Re: Collision Test

This seems to work in some cases, however not in all. When I use a ConvexHullShape for the Collidable and it finds an overlap with the terrain, the game crashes with a NullReferenceException. the method creating the null reference is the following method from the NarrowPhaseHelper: ///<summary> /// ...

Re: BoundingSphere

Hmmm, I need something that also gives an exact result for things like the CompoundShape. I could probably implement something like MaxDistanceFromPoint myself, for most shapes. However, I could use some help with the MinkowskiSumShape, and I'm not sure if it is even possible for the TransformableSh...

Collision Test

I want to test that my Entity will not cause any collisions at its starting transform before I add it to the space. How would I do that?

Button

I want to create buttons attached to dynamic entities, which the player can click (using raycast). These buttons shouldn't collide with other objects. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this. I'm considering using a compound shape to add the button to the entity's shape, and then change the...

BoundingSphere

I noticed some code on the forum where someone made a call to BoundingSphere property. I haven't found such a property in my entities or shapes. Is this a new feature? I'm currently looking for a way to find the tightest possible bounding sphere of my shape centred at its centre of mass. Can I use t...

Terrain BroadPhaseEntry?

Does the Terrain class have a BroadPhaseEntry? And if not, does that mean I have to do a ray-cast on it separately from the ray-cast on the space?

Framerate inconsitency

I have a problem with my game's frame-rate. It varies greatly; from as much as 700 fps to as little as 20 fps. I have no idea what causes this, but I have not much else running besides the bepu physics engine and the bepu physics drawer.

Re: Blackspace using BEPU now on Kickstarter

Looks really great. I love landers myself, and I'm working on several games that use them myself, also using BEPU.

Raycast on CompoundCollidable

I'm performing a raycast and if it hits a CompoundCollidable I would like to find out what child of the CompoundCollidable it hit. What would be the best way of doing this? Maybe a special raycast method could be added to the CompoundCollidable?

GetQuaternionBetweenNormalizedVectors

It seems to me that Toolbox.GetQuaternionBetweenNormalizedVectors returns an incorrect value when the condition of its if statement is met.

Re: Gradually rotating a character

Yes, That's the one I used. I specifically Didn't want the objects to be activated by the constant gravity. I didn't realize the impulses would accumulate as they did. I've added a check for activity to the method that applies the gravity.

Re: Gradually rotating a character

I believe I may have just solved the issue. When the object gets deactivated the gravity impulses still accumulate. When it is reactivated because the player walks into it the box has a huge velocity and shoots through the floor.

I'm not that familiar with compilation symbols, where and how would I have to specify this?

Re: Gradually rotating a character

I've updated to v1.2.0 but unfortunately this only makes the problem worse. The game now runs at half the framerate as it did before. And the box, rather than being launched into the air is teleported under the platform it sits on.
