)
Toggle the physics simulation.
The push and movement should just happen without anything special since you are now setting the capsule component to be able to simulate/react to the environment (That’s the point of toggle simulate physics on/off).
Then you just need some sort of system that brings you back to not simulating.
So then in the camera actor blueprint that has the moving cube attached to the camera, I check for collision between the moving cube and that box I just added to the TPC, and if so I add an offset matching the moving cube’s offset / speed.
For some reason, it has to be that box to check for in the IsOverlapping or it does not work, I tryed with the CC and it was the same og problem in the OP.
Also, you probably don’t need the box. You can detect collisions purely from the pushing box, and implement an interface on the character Or just cause the box to move the character after it detects its a character.
