I'm experiening a little problem moving my sphere around.
I'm developing a game which have the same moving philosophy as the ball in 19th workshop, only with little differences such as camera oriented directional thrust, but the problem is another because the same thing happens when running the 19th workshop.

Here's the thing: i'm moving the entity around, and randomly, the entity halts, assuming the initial position, and like that lays forever. No matter what i do, the entity won't budge.

I'm using nearly the same physicengine settings as the 19th workshop, but that doesn't matter since i got the same behaviour there.

Does this happens with anyone else or theres just something wrong with my OS or hardware ? (cuz i have another problem (a stupid and impossible one, it seems) with animated textures)

I'm working with A7 Comm 7.60

Thanks in advance.

Anyone else has the same problem?

Update to A7.66.

It still happens with A7.66

If it's any help (for you to understand), i'm moving the entity over a huge smooth textured surface, about 400 x 2500 quants.

I've noticed that the entity stalls at low moving speed (i'm moving the entity with phent_addtorqueglobal) and exactly over some (not all) gridlines, visible when debugging with F11.
Could the block size be a problem ?

I'm using the same moving method as seen in workshop 19, except the runtime entity creation. My entity already exists on the level and have his action attached.

That's the only fail that the whole game has and i've tried many things, without success though... help is greatly apretiated, and thanks a lot for your time.

Again, no one else has this problem?

Now, with 7.66, in workshop 19 doesn't seem to happen... could it be the block size?

Thanks.

upload your project, then we can say if it happens or not.

Of course... silly me.

Here is a sample , using the same entity, code and blocks as one of the game levels, where the problem occurs.
Within the zip, there's a JPG showing one of the stall spots.

You can move the mouse to move the camera, zoom in/out with the mouse scroll and press [space] to perform a pseudo-jump.

Just pass in the stall spot slowly, back and forward. With me, eventually (max 10-15 secs) the entity stalls.

Thanks a lot!

That's rather odd. I'm having no problems with this.

This is a complete shot in the dark which probably isn't even relevant. But perhaps it's something to do with your installation? If it isn't already, install it to the Program Files. My 3DGS acted somewhat erratically as well until I re-installed it.

Well, if it works for one person, it's good enough for me .

I will try to re-install 3DGS.
It's under "Program Files", but i've updated like 2 or 3 times and never performed a fresh install.
My animated textures are stupid too... Animate on the thumbnail but are frozen @ runtime.

Thanks a lot for trying the sample

By the way, when you tried the sample, was the wall animation running? Like a glowing blue stripe thingy?
