Physics - Help needed.

by Peterjohn Griffiths · in Torque Game Builder · 07/13/2011 (9:05 am) · 1 replies

Has anyone come across any tutorials to help understand all parts of the physics system?.
I have been playing with it trying to figure out how to do the following.

I want to create some objects that the player can collide with and have them respond using physics.
1) A ball or rock that can be moved around, pushed down hills and bounce around etc.
2) A breakable wall that when the player walks into it, the bricks fall down.
3) A Box that can be pushed around and also you can stand on it aswell.

I have looked around the forums and TDN but there doesn�t seem to be a lot of info.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi there,

'not sure how much you know about physics already, but have you tried this:

www.garagegames.com/community/forums/viewthread/74809/

it's a few years old, and maybe some details have changed, but my guess is that it should be a good overview of the physics features and concepts.

If you have a good understanding of all of that already, the next stage would probably be to narrow things down and explain how you tried to set up your entities, and what doesn't work.

'hope that helps.
