Hi!

I use this code to a box object:

Code:

---

 action box_grav
{
	phent_settype(my,PH_RIGID,PH_box);		
	phent_setmass(my,23,PH_box);
	phent_setfriction(my,25);
	phent_setelasticity(my,50,5);
	phent_setdamping(my,50,90);
	ph_setgravity( vector(0,0,-386) );
} 

---

If I take this action on more than 10 object then it clogged, i think the fps will be smoll.

Where can I show the fps and how can I optimize?

I hope you can understand, sorry for my english.

Hit F11 for the debug stats.

Yes, physics do eat the CPU, however you should be able to manage more than ten. What are your system specs?

Intel P4 3.0 GH, 512mb ddr, gf6600gt

I had watch the fps and it's about 59, but my characer hopped.
If I don't use any physic object my character work good.

I had try but isn't good.
I had tested that: I take 20 domino object one after another. If i dont jog the domino my player work good, but if I jog the first domino my character start to hop.

Hi,

just a note ... I thought that it would make more sense to use ph_setgravity and related functions (that effect the physics engine as a whole) in a general routine (e.g. main()) instead of setting it in an entity action.

Can anyone confirm this ?

BTW, I have tested with about 20 objects and while I have other problems with the PhysicsEngine, FPS reduction was NOT one of them.

Also, there is a script you can include for writing a logfile that captures performance statistics (incl. MS used on physics engine activities). That should also give you a good indication where your level code is "spending its time".

Cheers,

I had take about 50 domino to the map and i had pushed the first domino. If the last domino was fall over too then my character was worked again good.
The fps was all the time about 59.
What is the problem? Why is my character hopping?

Just to clear up... is your player also a physic entity?

Dammn, I got (only ? ) COM, so I can´t use more
physicobjects then one.
So I´m really interested to help you, but I can´t
simulate your problem on my machine

Cube,

what data is being displayed when you use the F11-debug information ? Or the performance log - is there anything in there that uses up a lot of time ?

Normally, your character (player) should be able to move concurrently with the dominos falling over. Does this happen too when you have 20 dominos ?

Does your ACTION code for the physic entities include WAIT statement ?

Cheers,
Andreas

Yes, My player is a physic entity too.
