Making good use of rigidbodies.

Anyone have any tips? I'm making my characters out of these guys so they can push each other around semi realistically. They slide a lot, though and bounce too much.

I have placed materials on them to help get the behavior I want and had some success, but just wondering if anyone else had anything to share that they know.

 

I remember watching a tut on Youtube where some guy, was explaining the difference between Rigidbody and Character Controller.

And when he made the object with the Rigidbody, go over a low poly gun object.
It "slid" after it landed on the other side.
I hope I had that right.
Here it is.

Maybe this might help you with the sliding problem.

Enjoy!!

 

Thanks, I got it figured out now. I made my own character controller so I can have it exactly how I want. Took me a few hours to get it sorted.

 

Nice!

 

Yeah. I wanted precise control over movement, but also for my characters to be able to be pushed around by the physics engine. I wanted a box collider for collision with floors and walls and a capsule collider for intercharacter collisions, plus using raycasting to check for walls and all that.
