Physics and Elevators - 11/25/10 05:49
Hello Everybody,
I asked 4 months ago about this but I didn't get any response, so hopefully this time somebody help me ...
I made an elevator as a physics kinematic object... I used pXent_kinematic ( entity, var active );
and moved it using pXent_moveglobal ( entity, VECTOR* vMove, ANGLE* aRotate);
However, the physics player (pXent_movechar )doesn't move up and down or sideways with the moving elevator if I keep the player standing on it (( The elevator gets through the body of the player)) but If I walk or run on the elevator while it is moving up then everything works fine and the player moves up... ...
When I don't use physics I can solve it by making the player.z = elevator.z+100; but now I can't use xyz to move the player cuz I am using physics...
and I am using :
pX_setccd ( 1 ); in my main function and pXent_setccdskeleton(my, nullvector, 1); in my actions...
I even asked JCL and he said that "solutions are the same as for non-physics, just with pXent_movechar instead of c_move."
However, in non physics codes that can be found in AUM, George changes my.z but here it's a physics entity that can't be moved using my.z
Here's a code taken from AUM >>>
Is there any way I can convert it to physics?
