Help about BEPUphysicsDemos.

[seaward]

Hello all. We trying to use BEPU for our game. I have one problem and one question and I ask the help.

Problem. I added a new class _Class1 in the BEPUphysicsDemos for experiments. BEPUphysicsDemos has render and and a lot of code examples. It is convenient. I have created Update() function like press key controller.

Code: Select all

#if WINDOWS
        //ship controller
        public void Update(KeyboardState keyboardInput)
        {
            if (keyboardInput.IsKeyDown(Keys.W))
            {
               ...................
            }
        }
#endif

I have placed an update call in the DemosGame class.

Code: Select all

            
    public class DemosGame : Game
    {
        public Camera Camera;
        public _Class1 ShipClass;

...................
...................
...................

            #region Camera

            //Update the camera
#if !WINDOWS

            Camera.Update(dt, KeyboardInput, GamePadInput);
#else
            Camera.Update(dt, KeyboardInput, MouseInput, GamePadInput);
#endif

            #endregion

            #region ShipClass
#if WINDOWS
            ShipClass.Update(KeyboardInput);   //update ship controller
#endif
            #endregion

Project compilation is executed without errors, but the project hangs on loading. If this code string will comment
//ShipClass.Update(KeyboardInput); //update ship controller
then project will run successfully. Please, help me!!!!

Question. What it's possible to use for giving to my unit of constant force? I try to use class Thruster. What else?

That implies something in the ShipClass.Update method is hanging the system. Put a breakpoint in, run in debug mode, and step through it to get a better idea of what is going on.

You can add to the entity's LinearVelocity/AngularVelocity/LinearMomentum/AngularMomentum properties. If you have an impulse that you want to apply at a certain world space location, you can also use the entity's ApplyImpulse method. Using ApplyImpulse applies both a linear and angular change appropriate for the impulse position. Thrusters use this internally.

Thank you very mach! That's all right.

Just one question else. I can't open .chm documentation file BEPUphysicsv0.16.1API.chm from Win7. Do you have any format of documentation?

That's probably caused by Windows blocking the .chm file. Try right clicking on it, going to properties, and clicking "Unblock" near the bottom.
