Why does CharacterBody2D lose grip at slope edges?

Floor Snap Length too short. Set it to your typical step height (e.g. 8). Set floor_constant_speed to maintain speed when entering slopes; floor_block_on_wall to prevent stop on wall slope contact.

Maximum walkable slope angle. Default 45 deg. Slopes steeper become walls. Raise for steep terrain (e.g. 55).

Apply gravity always?

velocity.y += gravity * delta even when grounded; combined with move_and_slide, body sticks. Skip gravity when not grounded for jump arcs.

Fix: CharacterBody2D Floor Snap Fails On Edges

Quick answer: Floor Snap Length 8 (or step height). floor_constant_speed = true. floor_max_angle 45+.

Player runs over edge between slope and flat. Loses contact, brief airborne. Snap distance too small.

The Fix

extends CharacterBody2D

func _ready():
    floor_snap_length = 8.0
    floor_constant_speed = true
    floor_max_angle = deg_to_rad(50)
    floor_block_on_wall = true

func _physics_process(d):
    velocity.y += gravity * d
    move_and_slide()

Snap length lets the body stick to ground over small ledges. Constant speed avoids slowing on slope transitions.

Verifying

Run over slope-flat edge. Body stays grounded. Without snap: brief air time + bouncing.

“Snap. Constant speed. Glide.”
