CollisionResponse problem

happyer · Post by **happyer** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 8:02 am

If my game has many characters in a small room, and each of them needs to be affected by collision and gravity, so I should do a createCollisionResponseAnimator for each of them? However, I add one character the animator, and the fps is around 25 already. I add two and it becomes 10. There is a big lagging. So what should I do if I want many SceneNode to be affected by collision and gravity?

Code: Select all

scene::ISceneNodeAnimator* anim = smgr->createCollisionResponseAnimator(meta, player, vector3df(20,20,20), vector3df(0,-1,0), vector3df(0,-10,0));
	player->addAnimator(anim);
	anim->drop();

anything wrong??

Thanks for helping

It is better to take an extern physics engine for your collision/gravity problem. For example you can use newton. The collisions manager from irrlicht isnt as good and fast as this extern engines. You will find alot informations here in irrlicht forum about newton and other physics...
