Can't make a new topic

[cooky451]

Hi,

I'm from Germany so if anyone feels like answer in german -> great! (My english is not that good..)
I'm not able to start a new Topic at "beginners help". I have absolutely no idea why. When I click on the "new topic" button the forum directs me directly back to the main site. :?::?:


My problem:
How can I add collision detection + gravity to a model/mesh, like I can do this for the camera (tutorial 07)? Simple code would be great!

[shadowslair]

The code is already in the 07 example:

Level collision:

Code: Select all

selector = smgr->createOctreeTriangleSelector(
				q3node->getMesh(), q3node, 128);
		q3node->setTriangleSelector(selector);

Player Collision:

Code: Select all

scene::ISceneNodeAnimator* anim = smgr->createCollisionResponseAnimator(
			selector, ###CAMERA###, core::vector3df(30,50,30),
			core::vector3df(0,-10,0), core::vector3df(0,30,0));
		selector->drop(); // As soon as we're done with the selector, drop it.
		###CAMERA###->addAnimator(anim);
		anim->drop();  

Simply create an I(Animated)MeshSceneNode and replace the ###CAMERA### with its pointer. Just refer to the documentation if you have some doubts what are all these parameters used for.

Thanks for helping me, but it still doesn't want to work. I want a collision detection between two Models (Model & Level).

Code: Select all

IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* node = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(smgr->getMesh("ninja.b3d"),
                                                0, IDFlag_IsPickable | IDFlag_IsHighlightable);
  node->setScale(core::vector3df(10, 10, 10));
  node->setPosition(core::vector3df(-70,100,-600));
  node->setRotation(core::vector3df(0,90,0));
  node->setAnimationSpeed(10.f);
  node->getMaterial(0).NormalizeNormals = true;

  scene::ITriangleSelector *sel = smgr->createTriangleSelector(node);
  node->setTriangleSelector(sel);
  sel->drop();
  scene::ISceneNodeAnimator* anim = smgr->createCollisionResponseAnimator(
			selector, node, core::vector3df(30,50,30),
			core::vector3df(0,-10,0), core::vector3df(0,30,0));
  selector->drop();
  node->addAnimator(anim);
  anim->drop();

While "selector" was created like in the tutorial:

Code: Select all

selector = smgr->createOctreeTriangleSelector(
				q3node->getMesh(), q3node, 128);
		q3node->setTriangleSelector(selector);

No idea why new topic doesn't work for you. Maybe it was some temporary problem. Anyway - I'll just move this one to beginner.

[cooky451]

Maybe it was some temporary problem.

It's still the same. The "new topic" button links me to
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... wtopic&f=1
and this link redirects me to
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/index.php

[CuteAlien]

Sorry, really no idea right now. That links allows me typing a topic (and I'm also sitting in germany).

Anyone else got an idea?

[omg_fail]

An internal server error I think.
Like you said its just temporary.

Warte einfach ein paar tage dann solltes wiedergehen wenn nicht schau mal auf deinen Internet acces

About the collision :
Benutzt du nur das model oder lädst du eine irr scene ?
Weil grafity ohne boden wäre keine gute idee

Und noch was :
Wenn du möchtest dass zwei z.B. ninjas nicht ineinander laufen solltest du zu einem physik engine greifen

[omg_fail]

Wegen dem new topic :
Welchen browser verwendest du und welche version ? Könnet daran liegen.


...
Am i actually allowed to write in german

[ent1ty]

No, you are only allowed to write: English, Dutch, Czech and Slovak

[cooky451]

I'm using Firefox 4 (5?) with Windows 7, this shouldn't be the problem

@Topic:
I made a "ground", which actually is my level. Collision detection + gravity works fine with the camera, but it doesn't want to work for the ninja. (He hangs around at ~1m over the ground )

[shadowslair]

He hangs around at ~1m over the ground

As I already said try playing a bit with the collision ellipsoid parameters:

Code: Select all

scene::ISceneNodeAnimator* anim = smgr->createCollisionResponseAnimator(
         selector, node, 

core::vector3df(30,50,30), //<<<<<<<<<<<<< imagine a box with width of 30 and height of 50. The third parameter is the same as the first

         core::vector3df(0,-10,0),

core::vector3df(0,30,0)); //<<<<<<<<<<<<< on Y axis- start with 0 and increase/decrease 

[cooky451]

OMG! Thanks!
I thought the hole time that I was creating him at this point and that the gravity wouln't have any effect on him.

Creating with (1,1,1) and (0,0,0) works fine.

Works fine, thanks.
