There, I updated the link. Instead of linking to the thread, it now goes directly to the file...

Last time I tried Newton (6.4 I believe), the Newton objects would fall through the terrain geometry. They were fine on level blocks, just not terrains. Does 6.5 play nicer w/ Newton? Anybody Know?

Newton can´t handle chunked terrain.
Call the terrain file something like terrain_n.hmp (n can be every letter or number you want) to disable chunking for that terrain or set the
var terrain_chunk = 0, to disable all chunking.

hmmm...doesn't seem to work for me.

To test, I copied the NGD_Tutorial folder from NEWTON into my work folder. In NGD_Tutorial_1.wmb, I removed the bounding cube that contained the player and the newton sphere and box, and I put in a terrain instead. The filename is "gimpter_n.hmp" and I named the entity "gimpter_n" inside WED. I tried "1" instead of "n", too. I also added the line, "var terrain_chunk = 0;" (no quotes) in my main WDL just below all of the includes.

I built and ran the program. When I shoot the newton objects, they fall to the ground and just keep going. Player is able to run around w/o falling through. :/

Did I put the "var terrain_chunk = 0;" line in the correct place? Do I need to set some other property on the terrain entity?

thanks.

Newton doesn't support terrain in the newer versions. You have to save your terrain as a model instead. Then apply the terrain action.

It works fine for me.
Have you registered the terrain for newton?

With this action:
Code:

---

action NewtonTerrain
{
	NewtonAddTerrainEntity (my);
}

---

Slin, it worked like a charm. Thanks much.

Is that not what the regular newtonTerrain action does?
