I have two questions.

So I have my Character body with Mass, and all the other physics data set up. I've got gravity working. Here's the problem...if my character is falling too fast he will go right through the terrain. Even if he hits the terrain at a slower velocity he will still sink through it a little.

I need to know how I can prevent my character from sinking through the ground when he falls at a fast velocity. Any ideas?

I dont know newton, but if there is no newton solution you could do something like this


If you give someone a program, you will frustrate them for a day; if you teach them how to program, you will frustrate them for a lifetime.

I've had objects slowly ooze through static objects and eventually fall through them. I believe it was because I did not set moment of inertia values. Do you use any of the NDBCalculateMIBxxxx functions? Or fill in values for the set mass matrix?

If it is because the object is actually falling too fast for collision to be registered properly, then you need to do time-slicing. Here is some pseudo code.

I'm not a real programmer but I play one with DBPro!
