If a character is walking on a 3d sphere that is being used as a planet, how do you create gravity to keep that object on the shere as it is moving?

Thanks in advance

I don't know right off hand but you could probably use the E-Z rotate plugin and point your camera towards the center of your planet, move the camera towards the planet's center until collision occurs, rotate your camera back to the original angles. But this would be very jumpy i'm thinking. If I get a chance i'll try to find a way to do it. But no promises. Maybe this will be of some help.
