Ninja Character - Dynamic gravity for characters & objects

I didn’t see this mentioned in the thread but it looks like physics isn’t imparted to actors all the time. For example, if you go into the playground at the end of the example map and orient yourself so you and your gravity is perpendicular to one of the sets of 3 cubes of descending size and then jump into the smallest one, it doesn’t move at all. If you go back so you’re on the same plane as the cubes, you can run into them and they move just fine. Is this a bug, a limitation or just something that needs to be configured differently?

Sorry but I couldn’t reproduce the issue you’re describing, I tried several orientations but the smallest cube always moves after landing on it from a side. A recorded video or a map file would help to see what’s wrong.

Hi @Xaklse, i seem to have an issue plugging in the character movement component into “Set Fixed Gravity Direction”. When I hover over the character movement component, it does say it’s the Ninja character, and it’s parented correctly. This is your Character in the plugin. i can’t compile without a target, but when I drag out, I don’t have any options other than casting to the character movement. But if I cast, I’m not sure what to plug into the “Object”.

The “Character Movement” node you have there is a standard CharacterMovementComponent, you have to convert it to NinjaCharacterMovementComponent first; mouse-drag from the blue pin of the node to anywhere, a pop-up appears, make sure the “Context Sensitive” checkbox is active, search for “ninja” and select the casting option; the result should be a valid Target for the “Set Fixed Gravity Direction” node.
