I'm trying to make a good fps movement style using Newton DLL but I have some problems.

My player is a deformed sphere and I move it by changing the velocity (NDB_NewtonBodySetVelocity). So, I removed friction because the player could be stuck on the wall but now he cannot stay on an inclined plane.

I've got a second problem : I would like use a box instead of an ellipsoid shape for player collision but I don't how to make it climbing stairs... (I think I should give it an 'impulse' on Y axis but how I can know if the player want to climb a stair ?)

Any idea ?

PS: Sorry for my bad english

try using some simple geometrics and raycast around your player, slightly further out than his collision radius, from his mid height down to the ground. You should then be able to calculte how the geometry is around him and alter his height accordingly.

It's fairly simple really, though avoid raycasting for every 360 degrees... that would be wasting resources
