Hi!
Here's something unusual: If an entity is created in the script with a action_box() applied (that registers it in the physics engine) everything works just as expected! If I add the entity, with the same action, in the level editor, nothing works!

Am I missing something?

By "nothing works" I mean that there is no physics working. I can look around with the mouse, but nothing is falling.

This problem is really bugging me. I understand if nobody knows what's wrong but, at least, I would like to know if anyone experienced this already. I noticed something new, though.. even with the gravity not working, I noticed that I can still control the ball with the keys (like the one on the tutorial) but it's veeeeeery slow motion! So slow that I only noticed that there is movement now!

It's really strange. And I look for examples, codes, samples using physics and none of them have models in the levels! They all add the models in the script.

Sorry if I'm pushing here, but is it written anywhere that we can't have models in the levels while using the physics engine?

try adding a hollow-box around the level, for some reason physics seems to be affected by it.

Thank you for your response

I already have a hollow box. As I described, the only difference between the working version and the non working version, is a model added in the script (ent_create) and a model added in WED. That's the only difference! This is driving me crazy...

For now, I can continue working in my project... But it's hard, because eventually i'll want to start using the level editor to make.. well.. levels! Making a whole level with ent_create just won't happen.

I'm starting to think the problem is with my installation..

probably something to do with your code...

try that:

create a global variable, set it to 0.(myVar = 0)

then delete that working ent_create.(i mean the physcial entity one) and write this line instead:

myVar = 1;


then in you action (action_box in this case)

add
while(!myVar) wait(1);

to the top, and see if that works.

YES!


I have reinstalled everything... go figure

Anyway, I'm happy now! Thank you, Quadraxas and djbmaster, for your help
