Is there a reason for PlayerData::swimForce to be unused?

by Daniel Buckmaster · in Torque 3D Professional · 06/30/2014 (10:00 am) · 2 replies

I just got bitten by this:
// from player.cpp
      F32 maxAcc = (mDataBlock->swimForce / getMass()) * TickSec;
      if ( false && swimSpeed > maxAcc )
         swimAcc *= maxAcc / swimSpeed;
Does anyone know if swimForce is not working properly or would have some other reason to be disabled? I removed the false and it seems to work fine for me.

    Maybe it was collateral damage from some physics work?

    Maybe. It works fine in my non-physics build. Maybe I'll give it a test later with physics enabled. Pull request.
