Controller Jitter

[gamecreator]

I know it seems like we just had this topic but that was camera related. Pretty sure this one's controller related. The ground is an exported collisionmesh (polygonal mesh collision shape).

 

Any idea why the controller jitters in my program?

 

 

#include "App.h"

 

using namespace Leadwerks;

 

App::App() : window(NULL), context(NULL), world(NULL), camera(NULL) {}

 

App::~App() { delete world; delete window; }

 

Model* model = NULL;

Entity* player = NULL;

 

bool App::Start()

{

window = Leadwerks::Window::Create("Controller Test", 0, 0, 1280, 720, Leadwerks::Window::FullScreen);

context = Context::Create(window);

world = World::Create();

 

//Load a map

Map::Load("Maps/map2.map");

 

camera = Camera::Create();

camera->SetRotation(45, 0, 0);

camera->Move(0, 1, -15);

camera->SetDebugPhysicsMode(true);

 

Light* light = DirectionalLight::Create();

light->SetRotation(35, 35, 0);

 

model = Model::Load("Models/Barbarian/barbarian.mdl");

model->SetRotation(0, 180, 0);

 

player = Pivot::Create();

 

model->SetParent(player, false);

model->SetPosition(0, 0, 0);

player->SetMass(1);

player->SetPhysicsMode(Entity::CharacterPhysics);

 

player->SetPosition(0, 10, 0);

 

return true;

}

 

bool App::Loop()

{

if(window->Closed() || window->KeyDown(Key::Escape)) return false;

 

float move = (window->KeyDown(Key::Up) - window->KeyDown(Key::Down)) * 3;

float strafe = (window->KeyDown(Key::Right) - window->KeyDown(Key::Left)) * 3;

player->SetInput(0, move, strafe);

 

camera->SetPosition(player->GetPosition(true), true);

camera->Move(0, 0, -5);

 

Time::Update();

world->Update();

world->Render();

context->Sync();

 

return true;

}

This reportedly has been fixed in recent versions of Newton but I can't update it right now without breaking everything, s it is a more involved task.

I would assume it's the same issue I have. The controller seems like it's always falling a little then it lifts back up a little creating the jitters we see.

 

@Gamecreator my issue was controller related as well. The controller jittering was/is the main issue. I feel like the controller should be smooth as it's moving.

Thanks guys. Hopefully this is considered a high priority issue and will be fixed soon (I'm on the release version).
