I'm using Fulcrum physics and I was wondering if anyone has found a way to make a character controller strafe. I know that there are built in ways for back and forth. If youve fuigered it out please explain it to me, thank you.

As you only need to worry about two dimensions (x and z) for character movement, some simple trig should solve your problem, use this overload of the function:



Use this next piece of code to get your X, Y and Z values and put them in a dispacement vector:


If you get that working for forward movement you should just be able to add 90 to the object angle and your character will strafe.

EDIT: You could also just turn your character, move, and then turn it back, buts thats a bit of a hack

I added this to the code



But I'm not sure how you get data from what I assume is displacement vector

I've looked around a bit on the net, but I couldn't find anything to help me...

Thank you very much! I tried it out and it works. I'll try my best to learn more about vectors and such, but this was really jamming up the development pipeline. Thanks.
