Slide against walls

Hi all,

I tried searching for this but wasn't able to find a good solution. I'm having a problem where when my character runs into a wall, it stops and I have to change directions in order to move again. In particular it gets stuck up against diagonal walls. I would prefer if the character would continue to move, sliding against the wall. Can anybody help?

Here's an example- try going at the diagonal wall.

Bumpity Bump?

The computer thinks you want to move right, but there is something in the way so it is impossible to go right so it stops.

I guess what you should do is make events to tell the computer what you expect it to do when the player is pressing right, but going right is impossible.

Hmm, lemme try some stuff along those lines. Do you know a way to detect the angle of an object being hit? Thank You!

The standard way to do it is re-implement the 8direction movement with the customMovement behavior and use the "push out solid closest" action.

Alternately the wall's solid behavior can be removed and the collision resolution can be done manually with events. It's complicated but gives a better result IMO.
