Character Walker

Not sure what to call it really, but it helps characters walk over objects.

You’ll get what I mean in the video - need a better name!

What about portable steps?

Foot Bridge
Field Traversal
Byway Solver

Pedo-Porter?

I like portable steps so far.

Step flaps?

If you’re considering naming it, do it fast because I’m done with the implementation and testing. Whatever the name I choose will become the github repo name.

Voxel Paddles? (—lots of characters here—)

DuckStep ? (—lots of characters here—)

NightWalk? (the silly fliller for 20 character limit, hehehe)

I’d simply name it UrhoStep , so it sounds something like Euro step , that basketball move…

EnvironmentAwareCharacterController (no filler needed, pun intended)

Thank you all for your suggestions, but I decided on this:

edit: changed the default stepUpDuration value in the repo.
edit2: updated repo once again- added surface step normal and max height checks.

I don’t like how this works and just may try something else. There are two limiting factors that I dislike, both related to animation and should do away with relying on animation all together.

Revamped:

• stepper no longer relies on the foot or animation
• removed dbg textures
• charImpulse is no longer defaulted to true

If anyone was testing this, I’d appreciate any feedback on the new implementation.

Ok, I’m wrapping this up. repo updated - steppernode is no longer enabled/disabled in the stepperenable() function to save btrigidbody from being destroyed and re-added to the world.

One should consider calling stepperenable from the Character class when jumping/falling to prevent the stepper from catching on to a side of a wall or whatever.

Hi,
have you tried to benchmark how many characters it can run at the same time?

I haven’t specifically benchmarked the height stepper, but I have benchmarked kinematic, trigger bodies that constantly move in the world - see
