Sorry, I thought that the Character Controller automatically climbed stairs, but that doesn't seem to be the case, what do I need to do to make it climb ?

Sorry for the newbie questions lately... Me + Physics != Something Good

Mess around with the step limit

Mess around with the step limit

I found only 2 functions containing step, set and getStepOffset, is this what you're saying ?

What exactly should I configure to make the stairs climbable, or to enable the character controller to climb up ?

Can you please elaborate ?

increase the stepoffset.

increase the stepoffset.

How exactly ?

error C2247: 'NxOgre::CharacterController::setStepOffset' not accessible because 'Critter::CharacterBase' uses 'protected' to inherit from 'NxOgre::CharacterController'

1>          d:\libraries\nxogre\sdk\NxOgreCharacterController.h(190) : see declaration of 'NxOgre::CharacterController::setStepOffset'

1>          d:\libraries\critter\sdk\CritterCharacterBase.h(46) : see declaration of 'Critter::CharacterBase'

1>          d:\libraries\nxogre\sdk\NxOgreCharacterController.h(52) : see declaration of 'NxOgre::CharacterController'

I'm getting these errors wen I try to add this line:

mSinbad->setStepOffset(2.0);

Weird. I thought I wrote that function.

Anyway, see stepOffset in the description.

It is written I just cant' access it for some reason...

  /*! function. getStepOffset

      desc.

          Get the minimal offset between the bottom of the character and the ground.

  */

  Real   getStepOffset() const;

void CharacterController::setStepOffset(Real offset)

{

 mController->setStepOffset(offset);

}

I can only think of making it a public function, I will try that, but IDK how safe it would be.

It'll be safe. But I meant the AnimatedCharacterDescription unless you mean the the same thing I am.

I never even thought about trying the AnimatedCharacterDescription, not for a second, and your post reminded me to do that, and I struck gold, thanks!

For some reason, lately I'm missing the most basic stuff... (Lack of sleep is to blame for everything, even though it's just me being too spaced out :mrgreen:
