Physics 2D Plattformer

chimera_warrior

Hi, I was following the tutorials to make a plattformer game, and I've encountered the problem that the character flies when it's walking on a slope.  I've seen the plattformer demo, and there  is a comment in the player script :

# -Going up ramps sends the chracter flying up, small hack is needed.

How can I solve that?

Mark

Which tutorial specifically?

Ross

That line is in the character script of the 2D platformer demo, last I checked.

Yeah, in the platformer tutorial, the one with the litle robot[quote author=Ross link=topic=15653.msg17048#msg17048 date=1467938688]That line is in the character script of the 2D platformer demo, last I checked. [/quote]But I couldn't find it

I am assuming the one you are talking about is entitled "Platformer".I have loaded it, played it for a bit, then had a look at the character code and couldnt replicate the issue not see the comment you mentioned.  :-(

Ross

Yeah, I've looked through that script several times and I don't know which lines of code that comment is referring to either. It's not the greatest demo. It has nothing to do with the engine though, you'll get the same results with any engine. Do a google search for [url=https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=physics+platformer+slopes]"physics platformer slopes"[/url] and you will find some information about it. A lot of people will just say you should never use physics for a platformer.
