RigidShape-derived object

by Daniel Buckmaster · in Torque Game Engine · 07/16/2007 (1:24 am) · 1 replies

I'll try to be brief. I've decided (some of my team have decided...) that for a custom object we're using, we'd like full physics. Wisdom of the decision aside, I changed it from a ShapeBase-derived class to one based on RigidShape (so it looks like 'class Pickup public RigidShape'). I removed all the methods that RigidShape already has, and added calls to Parent::function for ones that I needed to add more to (for example, being mounted in processTick).
Now, when I add one of my special objects to a mission, I get a popup that tells me that I'm adding an object that's already added - some problem in sim/sceneobject.cc. If I click retry, it sends me to a clal to break, and I'm none the wiser. If I cancel, Torque shuts down, and I'm also none the wiser.
Anyone got any idea what's going on?

    Okay, this is solved. In Pickup::onAdd, I commented out the call to addToScene, and everything worked a treat. Odd, since Item does this with no problems. I guess there's a difference between inheriting from RigidShape and straight from ShapeBase. Meh.
