Very very thanks!

Re: Module: BMOD - Extended Physics Module

Very nice!

Good job.

Re: Module: BMOD - Extended Physics Module

I'm very glad you like it, but i would also appreciate some feedback like: Is it working? Are there any functions you miss (like applying forces, setting gravity, callbacks)? Or should i work on entity handling (proper collision with walls, doors, breakables)? Or should i try to implement player collision?

I think that would be one of the best goals you could accomplish with this, along with the entity handling.

One thing that I saw immediately that I would prefer you do is convert the following into an enumeration.

Code:

0 - sphere (x is radius)

1 - box (x, y and z are half of box dimensions)

2 - cylinder (same as box, x is radius; cylinder is situated along Z axis)

3 - capsule (x is radius, y is distance between half spheres; capsule is situated along Z axis)

4 - cone (x is radius, y is height; cone is situated along Z axis)

Using an enumeration would be easier to distinguish what is being created, instead of trying to remember the numeric values.

Also, I have not had any time to actually test anything with this, but could you answer these questions (they all have to do with how much entity data is used between "worlds"):

Are entities' and objects' velocities tied both ways? Meaning if I set an entity's velocity, will it correctly alter the object's velocity?
Does an entity's movetype also affect its movement? I.e. would an entity with MOVETYPE_FLY float in the air?
Does the entity's gravity affect anything?

A feature that I think would be interesting, would be able to do something like Weapon Physics for the entities.

Whatever, that was the most easy thing to do.

Nope, bmod ingores and overwrites all your changes of velocity. I would have to store last frame velocity and that is wasting of memory, because i am able (*will be able in next version) to set velocity and forces directly using internal bullet functions.

Nope, why would you hook an entity you want to be floating to an physics engine anyway?

Nope. I'm going to use origin, angles, velocity, avelocity and gravity to create bullet objects. (In current version only origin of entity is used)

I don't get it, could you be more specific? What feature would be interesting?

Re: Module: BMOD - Extended Physics Module

Player push will be great when collision occurs. It should be done taking into consideration the objects and players weight.

So, you're saying that if an entity doesn't have gravity, it shouldn't need better physics?
What about something like ricochet where discs fly around and push players? I think that would be a good purpose for such feature.

Grenade explosions and bullets pushing entities, since it seems you have the bounce feature already made.

There could be a function called set_object_weight that would change the weight of an object. Then Bmod would calculate the acceleration using the formula: Force = mass x acceleration
