[Solved] SlopeLimit Sensor cancels JumpForward movement too

[codeassembler]

Hi all, hope everything is great with your projects!  

I'm working out a SideController, when the character is in front of any obstacle it detects the slope on it as it normally does (to check if it can climb on it or not), then if the resulting slope is at a higher angle than "Slope Limit" value at vThirdPersonController Inspector, then the character stops at it should.  However, the problem is when the obstacle is small and the Character should be able to jump over it by means of "Jump Air Control".

He just can't.  I mean, if I know in advanced the character will get stuck I can jump over before the character reach the small object and it will be able to jump over it and be influenced by "Jump Air Control / Jump Forward" parameter, but otherwise I let him reach the obstacle he will just issue the StopMove() if the obstacle Slope is high enough, even when the obstacle is small enough to overcome with a jump with "Jump Air Control / Jump Forward" speed.


This does not happens with all the obstacles.  Of course if the small obstacle does not pose a Slope higher than "Slope Limit" then you can jump over it after reaching it, since the StopMove() function will not trigger in response to "Slope Limit" then. 

To try put it even simpler:  if you try jumping over a small triangle above the floor and the slope is 45 degrees or less /\ and you have set the "Slope Limit" to 50 you can safely touch any of its sides with the character and stop right there.  Then you press jump and move over it while jumping and you'll be able to jump over it by means of "Jump Air Control".  However, if instead of a small triangle above the ground you have a small Cube []  and you touch it with the character then the character will stop moving and if you jump it will only let you jump upwards, you can not jump over, since it will not let you use "Jump Air Control" because the side of a cube Slope will be lot higher than "Slope Limit".    Of course you'll be able to jump if you go far enough, pickup speed and then jump over it, but forcing a player to do that will be very frustrating in an actual game! lol 


Which would be the best way to "fix" this behaviour for the SideController ?

I just tested here with a cube and put the character side by side, first he did not go forward because the cube was higher then my jump height, so I just increase my JumpHeight value and he did go forward with no trouble.

This is very strange. I'll record some video and show you. Thanks a lot for taking your time to replicate!

I kept examining the code and this is what fixed the issue for me, remember I'm only using the SideController so it might have to do with that version of the controller only?


I did modified vThirdPersonMotor. The StopMove method like this:


protected void StopMove()
       {
           // CodeAssembler Modification - Fix Jump Air Control - (slopeLimit related)
           if (input.sqrMagnitude < 0.1) return; // || !isGrounded) return;


That did it for me. Now its not trying to perform a StopMove() while my character is on the air "Jump Air Control". So it let me jump over anything provided the jumpHeight supply enough altitude to overcome it, like you just mentioned.

Hope it be of help for others, this took me a couple of days to figure somehow lol :D

A Note of disclaimer: I don't know if it breaks the type of controllers - Remember I'm doing this for the SideController which is what I'm currently working at.
