Swimming

#1 I once needed boats, and I added this in my Player.cc code, in updateMove:

// Determine ground contact normal. Only look for contacts if
   // we can move.
   VectorF contactNormal;
   bool jumpSurface = false, runSurface = false;
   if (!isMounted())
      findContact(&runSurface,&jumpSurface,&contactNormal);
   if (jumpSurface)
      mJumpSurfaceNormal = contactNormal;

[b]
   //WE SWIM!!!
   if (mWaterCoverage >= 0.1)
   {
	   runSurface = true;
	   contactNormal.set(0,0,1);
   }
[/b]

All my bots were boats, so they had to 'swim'. Add a varible if you want your players to be able to swim or not. Of course, you will have to add an animation for a swimming model.

And no, that won't addapt to waves ;)
