land animation not working - LOGGED

#1 Are you sure that you are not falling far enough?

#2 I've tried it, from about 1km up.....
Torque 3D ver 1.0 Land animation not working..

#3 And you're right ... also no damage from falling.

#4 yes.. :(

#5 now what?

maybe this?

#6 ok, that link fixed it, yay.

just one other thing, the player falls veeeery slowly, like he is a huge cotton ball weighing 100grams,

F8, fly up a bit, F7 to start falling, shoot, your shells fall way faster than you,

this is not correct,
where is terminal velocity?

#7 ok,i fixed landing.

Firstly go to the method _handleCollision()

Put all in comment except for the ending:

if (  !isGhost() && 
         collision.object && 
         collision.object != mContactInfo.contactObject )
      queueCollision( collision.object, mVelocity - collision.object->getVelocity() );

Then go in _move(), find this code:

// Pick the surface most parallel to the face that was hit.
         const Collision *collision = &collisionList[0];
         const Collision *cp = collision + 1;
         const Collision *ep = collision + collisionList.getCount();
         for (; cp != ep; cp++)
         {
            if (cp->faceDot > collision->faceDot)
               collision = cp;
         }

And below it,paste this:

F32 bd = -mDot( mVelocity, collision->normal);

   // shake camera on ground impact
   if( bd > mDataBlock->groundImpactMinSpeed && isControlObject() )
   {
      F32 ampScale = (bd - mDataBlock->groundImpactMinSpeed) / mDataBlock->minImpactSpeed;

      CameraShake *groundImpactShake = new CameraShake;
      groundImpactShake->setDuration( mDataBlock->groundImpactShakeDuration );
      groundImpactShake->setFrequency( mDataBlock->groundImpactShakeFreq );

      VectorF shakeAmp = mDataBlock->groundImpactShakeAmp * ampScale;
      groundImpactShake->setAmplitude( shakeAmp );
      groundImpactShake->setFalloff( mDataBlock->groundImpactShakeFalloff );
      groundImpactShake->init();
      gCamFXMgr.addFX( groundImpactShake );
   }

   if ( bd > mDataBlock->minImpactSpeed && !mMountPending ) 
   {
      if ( !isGhost() )
         onImpact( collision->object, collision->normal * bd );

      if (mDamageState == Enabled && mState != RecoverState) 
      {
         // Scale how long we're down for
         F32   value = (bd - mDataBlock->minImpactSpeed);
         F32   range = (mDataBlock->minImpactSpeed * 0.9f);
         U32   recover = mDataBlock->recoverDelay;
         if (value < range)
            recover = 1 + S32(mFloor( F32(recover) * value / range) );
         //Con::printf("Used %d recover ticks", recover);
         //Con::printf("  minImpact = %g, this one = %g", mDataBlock->minImpactSpeed, bd);
         setState(RecoverState, recover);
      }
   }

   if ( isServerObject() && bd > (mDataBlock->minImpactSpeed / 3.0f) ) 
   {
      mImpactSound = PlayerData::ImpactNormal;
      setMaskBits(ImpactMask);
   }

Then go a few lines ahead and find the bd redefenition,put it in a comment:

// F32 bd = -mDot( mVelocity, collision->normal );

Then go to player.cs and use a lower value for landing:

minImpactSpeed = 10;

#8 @Picasso/Ivan
Well done. That seems like a good fix.
*koff* guys ... trunk

Edit 11Feb2010:
You also need to turn player.cs "drag" down from 1.3 or they cause too much friction in the air and slow down too much. Even inverted numbers are okay but not over -.25 or they just keep speeding up and bouncing off things.

#9 very coool!!

Thx!

Merged for next beta. Thanks a lot Ivan.
