Gravity Gun with ODE-Physics

Hi

Made a gravity gun for my project and wanted to show a small clip just for fun. There is no sound.

Looks good, but you need to move picked object a bit forward from camera, just my opinion.

It looks very similar to Portal, good work You could add a nice glowing effect at the end of your gun.

nice video, also shares similarities with my "the throwing game",
where you can also throw players and(in future) objects, although on a different way.

wow, I really love it. 3run is right, it blocks you view a bit too much.
Do you have any plans to share the code with us?

Thanks to all. Yes, the object should hover not that close.

I want to make objects with hinges that can move free by physics. Such as boxes with lids.

Did someone code this with ODE allready? I did it with Newton GD some time ago, but it worked not allways.
Suggestions would be very nice!

yes it has been already coded, i cant say where you'll find it however, but i dont think its TOO hard to set up though.. [though that doesnt help you much]

made by Emre but i guess it's A6 WDL

Look at the Free Resources! There is a version for both C-SCRIPT and LITE-C.

Hi

A small update. Thanks to the hints i managed to add destructable hinges. Campared to newton its not that easy to do...
Have a look: Gravity Gun 2

Looks better (but a bit buggy, especially box covers), but one thing looks odd, when you hold object and move with it, looks like vector for object was declared after object was holden (the way it lag after players movement). But that is just my opinion Other ways looks good.

I guess that's because the object is not placed manually but by use of the physics engine, so it isn't set to a vector, but insetead a force is applied that moves it to the desired position. However, correct me if I'm wrong.

Looks good in my opinion. I'd like to read more about the project itself.

Yes, I didn't mean that he used vectors, I just gave that as an example.

Yes, this would look a lot better, if the force was applied at the hit.x coordinates relative to the object (maybee shifted into it a little bit). I tried but didnt get it to work that way yet...

What physics engine you used? ODE or PhysX?

Ahm? you read the topic ?

Duh...sorry my bad
