I have a map I made in 3D world creator loaded into Dark Basic Professional and Dark Physics demo. I can load the map ok. How do you make the physics work on the map if I loaded it as a DBO file? Like map.dbo The examples all load a box and make it a rigid body. Can I load my .DBO files as a rigid body.

I made a box .1, .1, .1 and get its position then move my camera to it's location in a loop. It doesn't collide with the map at all.
I tried making my camera box object rigid but that didn't help either.

Also if I type in phy I can get command help for the one command. Where are the dark physics commands located? I can't find a listing in the DBP help file.

Thanks for any help

I did some more reading and rewriting and I think I have the physics working. I don't know because my camera box is colliding with the map and won't move. I need to figure out how to slide across the map.

load in your world and use the command phy make rigid body static mesh.

also there is chm help file located in .


C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark Basic Professional\Projects\Dark Physics\Documentation

chm files don`t work on vista you have to find a viewer.

I don't think it's a wise or efficient method importing a whole level and just applying the phy make rigid body mesh.

Would be very intensive on computer if the level was very detailed and had quite a high poly count etc.

I came accross a similar scenario for PhysX Demo competition. I wanted to have a log cabin which I modelled in a 3D package and wanted it so that boulders would smash it into the many parts I had made for it. Well seeing as it was exported as a .x the object is seen as just a single entity and applying the physics to it, the boulders would move the whole thing and it would remain all 'glued' together.

Then I thought, okay, I can use the make object from limb command and then make each limb a rigid body. Only problem was, all the position, rotation data etc is lost and I would of had to manually gone in and position all the pieces.

I want the 3d world I make in 3d world creator to be the world the game plays in. If you can think of a better way to the ground I would like to hear about it.

This might help the vehicle demo uses a loaded layout, that has physx applied to it as a mesh, have a look it may help.

I got it working sort of last night. All objects I load in the level have collision. The camera doesn't however and that is what I wanted to collide. I am thinking I may just create a collision box around the camera and make it transparent.

to speed up your maps loading time physics, you could use phy make rigid body static mesh like this.

example



this should help you get there quicker.
