Military vehicle implementation

Hi all

I am creating some kind of military strategy game.

I have to operate with more than 20 vehicles and 100 soldiers(outside and inside a vehicle), almost all will be controlled by AI.

And big terrains will be used, so I have to use PhysX for this (Quickest physics engine).


I have implemented Physx vehicle in a very simple way - I just replaced all calls to mRigid by calls to pxDynamic (I used pxStatic but with getters and body) and created a client replica for the same pxDynamic.

Almost forgot, I also use pxWheel, my own class too.


I have a few questions:

1. Is it the right way to create pxDynamic in onNewDataBlock() ?
I saw 2 server calls to this method and 1 client's in my log. It is
weird why 2 server calls...

2. Why is there no client onNewDataBlock call for turret?

I am creating a turret in the same way as a vehicle(ShapeBase ancestor), but there is no client onNewDataBlock call...

I want it to be a ShapeBase ancestor because there will be a gun rotating with the turret.

I use a joint to bind a hull and a turret together and want it to be breakable in the future.

Appreciate any help.
