Changing the players collision box prevents them from using stairs in the Lobby.

First off, sorry for the dumb question...but has anyone else had to deal with this? I opened the player scene and changed the player model to a capsule when it was a rectangle, but now I can't move up stairs without jumping. Is there an easy way to fix this, or am I ultraomegasuper stupid?

Hello, and no worries: Not a dumb question at all and you're not stupid. This is something that has come up before.

The basic answer is that due to how the stair step-detection works, your Player Controller needs to have a collision shape that has a "floor edge", so either a rectangle or cylinder.

If you use a capsule collider, the step-detection can't reliably check for a step height in relation to the floor point.

If you must use a capsule collider for your player character, you might need to adjust the colliders on your level geometry to be read as a ramp.
I also noticed you mentioned "player model" - your player mesh can be anything you want - it doesn't have to match the collision shape, so you could have a capsule as mesh and keep the box shape in the collision.

Ah, I knew there was some kind of detection issue going on! I wanted to use a capsule for easier movement around corners, but I might try to lower the faces to create some kind of hexagonal shape...

Thanks for the quick feedback, and your visual helped a bunch too! :)
