Re: Vehicle simulation

Hello there! If you discover a good way to achieve what you've described, I'd be curious in what direction you tweaked things. A small vehicle (a tug car) pulling on a massive vehicle (a 747) will in an initial simulation inevitably cause things to start tearing apart as the physics engine struggles...

Re: Unity3d Fork

Last I looked, BEPU physics 1.x works more or less out-of-the-box on Unity, you just copy the BEPU physics 1 source into your Unity source directory, and it functions. (You of course have to create your own Unity<->BEPUphysics links, EG ensuring a BEPUphysics space is prepared, and translating your ...

Re: MGCB.exe not working properly when compiling

Ways to deal with small object oddities

I have a fun thing I've ignored for a while but should probably address at some point, and just remembered it now so HERE WE GO: I have a world where 1 unit = 2/3rds a meter. (2 feet more or less). Most objects are at least 1 unit wide on one two or all three axes. Everything from the world objects ...

Re: BEPU HoveCraft

I'm aiming for about 2 months for the core parts of v2 to be reasonably complete. That means things like a fully implemented collision pair matrix, a useful zoo of constraints, CCD, deactivation, and the required underlying infrastructure. That first release probably won't include some useful featu...

Re: Customizing the centerpoint of a convex hull shape

Please be more charitable when reading! It is very frustrating to be accused of not helping. If I didn't want to help, I would not respond . Please spend more time trying to understand what I'm trying to say. I am giving you the physical basis for why the issue is occurring, and some options for ho...

Re: Customizing the centerpoint of a convex hull shape

That's... not really reasonable. You're telling me to tell players to 'just deal with it', as opposed to helping me fix the fault? Players will often have a keyboard, not a joystick, and thus can't hold it easily at position where it perfectly counters the downward rotation. Further, real planes are...

Re: Customizing the centerpoint of a convex hull shape

I'm past that point though? I can rotate the plane and all, the problem is it rotates on its own due to semi-external forces (the weight of the wheels, etc. attachments), and I can't figure out how to make it not be rotating on its own... I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself poorly or you're distra...

Re: Customizing the centerpoint of a convex hull shape

Hm... it sounds like you're describing the right thing with the first part, but ... then my question is, what did I screw up to not see any changes from moving that position significantly out-of-line? As for the alternate correction: you stated the problem yourself... a system is not sufficiently ri...

Re: Customizing the centerpoint of a convex hull shape

It might actually be an imperfection of the physics engine I'm correcting for here? Not sure, hopefully not but just in case I'll explain: so I have the small objects jointed onto the large object in the air. By all the physics I know of, this should be stable as far as rotation, and just fall flat ...

Re: Customizing the centerpoint of a convex hull shape

Entity.CollisionInformation.LocalPosition can be set to position the shape arbitrarily in the entity's local space. If you want to position things precisely and need to know exactly where the ConvexHullShape recentered things on, use the ConvexHullShape constructor that outputs the center it comput...

Customizing the centerpoint of a convex hull shape

Let's say I'm constructing a convex hull shape, and I find the center point to not accurately represent the center of mass as well as I want it to. What's the quickest / best way to force the center to a be at a specific point? I noticed I can give it a custom convex shape description, but that has ...

Re: Joints creating weirdly offset positions

So I tried to reproduce it in the demos, but the demos ran it fine without the issue. And I thought to myself, what's the difference between the demos and my code? and after thinking a bit, realization struck: I was trusting my own older code to work in a situation that hadn't actually been 100% tes...
