Exception in StaticTriangleGroup.addAllNecessaryTriangles()

[BrianL]

I'm having trouble with a StaticTriangleGroup throwing the following exception. This doesn't happen until contact has been made by another Entity. The STG is a simple 4x4 flat plane consisting of 25 vertices and 32 triangles. Any ideas? Thanks.

This is likely caused by giving vertices to the StaticTriangleGroup's TriangleMesh which are not of the type StaticTriangleGroupVertex or a subclass. Passing in a superclass (like TriangleMeshVertex) will cause a cast to null in the add method. Using the StaticTriangleGroup's static getVerticesAndIndicesFromModel provides an easy way to get an array of the right type.

I plan to make this a little more forgiving/intuitive.

Yes, that's got to be it. I'm currently passing in an array of TriangleMeshVertex. I haven't tested it yet, but I'll make the switch to StaticTriangleGroupVertex. Thanks.
