Circle Colliders

[JBabz]

Obviously, I'm a noob, so I just kind of want to get past that, forgive my ignorance.

So, this is my situation:
I've got this nice little circle collider around my top-down character, and all that I want it to do is have him collide into walls.
So, I'm using the Unity Sphere Collider, and it automatically is making this dude spin like a bowling ball whenever he slides against walls (along with some other physics-related unintended side effects).

Anybody know a decent alternative solution or fix?

Have you constrained position and rotation?

You should disable position & rotation on the axes you don't need.

Yes, actually. However, when I move my character into a mesh collider for long enough, he "breaks" and starts spinning extremely rapidly. It's wierd.

Try using a CharacterController instead. That will work just fine for a top-down.

I'll try that tonight. Thanks a ton for all the help.
