How to reinit physix in irrOde?

If i have initialized physix like that

 worldNode->initPhysics();

and then add an object, my new objects are freezed. BUT if i do this code again my new objects are still freezed. as i understood i cant simply write worldNode->initPhysics(); after each adding physix objects, so what i should to do? i tried worldNode->removeFromPhysics() and later worldNode->initPhysics(); again but if i do that, i got error in

Code: Select all

 CIrrOdeManager::getSharedInstance()->step();

Probably better asked in the thread for the specific library, not an irrlicht related question.

I think brainsaw can answer this simple question

It would probably be easier for him to find in his own thread, is what I'm saying.

Have to agree, writing this to the IrrODE thread would be a good idea.

Back to topic: there is a "initPhysics" method in all IrrOde specific scenenodes. It should be enough to call that method of the newly created node (if it's a combination of more than one nodes, e.g. a car, calling the method of the root node should do the job) to init the physical representation of the node, after that it should work.

You could take a look at the "CPlane" and "CProjectile" classes in the IrrOdeCar demo. The planes shoot missiles. Although I don't load the scenenodes but have templates in the scene and clone them.
