Re: Advice for cup shape?

Could you explain further how to use the "PROFILE" compilation symbol? I cannot find any references to it in the project (I just did a ctrl+f search for the phrase) and adding the symbol didn't seem to change anything (same performance afaik, nothing output). I've been trying to profile ma...

Re: Advice for cup shape?

I'm now trying the game on xbox, and getting more slowdown than the older engine. This is mostly my fault for writing inefficient code, but unless you can help me figure it out I need to revert to the old engine. Just to remind you this is my physics world: 2 Boxes for a table and the floor 1 Sphere...

Re: Advice for cup shape?

Actually I'm still working through a couple upgrade issues, and I'm hoping you can give me some advice. To fix my bouncing issues I decided to make the non-moving objects have bounciness near 1 (actually 0.95), and kept the ball roughly the same as it was previously (about 0.6). However the number o...

Re: Advice for cup shape?

Hello again! Let me first start by saying thank you - even with all the issues described until now, Drinkards Beer Pong is doing very well on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace , and it wouldn't be possible without your awesome physics powering it! So now that I've finally caught up with myself, so to speak,...

Re: Advice for cup shape?

Thank you for all the help so far. I copied the ApplyScale method to my own code and I'm seeing something strange when I move the value down from 1 toward the 0.025 you suggested. It actually is noticeable sooner, around 0.5, so I think I need you to correct one more mistake of mine ;) Also full dis...

Re: Advice for cup shape?

Hello again! I'm closer than ever to finishing my beer pong game , and I wanted to get some last-minute advice that might help me tighten my physics. I'll start by saying it is already going quite well, such that I could release it with the current issues. Some interesting effects make me think I'm ...

Re: Advice for cup shape?

Thank you for your reply! When I used dynamic cups earlier, it is possible that there were some degenerate triangles, as I found some of these on one edge when reviewing the model later. Everything else you mentioned I checked (sidedness) but this one edge might have been the problem. However to mak...

Advice for cup shape?

Hello, first let me say thanks for providing this system, it sure is fun! My issue is I'm trying to make a game of 'beer pong' which involves throwing a ball into one of many cups. I'm not sure if my concave shape is messing everything up or I'm not using the components correctly. First, I tried dyn...
