Constraint platform axis

[DooMAGE]

Hello friends,

 

I'm doing some tests for the summer contest.

 

In my game I have a platform that moves foward indefinitely, the problem is that when the player is on the platform the platform over time starts moving to other directions, I guess it's because the physics and the player mass above the platform.

 

How I can constraint the movement of the platform to always be locked to one axis?

 

I'm using this:

 

function Script:UpdatePhysics()
self.entity:SetVelocity(0,0,2, true)
end

Have you looked at this yet?

Not yet, maybe this can be used to a 3D game too?

 

I think I fixed the problem, but I don't know why or how it works. I used something called Joint::Slider

 

function Script:Start()
 self.entity:SetCollisionType(Collision.Scene)
 local position=self.entity:GetPosition(true)
 self.joint=Joint:Slider(position.x,position.y,position.z,0,0,0,self.entity,nil)
end

function Script:UpdatePhysics()
 self.entity:SetVelocity(0,0,2, true)
end

To solve this problem I used Joint::Slider right? or should I use Joint::SetLimits and Joint::EnableLimits too?

The limits will keep it from moving beyond a certain range, if that is what you want.

 

You can also use the motor feature to move the joint.
