my player is a character controller.
i dont want it to be able to walk down a steep slope, instead i want it to tumble & fall down the steep slope.
i already have the tumbling code. but i dont know how to detect the steep slope.

can someone give me some code or help me code this??


merry christmas!

there's a part in the character controller which you may have found that can set the angle which it will not go up or down a slope, now whether you can use that to make your tumble code run.

that only controls preventing the cc from going up the slope. not down.

You could add two hidden limbs...one at the bottom of your player and one at the bottom but in front of your player, then raycast down from the front limb to the ground to get y position that intercepts the ground. Then use the distance from the front limb to the player limb and the distance from the ground intercept point to the player limb to calculate the angle.
