Physic SetPosition usage

Physic SetPosition usage

Postby SpiderMack » 14 Nov 2017, 12:06

Hi,

I have some model with physic component and kinematic setup.
It has a script to move it , but nothing happens ?


function onUpdate(timeDelta)


x,y,z = entity.getPosition(obj);

if( input.keyDown( "z" ) == 1 ) then

x = x + 1 ;

physics.setPosition(obj,x,y,z);

end

end

kinematic rigidbodies are designed to be moved not have their position set otherwise collisions and callbacks will never happen.

Try using "physics.move" and "physics.rotate" with kinematics.

Physics.move doesn't seem to work on rigidBody kinematic.

Thats what the command is designed for..

remember its not a setPosition, its accumulative.. so entering say 0,0,0 will not move it at all.

For example: (pseudo code)
Code: Select all
...
pBodyID = physics.getBodyID(obj);
physics.move(pBodyID, 1, 0, 0) -- will move on the X axis by a unit of 1.
...


try to use timedelta also when moving things to ensure everything moves at the same speed regardless of framerate.

It didn't work.

Is there some tutorial somewhere ? The idea is to get some sliding door or to make some flying drone, both with collisions.

hmm, it should work, i will have to add it to the list of things to try haha :P
  • Just to check, but on the entity properties, first header have you set it to Dynamic and constant update "on".
  • Have you tried the physics debug visualisation that can be turned on from the scene settings.
  • Try running the move in an update, so every frame it is forced to move..

just tried it and this worked for me.
Added a rigid body action to a box.
Set its "PRB Dynamic" to "kinematic"
Added a micro script with the following code:

Code: Select all

obj = 0;
x = 0;
y = 0;
z = 0;

function onInit(objID)
   obj = objID;
   x,y,z = entity.getPosition(obj)
end

function onUpdate(td)
   pBodyID = physics.getBodyID(obj);
   physics.move(pBodyID, x, y, z)
   x=x+1*td
end



This when run even pushes a ball out of the way.
Note: the move command uses direct/absolute co-ords rather than accumulative. Therefor you have to increment the position on each frame for this to work
Hope this helps :)

Nothing happens, no movement and i have the right physic setup (constant update, kinematic).
Perhaps something is wrong somewhere in the code, i know Skyline can't show code errors and code validation doesn't works many times.
I'll give it another try later.

It works with your code.

However, i noticed if the player goes against the moving object, many times the player passes throught the moving object collision.
Is this normal ?
