Slow Slide on Gentle Slopes

UPDATE: I'm a moron.

He was standing on a much steeper slope than I thought. The texture was creating an optical illusion that he was standing on a flat-ish surface.

Feel free to mock and throw things.

Good afternoon, team! I've tried searching around to no avail, so I decided to just ask. My character is slowly sliding (downhill) when he's on a gentle (<45 degrees) slope. Unless I make the ground perfectly flat, he's sliding. What can I do to have him stand still when on a slope like this? Do I need to increase his friction somewhere?



Thanks!

Have you tried with Physic Materials in your character's capsule collider?

Make one and try this values:
Dynamic Friction 0.4
Static Friction 0.4
Bounciness 0
Friction Combine Average
Bounce Combine Minimum

We all have those lol. I've found nothing in this world that makes me feel as smart or as stupid as game design.

I saw this the other day and just create another physics material 

// slides the character through walls and edges
frictionPhysics = new PhysicMaterial();
frictionPhysics.name = "frictionPhysics";
frictionPhysics.staticFriction = .25f;
frictionPhysics.dynamicFriction = .25f;
frictionPhysics.frictionCombine = PhysicMaterialCombine.Multiply;

// prevents the collider from slipping on ramps
maxFrictionPhysics = new PhysicMaterial();
maxFrictionPhysics.name = "maxFrictionPhysics";
maxFrictionPhysics.staticFriction = 1f;
maxFrictionPhysics.dynamicFriction = 1f;
maxFrictionPhysics.frictionCombine = PhysicMaterialCombine.Maximum;

// air physics
slippyPhysics = new PhysicMaterial();
slippyPhysics.name = "slippyPhysics";
slippyPhysics.staticFriction = 0f;
slippyPhysics.dynamicFriction = 0f;
slippyPhysics.frictionCombine = PhysicMaterialCombine.Minimum;
And on the CheckGround method, did this verification:

if(isGrounded && input == Vector2.zero)
               _capsuleCollider.material = maxFrictionPhysics;
           else if(isGrounded && input != Vector2.zero)
               _capsuleCollider.material = frictionPhysics;
           else
               _capsuleCollider.material = slippyPhysics;

Awesome! Thanks!
