PhysX and Shape Replicators

by Ronald J Nelson · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 04/02/2009 (12:32 am) · 2 replies

I would like to know if anyone has gotten PhysX to work on replicators as in shape replicators or the BG Cliff Kit?

Hi Ron,

I'm not familiar with PhysX at all, but I figured that maybe the following might be helpful.

The cliffs in the Cliff Construction Kit are TSBGCliffStatic objects. TSBGCliffStatic is a derived class from TSStatic.

The replicator is a modified version of Melv's (thanks! :) fxShapeReplicator. Look for the CreateShapes member function where the TSBGCliffStatic shapes are created on the fly.

So as I see it, if you managed to make TSStatic objects to work with PhysX, or even one single TSBGCliffStatic object (one cliff shape) - then you'd need to check the replicator's CreateShape function, and maybe do something there.

Thanks Konrad, but yeah I got that far already. I already have a working solution for TSStatics and including for those using polysoup. However it I try to setup PhysX for any of the replicators including yours it crashes.
