WheeledVehicle and PhisicalZones

by Andrea Bigiarini · in Torque Game Engine · 07/07/2004 (1:40 am) · 2 replies

Hi all
I've tried to insert a physical zone with gravity=-2 (read somewhere that the ranges for this are from -4 to 4) into starter.racing demo (race car).
No way, the car doesn't seem to be affected in any way by the phisical setting.
Tried all the other 3 settings of Physical Zone in the Inspector but same as above.
Is the WheeledVehicle different from a normal player object?
The Physical Zone is affected by parameters like mass (of the obj)or other in the WVehicle definition?

It's a Bug or is a feature?

THX all you guys for support
Andrea

PLS. Note that this post is in another area with no consistent reply, I've put it here if someone can help me

The WheeledVehicle may not be doing the same container checks that the Player does. Have you looked at the functions related to containers and zones in Player and checked to see if anything similar is going on in WheeledVehicle or Vehicle?

Thx Ben for the answer.
Can you be more precise?
Where I must have a look, in player.cs?

Is not a WheeledVehicle limitation that I must bypass working on .cc files of the engine?

Please specify
THX
