Hmmmm I'm not sure. Maybe that's the shape you need to add to the polygon collider component

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:01 PM

#

no its using a tilemap collider

weary lodge Apr 5, 2023, 9:02 PM

#

is that particular sprite set to use the composite collider?

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:03 PM

#

its in a tilemap for the stairs

#

and i set the composite collider there
\

weary lodge Apr 5, 2023, 9:04 PM

#

hmmm I'm not sure then

#

the player hits it and just stops?

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:04 PM

#

yep

weary lodge Apr 5, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

maybe it's hitting another corner in there

#

like form the brick floor the stairs lead to

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

when i reduce the gravity

#

it allows me to go up

weary lodge Apr 5, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

because it looks like it's getting somehwat up the stairs

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

but then the gravity is too low

weary lodge Apr 5, 2023, 9:09 PM

#

hmmmm

#

try toggling on your gizmos in the scene preview

#

#

see how my stuff has a green outline?

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:11 PM

#

yeah theyre on

weary lodge Apr 5, 2023, 9:11 PM

#

can you send me a close up of the collider shape around the stairs?

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

weary lodge Apr 5, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

hmmmm

#

so the bricks don't even have a collider?

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

no theyre on a different tilemap

weary lodge Apr 5, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

ah, can you show that one?

#

maybe there's a clue there

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

#

weary lodge Apr 5, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

ok, so I can see how that's gonna stop your player going all the way up the stairs

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

yeah i see it too but it doesnt stop it all the way

weary lodge Apr 5, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

I'm not sure how the capsule collider handles it though

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

only the end

#

shouldnt*

weary lodge Apr 5, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

yeah, it's stopping before it gets up that high, right?

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

no it doesnt walk up at all

#

when i turn the gravity down its able to walk up to that point

weary lodge Apr 5, 2023, 9:16 PM

#

hmmmmmm

#

what about the rigid body of the player character?

#

here's mine

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:18 PM

#

weary lodge Apr 5, 2023, 9:18 PM

#

try setting angular drag to 0

#

as well as linear drag

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:19 PM

#

doesnt change anything

weary lodge Apr 5, 2023, 9:19 PM

#

try making a normal rectangle sprite with a collision body and rotate it 45 degrees

#

then plop your character down on it and see if it works

#

because that was definitely working for me

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:20 PM

#

nope

#

same thing

weary lodge Apr 5, 2023, 9:21 PM

#

hmmmm

#

I've got no clue then

#

maybe use some code to set the velocity manually based on the surface normal?

#

that seems like overkill though

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:22 PM

#

like with a raycast?

weary lodge Apr 5, 2023, 9:22 PM

#

oh hang on

#

yeah

#

but that seems like a mess to try and maintain

#

try throwing one of these bad boys on your tilemap

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:24 PM

#

🙁

#

doesnt work either

#

set the composite collider to be used by effector aswell and tried setting the tilemap collider used by effector/composite

#

oh well ill do the raycast ig sorry for wasting your time

weary lodge Apr 5, 2023, 9:25 PM

#

yeah, the effector should be the platform effector in that case

#

I'm stumped

#

it starts going up but then jump stops?

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:26 PM

#

no it doesnt at all

#

i made it so i dont fall off though by setting the player to kinematic when not doing anything

#

removed it and it still doesnt work tho

weary lodge Apr 5, 2023, 9:27 PM

#

that might be related

#

I'd leave it as dynamic and let the physics engine handle it for you

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:29 PM

#

removed it and its the same

weary lodge Apr 5, 2023, 9:36 PM

#

no clue then

#

usually whne I hit that point, I scrap it and start over

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:39 PM

#

what do you use for movement

#

@weary lodge

#

im using rigidbody addforce maybe thats a problem

weary lodge Apr 5, 2023, 9:42 PM

#

ah maybe. I'm just setting the velocity with a vector

brittle wing Apr 5, 2023, 9:45 PM

#

wait

#

@weary lodge

#

i just turned up the movement speed by a lot and clamped the x velocity

#

and it works

#
