Help With Smooth Top Down Shooter Collisions

[bluGecko]

Hi,

My current project is a top down shooter set in space, I would like a collision system between the player and asteroids where, instead of the player just stopping and getting stuck next to the asteroid, I want the player to be able to slide against the asteroid, if that makes sense.

Essentially if the player hits the asteroid, the player can still move forward but will simply slide against the asteroid.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thank you

Im not the best person to be taking advice from, but
the only thing that would come to mind is experimenting with the physics.
try enabling physics for both the player object and the asteroid, if you havent already.

good luck on your project.
