climbing stairs

[cassius]

Currently my 3rd person character finds it hard to climb stairs. I have to keep hitting space bar ( jump ) to make it go up.

Is there a programmable way of solving this prob??

invisible ramp, or maybe less rise in each step.

Thanks. I solved problem by scaling castle model down to 75%. Some purchased buildings are too large.

Ithink I will check all of them.

The recommended step height is 0.016 meters for stairs:

Isnt that way too low ?? Its basically 1.6 cm..average step height is about 22 cm..

[shadmar]

comfort zone of steps are between 19 and 22 cm on average.

Never mind, 16 cm is the nearest power of two value, so I suggest that for stairs.

 

The actual max step height in the physics code is 0.5 meters. That is the maximum a character can step up, although it would be pretty high for stairs.

An invisible ramp is still a good idea because the character walking up stairs bobs around a lot looking quite unstable.
