RigidShape into TGEA 1.0.3

#1 Actually, it has been done already. Just look through the TGEA forums, I found it a while back.

#2 Cool thanks - I did a quick search and located this resource.

Rigid Shape Class

I then used this set of files and renamed the cc file to cpp
stash.miloonline.net/rigidShape_tgea.zip
and uncommented the line at the top to get it to compile for TSE

#define TSE 1

I fixed this error by removing the

,image

part of the line...

..\engine\game\rigidShape.cpp(1630) : error C2660: 'ShapeBase::renderImage' : function does not take 2 arguments

I also ran into this and fixed it.

Quote:
I found the reason I was getting "Register object failed for object (null) of class RigidShape". It was because I had the same shape in the level as a Static Shape already. If I delete the equivalent static shape I can then add the Rigid Shape version with no problem. Apparently they don't like sharing *.dts files!

However when I loaded them into the game, the behaved correctly but they don't interact with each other - the research continues.

#3 The problem I'm having with rigid bodies is they don't collide with each other even though there is a check in the code to do so (see below) and I can't shoot them, they also end up wiggling below the terrain and they wiggle a lot at rest... They also roll around then stand up right like bowling pins.

in bool Rigid::resolveCollision(const Point3F& p, Point3F normal, Rigid* rigid)
-   applyImpulse(r2,impulse);
+  // Fix: Impulse applied to wrong object
+  rigid->applyImpulse(r2,impulse);



@rigidShape.cc:

in namespace:
-   static int sRestCount = 10;            // Consecutive ticks before comming to rest
+   static int sRestCount = 5;            // Consecutive ticks before coming to rest

void RigidShape::updatePos(F32 dt):
-          if (k < sRestTol * Kg && ++restCount > sRestCount)
-             mRigid.setAtRest();
+                if (k < sRestTol * Kg) {
+                        if (++restCount > sRestCount)
+                               mRigid.setAtRest();
+                } else
+                        // FIX: restCount wasn't reset
+                        restCount = 0;
+                }

in void RigidShape::updateForces(F32 /*dt*/):
-    mRigid.atRest = false;
+ // Fix: Gravity doesn't wake up objects (eg: lying on the floor)
+ //   mRigid.atRest = false;

in bool RigidShape::resolveCollision(Rigid&  ns,CollisionList& cList):
-   ns.resolveCollision(cList.collision[i].point,
-     cList.collision[i].normal);
+ // Hack: wake up sleeping RigidShapes
+ // TODO: Interface to mRigid for all physically usable objects
+RigidShape *col = dynamic_cast<RigidShape*>(c.object);
+if (col != NULL && col->mRigid.atRest) {
+	ns.resolveCollision(cList.collision[i].point,
+		cList.collision[i].normal,
+		&col->mRigid);
+}else {
+   ns.resolveCollision(cList.collision[i].point,
+     cList.collision[i].normal);
+}

#4 Bump! I guess if someone knows how to fix these issues above please let me know. In the meantime I'm going to jump straight into implementing ODEScript and try that as a solution instead. I mainly need it to blow up buildings realistically in BRAVE.
