Does anyone know how one would go about creating a globe type map? I'm curious if there is a way to simulate gravitational pull towards the center of a sphere, allowing a model to travel the surface. I've only seen something like this once, in FFVII. I'm wondering if it can be done on a larger scale, though.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

You could calculate the vector from the center of every object to "fall" towards the center of that globe and phent_addcentralforce to each of them on every cycle, effectively sending them "falling" towards the globe

Connect your player to the center of the sphere with a ball joint.
