Reality Factory

Units: Real physics works of course with units. Eg acceleration of a car can not be unit-less, it's some meters/second. As physical engines are based on integration methods, errors in the precission of calculations are accumulated and increase to bigger errors. Therefore mathematical tricks are used ...

Hello all,

I'll try answering some of your questions

Tokamak is a physics engine that no longer is supported and for which the source code was never released. I've tried to trace back source, programmer etc... but no source is available

I've choosen for Tokamak as it is one of the less "heavy ...

Best insert a Fixed camera + change the angle properties till the camera looks to what you want to see. Set the First flag to true.

Then make a script that would look in pseudo code looks this:

If Possessed then
ChangeView(3)
else
ChangeView(1)

In the script you can also move + rotate the ...

Not possible today but is possible with additional coding.

Script code could be kept very quite similar to the Tokamak implementation in RF1, but ODE and Newton offer some additional features. It's mainly a matter of "how" the engines are integrated.

Federico, as usual, a great nice demo well showing the capabilites of Tokamak. Very nice done !

Great, thanks a lot !

Hi QoD,

Nice to see that a most of my script commands now made it to be in the new release !! And thanks a lot for adding the slight remake of my script commands demo. Appreciate your idea to put me (Nout) in there :P

I realize well that integrating all this new code was a lot of work as code ...

The program is on hold right now.
Too many other obligations.

There is meanwhile an entity + a 1-line script command that creates a controllable car. But it's not released. Too many other bugs pending

Frederico is making a ragdoll script I think is very similar to what you describe.

I've added some new bone features to RF075 + physics, but it's unreleased material. I'm also adding an ActorDoll, which sounds like the entity version of what you discribed.

So today, no, it's not existing (read ...

I've created a version of RFeditPro where you fully can disable the rebuild + with a few more features build in for alignment, rotation etc... It also allows to make a part of a cylinder.
Drawback: the file format is slightly extended. There is an option to save under previous formats, but then you ...

In the released version of RF + physics the entity is not working correctly
The new release includes several updates to this entity but is not released. Still some bugs to resolve.

For now, use a scripted car from Frederico

You can apply damag by scripting
Look to the script language and search for "damage"

Just pass it to me and I'll add it to the new coming RF075 + physics release.

Date for the release: ASAP, but need still a few bugs resolved

Frederico,

For the rotation, do not use the Genesis version, as this only is set up to work correcty for 0 to 180 degrees, but not -180 to + 180 degrees

Instead use the RF version of it, eg:

CCD->ActorManager()->Position(PhActor[rgNr], Pos);
CCD->ModelManager()->GetEulerAngles(&M, &Angles); //the ...
