Anyway to simply set a 'climbing limit' for when a character-mode rigidbody tries to move up a slope? Or do you have to make your own raycast to detect slopes

I see that a combination of 0 friction and linear dampening works to move rigid body characters up slopes.

So there is definitely some funny and undesirable behavior regarding collision shapes in 3D with rigid body and their interactions with slopes.

I am using a box shape collision for simplicity. When the box and slope are parallel to the same axis, the box can move up the slope with 0 friction. But if the slope is rotated, the box can't move up the slope due to the corner 'grinding' into the slope as it were, which seems to make sense.

Then I tried switching to the capsule since it has no corners, but the capsule can't get over the top edge of the slope.

Just realized that, if the collision shape is a cube and it tries to go up a slope which is level but rotated so that it isn't parallel with the collision shape, it doesn't work BUT if a collision shape cube tries to move up a surface which is rotated so that it is an n-gon, i.e. a plane that's twisted, the cube will move up the surface.
