Im trying to make a top down scrolling game, but i cant seem to get the collision right. Im trying to get it to where the player is able to push against the walls without going through them, but also able to move along them. In case you're wondering, the “walls” are just a big circle around the map. Does anyone know how to make the sort of collision im looking for?

things ive already tried:
the “last x” and “last y” position collider / it didnt work with the scrolling engine, and even if it did work, i still wouldnt use it because it doesn't let you move along the walls
trying to use a platforming script collider (the one with smooth velocity) / it only works in one direction. (its hard to explain)
I also tried making 4 separate platformer colliders (to solve the problem of it being one directional) that activate when WASD are being pressed. it didnt work either because the avatar would get stuck inside the wall.
