hi,

iam going to programm a dice script similar to "throwing something" in black an white, but ive a problem at the beginning.

the dice modle is placed in WED and i attach this action to it:

action dice
{
phent_settype(my, ph_rigid, ph_box); // Registiert den Würfel für die PhysicEngine und deklariert ihn als Box
phent_setmass(my, 0.003, ph_box); // Ich bin etwa 3 Gramm schwer
phent_setfriction(my, 50); // Reibungsfaktor
phent_setdamping(my,0, 50); // Dämpfungsfaktor, z.B. Luftreibung
temp.x = 0;
temp.y = 0;
temp.z = -380; // Gravitationskonstante, -380 = 9.81 m/s2
ph_SetGravity(temp); // Setze Schwerkraft
dice1_pointer = me; // Zeiger für spätere Scripts
}

the values are maybe mistaken but i cant testing. At engine start i got this error for every line which start witch "phent":
Error(0): Bad or missing parameter unknown function

it cant imagine what that error is going to tell, so iam here.
iam working witch a6.31 com

thx for help

I don't know if it HAS to be this way, but I set my gravity first, and I set it outside of the function for the object, so maybe create a function like PhysicsINI and put those things like PH_SetGravity, in there. Call that function from the start of main.

Also think about giving your actions / functions more useful names, and to ensure you don't conflict with other functions, although im sure there isn't a 'dice' function...

Here's the code

Code:

---

	// Set Physics		
	phent_settype(my, PH_RIGID, PH_BOX);	
	phent_enable(my, 1 ); // - You dont seem to have this in your script above
	phent_setmass(my, 5, PH_BOX;
	phent_setfriction(my,50);
	phent_setdamping(my,0,0);
	phent_setelasticity(my, 20,0);
	phent_setmaxspeed( my, 10000, 10000);

---

hmm... iam calling the gravity now in the main() function with no difference. i get still this error.

btw do i have to include a physic template file?

ive found the error... iam actuelly not using the comerzial eddition... ive forgotten to upgrade... sry for that =)

That will be it then
