How do I turn off gravity in T3D?

by Kevin Mills · in Torque 3D Beginner · 08/20/2011 (11:05 am) · 5 replies

I am somewhat new to the T3D community so this question may already be answered elsewhere. If so please point me in the right direction. I have gone into player.cpp and set mGravity=0 but this has had no effect. When recompiling the source code are there old files that need to be deleted first or something? I feel like the game is falling back onto some older files somehow, since changing the value to 0 does absolutely nothing. Thanks in advance.

You could use a Physical Zone to the level with gravityMod = 0, and adapt your player's movements to be able to move there.

Just zero the z acceleration in updateMove()

Which file contains updateMove()? Are you talking about in Player.cpp? If so I didn't see anything that referes tot he z-axis movement.

I'd say that's the line Ivan was talking about (line ~2147) :
// Acceleration due to gravity
   VectorF acc(0.0f, 0.0f, mGravity * mGravityMod * TickSec);
