Parkour [Wallrun, Ledge Climb]

So I am looking to edit the default first person controller to get some parkour functions in there. I am starting with the wall run first as I think its a pretty staple part of parkour and then look at ledge grasping/climbing.

I want to try get the same feel as the ParkourFortress TF2 mod (inspired by mirror's edge but a bit more wacky). There's a good example here at 0:31;

So far my thought process is to have an if statement on the jump to check if they are attempting to wall run.... It seems to work without any issues;

Code (CSharp):

1.                     if (Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") != 0 && !m_IsWalking) {
2.  
3.                         if (Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") > 0) {
4.                             direction = right;
5.                         } else
6.                         {
7.                             direction = left;
8.                         }
9.  
10.                         if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position,direction,out hit,1) && hit.transform.tag == "Wall")
11.                             {
12.                             m_Jump = false;
13.                             wallRun(direction);
14.                             }
15.                             else

But I am now stuck as to how I should do the wall run. The way its done on the parkour fortress mod allows the player to wall run around rounded corners (2:13 in the video above). I thought this could be done by applying a force in the direction of the wallrun and then modifying the y value but I feel like there may be better ways to do this...

What's the best way to do this?

Parkour's cool so I flagged to watch for answers, but then I searched google and github for Parkour then filter by C#, read about Lemma game which is all about the parkour AND has release the engine on github. --> https://github.com/etodd/Lemma

 

is this using CharacterController or Rigidbody?

 

Awesome, I will check this out!

CharacterController

 

Lol ive been searching for hours

 

This is a 2 year old thread.... I ended up making a customer controller using various ray casts.

 

bro, just do on collision enter and get the desired tag, then set the gravity variable to 0. do a on collision exit then set gravity to what you wanted
