Thanks for suggestion.

I'd appreciate if you could explain in similar fashion chain of constraints you used in this car suspension demo.

Great, and I started to worry already because my spring voodoo didn't do the magic and tanky were sliding no matter what :) I'm working on gun and turret right now and I'd like to know what type of constraints would do the job in a such a scenario: tank.jpg I thought about BallsocketJoint with some ...

Yeah,I think I finaly got it :) When I position my tank on the slope and no buttons are pressed no impulses are applied to the tank but still it slowly goes down the slope, in a slightly jerky fashion. It looks like some of the wheels are unable to withstand gravity force and loosing traction or whe...

OK, now it works fine. I'm trying to understand various settings here and we have this initialization code: var body = new Box(new Vector3(0, 0, 0), 4, .5f, 5); body.CollisionInformation.LocalPosition = new Vector3(0, .8f, 0); so, as I understand this, it creates box at 0,0,0 with height of .5f. Nex...

Great. In the tankdemo suspension and wheels entities creation is based off tankbody position. How to move / teleport tank in desired position without messing it up? Setting tank's body position to arbitrary value displaces wheels and basicaly screws up whole setup (tank body is to high or wheels lo...

This one is great, that's exactly what I was thinking of. I like the idea building this using constraints - it looks more lightweight then vehicle class, for this particular purpose. Thanks! Another question: what's the difference using DistanceLimit and LinearAxisLimit with approriate settings for ...

Hi Norbo, I'm experimenting a little with CarSuspensionDemo trying to make it turn like a tank - stop rotating left wheels and keep rotation on the right side to turn left etc. I modified demo so when I want to turn left, I set "Settings.VelocityMotor.GoalVelocity" to the left drivingmotor...

Hi, Norbo, does XNA fork gets any updates on physics-related code, or it left alone after fork and all updates go to dependency-free fork?

EDIT: OK, I red post on your website and it's clear now.

Thanks,
S.

Hmm.... I'll look into this, you're may be right here.

Thanks for late-night help!

P.S. I don't know what're doing for living but amount of time you put in helping poor souls like me here, considering all the details and depth of your explanations here is astonishing. All the best to you.

It doesn't work Norbo. Please look at attached screenshot - shape A supposed to be located (lower hemisphere of the capsule) at black line but it's sitting some units higher. Probably at compound shape computed physical center, but it's not what I'm looking for. BTW, compound shape is built of shape...

Hi, I'm having this problem with CompoundShapeEntry positioning. Results I'm getting are that some shapes positions within compound are not as expected - they're shifted several game units up in particular example. That's at least how it looks like when drawn using BepuModelDrawer. I'm not talking a...

Thanks for your reply Norbo.

AngularMotor (I attached it just like in ActionFigureDemo) worked fine. Setting AngularDamping on entity worked too but didn't give expected result.

Hi, I'm playing around with dogbot demo and can't find a proper way to change "ears" behavior - I want them feel like they weight more, less bouncy. I tried increasing their weight but it didn't help - with weight around 30-50 they simply overload dogbot, pushing it down, over the head. I ...

Thanks Norbo. About ballistics, let's say I want to simulate effects like bullet drop and derivation. As for drop it's probably easiest to do with bullet being dynamic entity - it simply will be affected by gravity. What about derivation - setting appropriate angular velocity will do the magic? In c...

Great. Is there any piece of demo code I could look at to see how to best implement variable step? Basicaly what I want to do is to have GPU drawing at full speed, but physics run in fixed step, so that drawing code "synchronizes" with physics fixed number of times, thru a BufferedState I ...
