Does gamestudio support the physics for human limbs so that they flail about such as in F.E.A.R. or Half Life 2?

If so, how?

Sort of...

it's called ragdoll physics. You can do this, but you have to set it up manually...

basically, get your players bones setup properly.
then, recreate the bones using simple shapes representing every bone
next, setup these models to match your models bones and make them invisible ingame
then add the proper constraints

when your physics models fall, move the model and all of it's bones to match

Wonderful, we need a template with a test model , I guess.

Would it be better to have ragdoll always active or only at the time of death or impact. Would like to know different opinions. There should be a basic template and model setup to exoeriment with.

Maybe I'll setup an example with Newton oneday, but for now I'm busy with a project.

I recommend you only use it when it's needed (death)...

I thought that you were not happy by Newton, being very slow to load level and sunch. Can you set-up an example with A6 physics.

Newtons only gave me problems with loading large levels using blocks.

Model levels don't take as long to load...

So you mean to say that you are satisfied with Newton, if so that's great.

Right now I'm not satisfied with Newton or 3DGS

I'm working on a racing project and neither physics engine is working correctly.

Newton only allows 4 wheel drive which leads to improper drifting and such

3DGS physics are unstable and leading to lots of "jumping" and improper movements....


However, I don't have the time to write my own physics, so I'll have to make one or the other work...

I think it would be nice to have a wrapper for Ageia Physx or Bullet, and these are free and better suited for games simulations.
