Shrimple Character Controller - Update 1.3
A changelist for Shrimple Character Controller.
🎁 Added
- Added new trace shape: "Sphere", which only uses the "Trace Width";
- Added "Vertical Elasticity" and "Horizontal Elasticity", so your controller can now bounce against surfaces;
- Added "Include Ground Elasticity" to take the surface's elasticity into account;
- Added "Elasticity Threshold" to ignore bounces at low speeds;
- Added "Acceleration" feature, can now disable it to instantly reach the wish velocity;
- Added "Acceleration" and "Deceleration" Curve options, so you can tweak and accelerate slowly or decelerate faster at small speeds;
- Added "Fixed Acceleration" and "Fixed Deceleration" option, which is how it's always behaved so far;
- Added "OnCollide" event which returns "ShrimpleCollisionResult" whenever the controller collides with something, comes with a lot of useful data such as the velocity before and after impact, the angle, normal, object, position etc;
- Added Shrimple Roller preset to the right click->create menu, we're planning on making more presets in the future.
🧼 Improved
- MoveHelperResult's Velocity now returns the current velocity instead of just the difference between positions, which would cause useless bounces;
- GroundAcceleration/Deceleration can still be used even with GroundStick disabled (It already happened but you couldn't edit it).
🪛 Fixed
- Updated all the obsolete attributes to remove warnings in console.
🚯 Removed
- Old gravity upgrader, didn't actually do anything;
- "Cylinder Trace" boolean has been removed, replaced with "Trace Shape" enum to allow the new Sphere option. This update comes with an upgrader for this.
⚠️ Known Issues
- Sphere traces cannot properly detect steps as the curved surface hits with the step's edge rather than the face.
