Hi there,

I'm currently working on some movement code (again :P) and I have encountered a problem I'm currently unable to solve.

Let's assume we have a stunt bike and it can go fast enough to go up walls and even do loopings.
Well, here's my question: how do I (instantly!) align the model to the normal of the surface underneath? I have found a code fragment somewhere here in the fourm a while ago, but it only allows to modify the angle *gradually*, it needs some frames until the model is fully aligned, which looks quite odd and eventually causes errors in movement every now and then.


Can you help me out?


Thanks in advance,


Alan

The code you found. You can change a variable (i think it was default: 1) to another value. This should increase the speed how the angle changes.

I hop i´m right with that. Try it out

yes you´re right, but the default value was 0.1, you could change it to 0.2 or 0.4.
just try it out.

...or you could use the physic engine.

Hi,

I played around a little with that value. A factor of 100 works quite good for me, but I'll need to refine some other parts of the movement code to make it work the way I want.

@Alibaba: The physics engine, you say? I know that 3DGS *has* one, but I never used it so far. Do you know any good place to get started with the physics engine? A beginner's tutorial maybe?


Greets,

The Workshop 19 has included a physic Tutorial

Thx, I'll check it out!
