Jumpy physics - RESOLVED
by Kyrah Abattoir · in Torque 3D Professional · 04/02/2010 (12:17 pm) · 9 replies
In Torque 3D 2009 Pro 1.1 Beta 1 , using the physics demo map, whenever the player is standing on a physical object it's sort of "jumpy"
Is it the normal behavior or is there a problem?

Player is not a Physx object... I recall, thus has issues colliding with physx... but yep, previously reported. (alas I'm not going hunting for the link right now)

Quote:Player is not a Physx object... I recall, thus has issues colliding with physxBut why does the player jump when colliding with any (not only physics objects) in the physics demo (sry if it's a stupid question)?

How do you explain this then?
Also found this code in player.cpp onAdd function
I just did some research ;)
But bump, "Where is that thread"?

PhysicsPlayer* PxPlugin::createPlayer( Player *player )
Also found this code in player.cpp onAdd function
if ( gPhysicsPlugin )
mPhysicsPlayer = gPhysicsPlugin->createPlayer( this );Which proves my point where i saidQuote:I think it has something to do with PyshX taking advantage over the original player code

You're aware that this issue is fixed in 1.1 beta 2 right? Just so you guys don't try to debug something that is fixed.

Actually... i think i've seen this issue in beta 2 myself. I think its still around.

It is indeed still around, we just now confirmed it. It only seems to occur if the player is not the control object.

Fixed in 1.2.

(note: I'm not sure whether or not my next statement is true) I think it has something to do with PyshX taking advantage over the original player code. When i installed PhysX in my "Full Template" project, i got the same jumpy result.
Also...
...It's not only physical objects. Try adding a static shape and jump on the edge of it, the results will be the same.
Can/will this fixed for the next beta? I really want PhysX in my project but this strange jumpy physics kinda annoying =/.
