Strangeness with Ragdolls

by Aleksander Elvemo · in Game Mechanics Kit · 09/22/2009 (1:34 pm) · 5 replies

Hi there!

I succesfully implemented the physics part of GMK into my T3D Beta5 build, and ive got ragdolls ingame.
However, when i spawn multiple "spaceorc" bots and i kill them, only the first bot make a ragdoll, the oters simply vanish, with these console errors:

Unable to find object: '0' attempting to call function 'initRagDoll'

Why does this happen to every bot except the first one?

Hi Aleksander,

Is that problem appears in the "Orcs Rule" demo?
Which version of GMK are you using 1.2.3 or 1.2.4?

Hi!
I'm using 1.2.3!
No actually i have only added the sourcepart of the physics(bullet) and copied the scriptfolder logickingMechanics into mine server/scripts.

I didnt copy any other files since i thought i got it to work with only those changes.

So I just start a mission, drop in a couple of bots then kill them. The first one becomes a ragdoll, while the other following ones does not.

Please email me logicking@logicking.com and I will send you link for a 1.2.4 version.

There are precompiled exe's for bullet physics library.

If anyone wanders into the same problem, i kinda fixed it with this:
in function

function createRagDoll(%ragdollData, %obj)

You'll find this:
%ragDoll_obj = new RagDoll(%obj.getName() @ "_ragDoll") {

change into this:
%ragDoll_obj = new RagDoll(){

@Aleksander
Good spot! If AI's got same names ragdolls won't spawn correctly.
