Does any one know, how to create tank with physics engine on A7? I've made it with simple C_MOVE. But I want it to be more realistic. So I've decided to make it with physics.
To get a realistic tank with chain you could try using constraints for everything. - link all chain parts with a PH_HINGE together - for the wheels use PH_WHEEL - before you create the chain constraints try to arange them at the right positions ( perhaps a helper mesh containing all chain part positions as vertices) - tower etc. I don't explain. Because of the small size of the chain parts it could give problems with the collisions( I had them trying it with A7/ODE, so I stopped this project)
Another posibility would be: - to create one object for each chain( should be two ) and one for the tankbody - linking them with a fixed joint - than add velocities to the centers of the chain objects. - you should fit their physical material properties - for the visuals of this solution see Quadraxas post.
