[CreateTerrain Parameters]

I am using the most recent release of the engine. Setting up an example as we speak.

[CreateTerrain Parameters]

I would say that the physics model has some bugs in it, it seems as if it is turned by 90°, I am already using sweptcollision now ... here is a video, it is all explained what is wrong =)

Josh, please do us the honor of explaining that

[CreateTerrain Parameters]

you can just set it with code on the cube model.

How would I do that?

Scaling the terrain uniformly does not work, I get the same result.

 

Here is an example of the editor having that problem, even with sweptcollision...

You can test it yourself, just put the cube on the given coordinates

[CreateTerrain Parameters]

I am using the latest version (newton.dll 6 July 2010) and even cubes pass through the terrain -.-

For collisions I am using

Collisions(1,1,1);

and then I set the type of the terrain and the cube on 1.

So I am using slidingcollision. If it works that much better with SweptCollision, how do I make use of it without gamelib?

Thanks for your reply

 

Oh and btw, when I use scaleentity, the bugs are even worse, my controller can even look through the terrain...

[CreateTerrain Parameters]

Anyone? Josh? What do you think of that problem?

[CreateTerrain Parameters]

Ok, I just found out that if I load a Scene created in the Editor, the physic doesn't work either ...

Just look at the picture

I am really pissed, because this is a main feature of the engine, and also for my game, and it does not work. Correct me if I am wrong...

 

This is the Cube I am using:

http://rapidshare.com/files/407435681/Cube.rar

 

This is the Scene:

http://rapidshare.com/files/407435898/Scene.rar

TEntity Scene = LoadScene("abstract::TestMap.sbx");

 

Almost always does the physic work as it should, but sometimes, I mean in special places on the terrain, it does not.

[CreateTerrain Parameters]

How do I set the MetersPerTile in code? I know that it works in the editor but when I try it in C++, it does not work because the terrain just wants the resolution.

Yes I know I could also load a sbx-file, but then I can't access the Terrain:

TEntity Scene = LoadScene("abstract::TestMap.sbx");
Terrain = FindChild(Scene,"Terrain");

That does not work =(

 

Hope you can give me some advice

[Problem with shadows :S]

Jordan, it has nothing to do with his graphics card, Overlord try to set the camera near range in the editor a bit lower, that should do it. It is a mix of shadow quality and near range. Had this once too, but just in the editor, in code it works perfectly

[Some terrain bugs, again]

Well the updater says, I am up to date, do I have to download it anywhere else?

 

AH NVM, just found out why ...

But the terrain Bug with height 1 still isn't fixed

Hehe, it only shows the terrain, when the height is under 0.5

 

I would really love to load a sbx file, but i need to change the terrain in code, so is there any way i can get a terrain from a sbx-file?

[Some terrain bugs, again]

What does it mean "does not interact"? Also may be more helpful if you post the code.

Well I posted the relevant code ...

Other things are just a rendering frame, a mmoveable camera and a box. You can see the "wrong interactions" in the pictures.

 

@Lumojaa: It also happens, when I do not scale the terrain, not so strong as in the pictures, but it occures ...

and what about this case?

 

Terrain = CreateTerrain(512);
SetTerrainHeight(Terrain,260,260,1);

No graphical terrain anymore, just physics

[Some terrain bugs, again]

If anyone can approve these bugs, I would be so pleased:

 

Terrain = CreateTerrain(512);
SetTerrainHeight(Terrain,260,260,1);

Here I do not see anything, in Physicsdebug I do see the terrain...

 

Terrain = CreateTerrain(512);
ScaleEntity(Terrain,Vec3(4,100,4));
SetTerrainHeight(Terrain,260,260,0.03);

or

Terrain = CreateTerrain(512);
SetTerrainHeight(Terrain,260,260,1);

Here a simple CreateBox does not interact correctly with the terrain ...

 

 

 

Greetings fellas

[Terrain Decals]

Did anyone get Decals for terrain working (in C++)?

 

Thanks, Dustin

[Camera movement crashes engine.exe]

works fine here =)

the camera just turns too fast and the controls are switched (a and s, w and d)

[Simple C++ question]

No, just wrong typing, sorry =(

if (atoi(GetEntityKey(entity,"Value1","NULL")) >= (atoi(GetEntityKey(entity,"Value2","NULL")))){
printf("LOLOLOL\n");
}

Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not ...

Examples:

1 >= 58

well as i said sometimes it doesn't work with any number, sometimes it works perfectly...

 

//EDIT

found a way to get it working, when i store atoi(GetEntityKey(entity,"Value2","NULL")) in an int variable right before i do the if statement, it works =)

thanks for your help

 

Dustin

[Simple C++ question]

no that works correctly, atoi(GetEntityKey(Entity,"Value1","NULL")) returns 30 and atoi(GetEntityKey(Entity,"Value2","NULL")) returns 20

but this if is not working

if (atoi(GetEntityKey(Entity,"Value1","NULL")) >= atoi(GetEntityKey(entity,"Value2","NULL"))){
return 1
}
else
return 0

always returns 1

even if left side is 0 and right side is 30 ...

another example that does not work:

0 >= 0

[Simple C++ question]

Why doesn't this work?

if (atoi(GetEntityKey(Entity,"Value1","NULL")) >= atoi(GetEntityKey(entity,"Value2","NULL"))){

Left side contains 30, right side 20, but it doesn't work -.-

Any idea?

 

Thanks

[Camera Collision]

YYa found that out too, thank you =)

All works now, my first project has been finished and shown to an audience at a competition. If i win, I will publish the program here

[Camera Collision]

Well just found another "bug"...

All my physics object get stuck when they are too far away from the center(like 4000 units from the center)

any clue?

I can't move them anymore once they got stuck.

[Camera Collision]

spectator is not parented, i move the spectator and place the cam at the new position.

I am using gamelib, which complicates things even more(e.g. slidingcollision).

But i just figured it out myself =)

the scene does not react on physics, i don't know why, it just doesn't

So i created them by hand and it worked

 

TBody spectator=CreateBodySphere();
SetBodyMass(spectator,1);
SetBodyGravityMode(spectator,0);
EntityType(spectator,1);
SetBodyDamping(spectator,1.0);
::Collisions(1,1,1);

TBody Sphere = CreateBodySphere(0.3049625f);
EntityType(Sphere,1);
SetBodyGravityMode(Sphere,0);
SetBodyMass(Sphere,0);

Now it works, thank you all

[Camera Collision]

Thanks for your answer, but that does not work either =(

[Camera Collision]

Hey, it's me again.

I did some coding, but i don't seem to get any collision working:

TBody Spectator = CreateBodySphere(0.1f);
SetBodyMass(Spectator,1);
SetBodyGravityMode(Spectator,0);
PositionEntity(Spectator,EntityPosition(cam));
SetBodyDamping(Spectator,10.0);

EntityType(Spectator,1);
EntityType(game.scene.scene,1);

TBody Sphere = CreateBodySphere();
PositionEntity(Sphere,Vec3(0,50,0));
ScaleEntity(Sphere,Vec3(10,10,10));
EntityType(Sphere,1);
SetBodyGravityMode(Sphere,0);

Collisions::Set(1,1,SLIDINGCOLLISION);

In DebugPhysics, they just go through each other.

Any idea?

[Camera Collision]

oh thank you macklebee, didn't think of that =)

you saved my day

Greetings, Dustin

[Camera Collision]

What would be the easiest way to enable camera collision, just like the one in the editor?

Need this for a presentation on Tuesday =(, got to hurry up now

Hope you guys can help me

Thanks

[..Lens Flare test..]

It works and looks great, but some weird things happened, just look at it yourself:

=)

but nice work

fullscreen works now, but the video and sound don't =(
