hi guys need your help once again. i wanted to ask im making a level completely of 3d cubes. the main player is a 3d sphere. i made all the cubes in dark basic pro. How can i add gravity so the sphere rolls on the cubes and falls off when going by a pit or the edge. i know i might be able to use sparkys , but can you tell me the commands to add gravity. i tried the ode commands and they dont seem to work. thanks for your time.

you would need to look into a physics upgrade for that, unless you want to code your own physics which would probably be hard to do...

I've been using Dark Physics, but I'm guessing that ODE has a similar set of commands.

Make the cubes static, and the sphere dynamic, and it should work OK. Also try setting the sphere just above one of the cubes so that it falls down onto it. If the two objects are initially overlapping, that might be causing a problem.

Isn't it a case of creating a collision with the ground entity/plain/texture and then constantly making the player's Y variable decrease by a given amount?

I'm a beginner myself, but this is what I've read elsewhere.

pretty much but he said something about rolling.

if you just want to be able to walk on a ground thats easy (just decrease y until there is a collition then poisition yourself at y+1 or something) but for rolling you would need physics...

well it doesnt matter about rollign because the shpere is jsut a temporary, i will use a 3d mdoel later. what im saying is the ode commands add gravity and everything. but now whn the level starts the sphere just falls out of the sky it doesnt stay on the cubes. i even made the cubes static ad added collision nd everything.

ok so i made the cubes and positioned them right next to each other. ill include a screen shot ignore the alien in the picture. im usign the ode commands it is addign gravity and everything. the sphere is the player but the sphere keeps falling of no matter how high i position it.. so no mater how high i position it it always gets positioned under the cubes. i think i will start a new post and then postr the code and media because this thread is kinda of messy and not many people responding too it.
