Question Making player face wall

I have a character controller, if it touches a wall its status will become climbing. I need to transform the character so they face the wall perpendicular/head on.

Top down view (this is a 3D project). So character walks into wall/ladder.

When OnTriggerEnter happens on character controller compound colliders, make character controller face wall.


I have a point direction Vector3 variable so I know which direction the character is facing but I don't know how to get the wall surface position(?) and how to use it on the character.

 

Various Raycast functions can optionally give you a RaycastHit object back. One of the components of that is the

.normal

field, which is the vector pointing away from the surface at the precise point you hit it. With that you can orient your player to face the opposite direction, i.e, into the wall.
