Well, I figured out how to do it... in theory

If I set the skeleton of the model to an easy to use pose, then I can subtrace the phy-ent angle, from the base angle, and then locally rotate the bone (after resetting it) to that angle. It should work, but.... IDK, we'll see....

yeah, basically, but when i do that, it doesnt rotated like it should, for some weird reason XD

dunno if you got MSN/ICQ, but add me, maybe we can figure this out together!

nice looking project, i wish i could program something like that

btw, i noticed that when ragdolls are still active and shaking when finished sliding off the ramp. In a real game that could slow down the game badly with multiple ragdolls still being calculated on death

---

it's only a stresstest im aware of this.

if you read any later post, it was suggested some of the things how to fix this, and i allready used some

YAY!

I got it working.... yeah, exactly as you were saying about the rotations. Apparently there's a bug in ang_for_bone(). Calling it will do a bone_reset(), which will screw up everything

I'm debating sharing my solution, but I have a working ragdoll system (entire Bones system created through CreateBones() ). The model's bones will rotate to match the skeleton.

However, (a little hint) since I'm forced to use the PH_HINGE of physics, I can only rotate each bone in one direction (unless I add another [small] bone in between the joints). So for now, it works, but it's not as realistic as it can become

I'm working on a little demo, where the "testdummy" model (you choose how many) all run towards a bomb, then when you press space, it explodes, sending them all flying!

I'll try to have it soon....

cool! why dont we share our code, and make this the biggest contribution EVER! (for free, yes).
Shoot me on MSN/ICQ.

I second that motion.

Whats your MSN. I added your email address, but no show so far...


I'm still putting together the demo. It's [mostly] working. However, I've run into another [odd] bug. Sometimes the model reads the orientation of the base wrong, so the model will sometimes "twitch" to the wrong angle, then back...

think that's the gimbal lock...
anyway. my msn is dennisiscool [at] hotmail [dot] com.
im interested in seeing this work, and if we combined my uber code to yours, we'd have a win-win situation
