Make rigidbody controller feel like character controller

Hi,

Is there any way to make a rigidbody character controller less slippery/not jumping on hitting slope, and make it stay grounded just like a normal character controller ?
I need to use a rigidbody controller because I need it to rotate at some point, which is not possible with a character controller

 

Does this help?

What exactly do you mean by that?

 

I'm going to check this thanks ! It's using a rigidbody character controller right ?

I need to rotate my character 180 degrees in the Y axis (reverse it vertically)

 

If you just want a CharacterController with the functionality to rotate the underlying model, you can just create an Empty GameObject to which you attach the CharacterController and add your model as a child. Then you can rotate the child however you want without rotating the character controller.

Of course, if you want to do something differently or need some properties of the RigidBodyController you have to go with that, but from what you have explained so far, it rather sound like you were trying to use a RigidBodyController for something that a normal CharacterController is perfectly capable to do.

 

Yes, they are setting rigidbody.velocity directly in that script. I have never tried that script I'm just hoping it solves your issue.

 

Putting the CharacterController inside an empty game object seems to work, but there are still some problems.
I want to make a gravity reverse mechanic and making the character rotate when the gravity is reversed, doesn't work well with the standard CharacterController

 

What problems are there? You can rotate the model with the empty GameObject and then all that is left to do is applying gravity in the +y direction.

 

Hey you're right, I think the problem I had was with the standard asset fps controller, not the character controller component iteself
Like the controller wasn't immediately affect by Physics.gravity change and rotation was buggy. I'm going to try it again thanks

 

Is there a way to make a parent object follow it's child position ? Since i'm moving the character controller object and i'm using it's parent to rotate it, I need the parent and the child objects to be in the same position

I just read your post again, I WANT to rotate the character controller and i'm not using any model.
At some point, I want my character object (with it's character controller component) to do a 180 degrees rotation in the Y axis, simulating a gravity inverting effect

 

If you don't have a model, then I think you don't need an empty GameObject at all. I am not entirely sure, but I don't think it is a good idea to rotate the CharacterController - this will probably mess some things up since it wasn't designed for that.
What I am suggesting is that you keep the CharacterController in its normal rotation and only rotate the underlying model, camera, or whatever your visual representation of the character is. Then you can use your not-rotated CharacterController to move; you only have to be careful to move it in the right direction (for example applying gravity in the +y direction).
