Moving Platform Questions

[Stevemata]

In the character playground demo there is an elevator, why does it overshoot its end points?

[Norbo]

I set it up to use a kind of curve which adds some smooth acceleration and the overshooting, for no real reason. You can use any kind of curve (or none at all) to control objects.

[Stevemata]

Okay, what would be the best way to stop it from overshooting its endpoints?

[Norbo]

Change the curve from a CardinalSpline3D to a LinearInterpolationCurve3D. Note that some of the control points will be rendered redundant by this change.

[Norbo]

I should again emphasize that these curves are just one way to handle the motion of a kinematic entity; they boil down to setting the velocity properties on the entities. You can set velocities directly if it's more convenient.

Awesome dude. Bepu is awesome, great work.

Thanks
