Hey,
Is it possible to make a character controller physics object go side to side, like strafing? If so, how?
Also, is there any way to position the character controller object at a certain point?

Thanks.

Dont use the character controller it sucks.

use the functions that general reed made.

they work a treat.

they are in the sticky thread. techniques.

Yeah, I tried it once... the memories still haunt me.

Now I'm just using an invisible bounding cube and sparky's.

Ok, thanks, but I still can't figure out how to do strafing with it, just turning the camera . I'm just trying to use it for collision with a single object, so I don't want anything too complicated .

EDIT: Nevermind, was looking at the wrong functions, still trying to figure out how to do this, but it looks like what is there may work .

EDIT2: Ok, still having problems, I got strafing, but now I can't turn, and the character box is way too bouncy :S. Any ideas? All I need it to do is collide with one static object.

Nevermind, found a work around with just using character controller. I just rotated the character object, applied velocity, and rotated it back to it's original rotation before strafing, seems to work great now .

Seems like you're making it a bit too complicated, but whatever floats your boat.

Well is there a command to position the object or to move it side to side? I'd be happy to use it, but I can't find one .
