Hey @Cedric I am still having issues with getting my chracter controller working like you have the BABYLON.PhysicsCharaterController. I cant use (and frankly dont fully understand) your implmentation for movement, which is beautifully smooth, by the way, especalliy the stairs and slopes… Just beaut…

checkSupportand getDesiredVelocity are both on user side. A speed is computed depending on game/experience and states. If character is walking in mud, speed will be reduced. getDesiredVelocity needs to know the support (and inputs) to compute a velocity. Next, with that desired speed, integratewil…

I guess it’s possible to add a new moveWithCollision method that would do the conversion. It would take a same parameters as that method and would use a ‘dummy’ CharacterSupportedState. Would it help?

OMG… that would be a great help. I have all my code already calculated to FIXED FRAMERATE COMPENSATED movement velocity. I was using this value to move my rigidbody character controller with setLinearVelocity. If you made a moveWithCollision function, i should be able to feed that same exact movem…

Cool. I’ll give it a try beginning of next week. I’ll ping you for feedback when I have a draft PR opened.

Thank you so much :slight_smile:

Sorry for the delay! No progress but it’s still on my radar, I do not forget you :slight_smile:

OMG @Cedric That looks SOOOOOO MUCH cleaner and much easier to use. I have NOT tested it yet, moveWithCollisions not published yet… but the code so clean on the playground: BABYLON.Quaternion.FromEulerAnglesToRef(0,camera.rotation.y, 0, characterOrientation); const displacement = inputDirection.sc…

I’m so glad you like it :slight_smile: I’m adding a couple more features for characterController in the same PR so you have plenty of time to test it and send your feedback!
