THIS DEMO REQUIRES LATEST VERSION OF GAMESTUDIO A8!

Another day, another contribution

I've been working on this one for a while now, and I guess it's pretty good to be shared.
This is pretty advanced movement code, which contains:
Plus there are some simple JOINT examples in this demo, SEESAW and CHAINS (rope or whatever).

Here is download link.

SOME SCREENS:


PLEASE NOTE THAT IN ORDER TO GET VERY STABLE SIMULATION YOU NEED TO TWEAK LOTS OF PARAMETERS! THIS DEMO ONLY GIVES YOU THE BASICS OF THE MOVEMENT, AND COULD BE USED/ADJUSTED UNDER PARTICULAR PROJECT! IF YOU IMPROVE/FIX SOMETHING AND WANT TO SHARE THIS DEMO, YOU ARE WELCOME TO DO SO! ANYTHING (EXCEPT DOOR SOUNDS) CAN BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, CREDIT WILL BE GREAT BUT NOT NEEDED. THIS CONTRIBUTION IS SHARED AS IT IS, WITHOUT MY FARTHER SUPPORT AND DEVELOPMENT. USE FOR YOU OWN RISK


MY BEST REGARDS!

EDIT: HERE IS A VIDEO TO SHOW YOU HOW IT WORKS.
Reconnoiter@ I know, you'll love that floating mouse pointer in the video

Doors only open once and dont always close, but thats not a big deal.
But The objcets go through each other, and dont collide. They will collide with the Blocks.. but what If someone made a level consisting of models?

Great Contribution 3run! thanks.

EDIT: I cant try the sea-saw or chains because the platform doesnt move

Those are actully BUGS! And they are probably related to the Acknex ( pXent_setgroup and pX_setgroupcollision ), which version you are currently using? Cause it works perfectly fine for me (you are already second person with the same bugs). I'm uploading video, to show how it works!

Edit: update you Acknex to the latest version! I'm using 8.45.4 and it works for me (everything). Right now I just tested it on the other PC with 8.45.4 and it works there too. About the platform not moving on the path, it's just makes sense, now I'm sure it's related to the older bugs that physX had, but they are all fixed in the latest update.

No. I have the latest Version... The last update was on February 2014. My signature always has my version

Are you sure about this? Cause all of your bugs are related to older version of Acknex. BTW you signature just says 8.45, but there are actually bunch of 8.45 The previous update (from October I guess?) was 8.45 too, I was using it before, but just now I've downloaded the latest from update from January, and it still works (still 8.45 but it's now written that it's from January). At the end, if those bugs aren't related to the physX plugin .dll, then they are related to physX sdk which you need to update.

BTW, I've edited the first post! Added link to video, in order to show you how it WORKS.


Best regards!

Edit: try to update physX driver, but before that, try to copy this .dll into the root folder of the movement code and run it.

No.. I updated it again (I last updated it when I got Pro last year, after February) and now it apparently works, I watched your video, and Im now getting the same results.

Good stuff 3Run Thanks for this awesome contribution!

Where do I see the 8.45.4 ?? My WED version has 8.45 and thats the only place I see it?

You are welcome! Nice to hear that you've got it working.
When you compile anything, you can see your current version on the startup screen:


Best regards

AH! I already knew that :3
.. I forgot about it ^_^

Wish I'd have checked before updating... I'm sure it was 8.45.4 -- but it is now Thanks again!

Really nice!

the only bad thing is the sliding down at slopes (I guess that's caused by the physics) which should require a maximum walkable angle.

Actually thats caused by bunch of different thing, for example disabled friction so gravity pulls entity down and it slides as is entity was made of ice... Unfortunately such thing as 'max walkable angle' doesn't exist for rigid bodes in physX, it's only supported by cct (as far as I know), and cct in Acknex is horrible (too outdated and has tons of limitations). Maybe if I'll have some spare time I'll think about a workaround for this problem (using traces etc). Thank you for your anyway

best regards
