CharacterController Step Offset error

This worked fine in 4.3
all scaling set to 1
Radius .5
Height 1
Step Offset 10
I used this on a camera that was floating in the air, but if it hit some terrain, would just pop up to stay over the terrain.

I imported to 5.1.1 today and I get the following error message:

Step Offset must be less or equal to <scaled Height> + <scaled Radius> * 2
UnityEditor.DockArea:OnGUI()

Why is Unity deciding for me what the limit of a Step Offset should be?

Also the formula seems to be wrong.
You can read it two ways depending on when you multiply, but either way its wrong in the editor.
Radius 1 Height 1, the result is either 4 or 3 meters.
In the inspector when I set Step Offset to any number over 2.0, an Error message appears in the Console.

Is the formula bugged?

 

i also have this problem
did you solve it??

 

Nope.
Looks to me like they refuse to multiply by 2.
But I really dont understand the need for a limitation.

The only work around, short of writing your own character controller is to make the collider bigger, which is probably not ideal.

 

I had same issue too, but this occurs to me only when Character controller is inside the Canvas or another object. When I moved it out at the root it vanishes.

 

I have it set up in a root object.

 

Step Offset put to 0.

 

That does nothing.
With Radius and Height set at 1, Step Offset at 0 = you can get over 1 meter only

If that's working for you, getting you over 10 meters, then it must be a custom script.

Changing Step Offset to 3+ still gives the same error message.

 

There might be good reason for the limitation. imagine there was a roof over your object you want to step over, the collider wouldnt be able to detect it. so if you are sure there are usually no objects above your controller you may increase the height of it anyway, no?

 

thanks its Work

 

IK this is late but thanks... my code is now working after putting the step offset to 0

 

I got the same error and I solved it by modifying the scale of the model from the import and not from the transform
