Re: Kinematic Collision

I am not familiar with LBP?

If I understand correctly, you have effectively a fixed joint
constraining the character controller, and solve the other joints after
that one. ie ensuring that the action of the other joints takes
precedence. So how do you handle cases where it is correct for the
player to be influenced by other objects. eg a physically simulated
motorized revolving door pushing the player?

The whole topic of two way interaction between user controlled objects
and physically driven objects is interesting and I have never seen much
discussion on the topic...
