The documentation of the PhysX system in the manual seems to be a bit rudimentary too. Nevertheless most works fine now. Whats still a miracle to me, is the trigger system. When activated, objects fall through the floor. Unless they are set to PH_STATIC. Did someone encounter similar problems? Projects, Tutorials

I had a similar problem and I solved it by adding to the entity that function pXent_setccdskeleton, but I had reduced the scale vector to: (0.25,0.25,0.25) Originally Posted By: Superku What do you mean with "trigger system activated" ?

Thanks. Ok, i mean the PhysX event function like this:

Code:

void weapon_pickup_physics()
{
	if(you!=player) return;
	my.event=NULL;
	if(!weapon_give_player())
	{
		wait(-1);
		my.event=weapon_pickup_physics;
		return;
	}
	pXent_settype(me, 0, PH_BOX);
	wait(1);
	ent_remove(me);
}

//uses _type, _mags, _silent
action weapon_physics()
{
        ...
	
	pXent_settype(me, PH_STATIC, PH_BOX);
	pXent_settriggerflag(me, NX_TRIGGER_ON_ENTER, 1);
	my.emask=ENABLE_TRIGGER;
	my.trigger_range=80;
	my.event=weapon_pickup_physics;
}

Here is the code: Code: void main() { physX_open(); pX_setgravity(vector(0, 0, -9.81)); pX_setccd(1); level_load("..."); } action physics_object() { pXent_settype(me, PH_RIGID, PH_BOX); pXent_setccdskeleton(me, vector(0.2, 0.2, 0.2), 1); pXent_settriggerflag(me, NX_TRIGGER_ON_ENTER, 1); } I am certanly making a simple mistake... Does someone have any suggestions? (Thanks) Projects, Tutorials

There is a major issue with the new system where everything falls through terrains if your scale of your terrain is altered in wed. In other words you might need to scale your terrain in med so that when you locate it in wed it has a scale of one... This has caught a lot of us off guard... Its just a shot in the dark... but... I hope that helps and solves the issue...

Try to use that code, after your level map is loaded, maybe it helps. Code: ... physX_open(); pX_setccd ( 1 ); level_load("mylevel.wmb"); pXent_settype(level_ent,PH_STATIC,PH_POLY\|PH_MODIFIED); ...
