I have the same problem Marting May has. Is there a best way to resolve it?

I cant find the patch for this, does anyone have a copy or a link of the file?

Thanks

Hi!,

I have come across your article while trying to create a 2D character controller in Unity. And I wanted to ask you something. The Circle you are using for the down part of your controller won’t it cause that when player gets to the edge of a platform it will start going down a little (because the rounded part in sphere) until it falls?.

Thanks in advance.

Hi austin, I set the motor speed to a fixed value when I wanted to move the player, and back to 0 when the player was meant to stop. Because the wheel has high friction, and the speed affects the velocity not the acceleration, the character is able to stop and move abruptly.

So I am trying to set up a character with the same concepts. and it works. sortof, but what I am wondering is how you got your character so responsive. ours has a pretty sluggish start when ever you start him moving. and he does not slow down/change directions very quickly ether. suggestions? this was a great post by the way.

1 more problem, I follow the way boxycraft did for their character and I found out that when I jump and fall on the floor, the upper rectangle body will bounce awhile, so how could I totally cancel off the bouncing?
