I have a character which is controlled with physics stuff like Spring Joint and Constant Force (The character is active ragdoll).
I want to stick the character's legs to the ground and when it is bent left and right, the entire character doesn't move on the ground.
What is the way to achieve it ?
Currently I use Fixed Joint on both legs with Constant Force but still the character moves around when there is sudden force on upperbody.
As you can see in the gif.

Put an OnComponentBeginOverlap event on 'BP_WaterRegion' that checks what kind of actor it's just overlapped with. If it's the player character then you can set the MaxWalkSpeed variable on the character from there. The OnComponentEndOverlap event should be self-explanatory now.
If you select 'WaterMesh' you should find these events at the bottom of the Details panel.
(It's a while since I've worked in UE - you might need to connect the output from the cast node to the == node instead.)
I have a brand new blueprint derived from the Character class, and I've added a Projectile Movement Component onto it. I'm having trouble making the character Jump.
The reason why I want to do this is I want to use the projectile movements bounce physics while my Character is in the air, but while they are on the ground use the Character Movement Component to move.
If I set the initial speed of the Projectile Component I can spawn with some forward momentum. However if I try to bind any kind of force or change in velocity to some user input - my character refuses to leave the ground!

When I spawn in the game world, I can see "Jumping" displaying properly but I do not move:

Can someone help me understand why this is happening and how to fix it? I'm fine with C++ solutions as well (I've also tried AddForce function in C++ but have the same problem!)
I have noticed that if I tick "Rotation Follows Velocity" in the Projectile Component then I do get some movement but its super weird and jerky and not at all useable.
I have a 2D environment where an object falls (a trap) and a box collider component is moved with a timeline to follow the movement with SetRelativeLocation.
Since the trap is near a wall if I leave the Sweep option unchecked in some cases the character will stuck mid air between the trap and the wall.
Sweep off
If I turn on Sweep this will not happen and the character is pushed to ground correctly but since the collider "slows down" for some frames it seems to be in the middle of the sprite.
Sweep on
Teleport option seems to have no effect on this behaviour.
Is there any way to have the sweep effect with the collider keeping his velocity and keeping the structure as it is with the collider moved by a timeline?
I feel like I'm missing something really simple but I'm losing my head on this.
Thanks!
Since it's 2D, have you tried blocking the input when your character collides? I would add a simple collider in front of your character and when it is overlapped, I'd limit the input in the direction your character goes, ie.:
Character collides right
MoveRight(float Scale): Clamp Scale to (-1.f, 0.f); AddMovementInput(...
Hope it helps!
I'm having a simple cube which is my character that can jump on a moving quad (left to right vise-versa) having a collider with friction physics material.The issue i'm facing is when the character jumps on the moving quad, instead of carrying the character along with the quad it leaves the character, friction didn't happen between quad and character in order to carry the character.I tried playing around with physics settings and also tried with a cube instead of a quad.
Im tweeting the quad for animation(Dotween),character has collider (friction material),rigid-body (angular drag - 0.05,drag - 0)

My Issue of quad moving without character
I don't understand this should be taken care of unity's physics engine.we shouldn't be configuring unnecessarily or am i missing something?
I'm using the first person controller for my characters movement. On a left arrow keypress, I'd like the character to instantly rotate 90 degrees and keep moving forward. Currently, when I hit the arrow key, the character makes the sharp 90 degree turn, but the forward momentum the character previously had takes a second to wear off so the character ends up sliding in the direction he was previously moving a short bit.
The closest example I can think of to visually explain what I'm trying to do is how the character turns sharp in Temple Run. How my game is currently working, if I had the character on a ledge make a sharp left turn, he'd likely keep the original momentum and slide off the edge right after he turns.
Since my character is running on the x/z axis, I'm wondering if there would just be some way to maybe swap the directional velocity/momentum? The speed the character had on the x axis would instantly be switched to the z when it turns and the other would be set to zero. I'm obviously open to any solution that accomplishes what I'm looking for.
I dug into the CharacterMotor class in the first person controller, but have yet to find what part I can tweak to accomplish this.
I'd greatly appreciate any help.
Thank you.
You can try to stop the velocity of the Rigidbody before turning.
this.rigidbody.velocity = Vector3.zero;
this.rigidbody.angularVelocity = Vector3.zero;
If you want the object to continue like it did, you can try playing around with it by saving the current velocity in a variable, setting it to 0, rotate it and then putting back the old velocity (still forward).
If it works with global vectors (so from the point of view of the world, not the object), then you can try negativing the velocity, actually causing it to go 'backwards'. I can't test it for now but either way I think you need to set the velocity to zero first before turning the character.
