Physic "Stick" Constraint

[GLPhysx]

I would like to add into my game that the player can stick on some surface... In example you have a sphere and when the character jump on it it can "stick" around this sphere (can now walk 360 around it, like in mario galaxy).

I try to search on google and on this forum about this but I haven't found anything relevant. Probably Im searching the wrong keywords...

What I would like to know is which "technique" should be use to achieve this kind of effect?

Thank,

Would a constraint will do? If yes which one?

In example you have a sphere and when the character jump on it it can "stick" around this sphere (can now walk 360 around it)

Maybe you can trying setting the character gravity at each internal timestep so that it is directed towards the center of the sphere (without using any constraint). But most likely you will need a constraint to make the character Y direction aligned with it.

Maybe locking an angular degree of freedom (by using a the generic dof6 constraint) could work, but you need to update the angle each internal timestep.

I really don't know what I'd do in this scenario... my suggestion is just to try something and see if it works!

Got it tks!

Will keep you posted
