I am trying to work out how to move and jump using SetObject3DPhysicslinearVelocity()
The problem is how it works, I cannot both move left and jump, unless there is a way?
So far I am simply doing.

+ Code Snippet

	if getrawkeypressed(KEY_Z)
		movleft=1
	endif
	if getrawkeyreleased(KEY_Z)
		movleft=0
	endif
	if movleft>0
		SetObject3DPhysicslinearVelocity( player, 1, 0, 0, 25) 
	endif
	if getrawkeypressed(KEY_X)
		movright=1
	endif
	if GetRawKeyReleased(KEY_X)
		movright=0
	endif
	if movright>0
		SetObject3DPhysicslinearVelocity( player, -1, 0, 0, 25) 
	endif

But of course it stops moving left if I jump or the other way around!

Hail to the king, baby!

If it's a character, you should use the character controller.

I really wanted to roll a ball around, so not really a standing/walking character... but i dont think it is possible is it?

Yes you can roll a ball around. Your code snippet does not show jumping.
FYI the SetObject3DPhysicslinearVelocity command take direction vectors in world space.

The coffee is lovely dark and deep,and I have code to write before I sleep.

ah sorry,i simply have this for jumping:

+ Code Snippet

	if getrawkeypressed(KEY_SPACE)
		SetObject3DPhysicslinearVelocity( player, 0, 1, 0,100)
	endif

So the player object is a sphere and has dynamic physics, how would I roll this around and jump without one effecting the other!

Sample the current physics velocity first, and apply the X Y and Z velocity after adjusting it for movement and jumping. I have a example...

+ Code Snippet

    sx#=GetObject3DPhysicslinearVelocityX(obj)
    sy#=GetObject3DPhysicslinearVelocityY(obj)
    sz#=GetObject3DPhysicslinearVelocityZ(obj)
    
    
    mvz#=getrawkeystate(38)-getrawkeystate(40)
    mvx#=getrawkeystate(39)-getrawkeystate(37)
    inc sx#,mvx#*10
    inc sz#,mvz#*10
    if mb=1
		inc sy#,10.0
	endif
    spd#=sqrt((sx#*sx#)+(sy#*sy#)+(sz#*sz#))
    if spd#>100.0 then spd#=100.0
	if ready>0 then SetObject3DPhysicslinearVelocity(obj,sx#,sy#,sz#,spd#)

There is no de-bounce on the jump (mb=1), but you probably have your own setup for that, as you'd only want to jump if the ball is touching the ground.

The code is dark and full of errors

ok I will look at t thanks,yeh I use it in conjunction with raycasting
hmm.. what is the var mb for?!

well,tried incorporating your code:

+ Code Snippet


function player_control()
	sx2#=GetObject3DPhysicslinearVelocityX(player)
	sy2#=GetObject3DPhysicslinearVelocityY(player)
	sz2#=GetObject3DPhysicslinearVelocityZ(player)
	mvz#=getrawkeystate(38)-getrawkeystate(40)
	mvx#=getrawkeystate(39)-getrawkeystate(37)
	inc sx2#,mvx#*10
	inc sz2#,mvz#*10
	//if mb=1
	//    inc sy#,10.0
	//endif
	spd#=sqrt((sx2#*sx2#)+(sy2#*sy2#)+(sz2#*sz2#))
	if spd#>100.0 then spd#=100.0
	if ready>0 then SetObject3DPhysicslinearVelocity(player,sx2#,sy2#,sz2#,spd#)
endfunction

that is the whole function I have, I had to put a digit of 2 to the vars as I was already using the var names. What happens now is that the sphere totally vanishes offscreen, I also didnt know how the ready var was used so set it to 1 as a global :/

I have recently yet again recoded this 3d editor and just trying to make sure it is ok every step of the way:
here is what I had so far with the problem!

I had changed to a sphere after the video was made

But in that I am of course controlling the rogue cube
As you see it is just in the early stages yet again!

The MB var is the mouse button, that was just copy pasted from an old test thing I did. Also, remove that If ready>0 condition, that's probably causing problems. I used that so manual speed adjustments could be disabled - like you could use that and set it to 0 if the ball is in the air, then it would move with physics alone, then set ready to 1 when on the ground. I've attached the whole test, it's a very simple rope or snake test, spheres following a sphere controlled by the player.

Editor looks good, I like these sorts of games... ever since Spindizzy and Bobby Bearing on the ZX Spectrum, they can get really challenging.

The code is dark and full of errors

for some reason my sphere totally vanishes, too out the ready condition

So I have this

+ Code Snippet

function player_control()
	sx2#=GetObject3DPhysicslinearVelocityX(player)
	sy2#=GetObject3DPhysicslinearVelocityY(player)
	sz2#=GetObject3DPhysicslinearVelocityZ(player)
	//print (""+str(sz2#))
	 
	mvz#=getrawkeystate(38)-getrawkeystate(40)
	mvx#=getrawkeystate(39)-getrawkeystate(37)
	inc sx2#,mvx#*10
	inc sz2#,mvz#*10
	//if mb=1
	//    inc sy#,10.0
	//endif
	spd#=sqrt((sx2#*sx2#)+(sy2#*sy2#)+(sz2#*sz2#))
	if spd#>100.0 then spd#=100.0

		SetObject3DPhysicslinearVelocity(player,sx2#,sy2#,sz2#,spd#)


endfunction

that is called from this function:

+ Code Snippet

function test_level()
	for n=1 to maxobjects
		if object[n].id>0
			set_physics(object[n].id,object[n].pb,object[n].ps)
		endif
		if object[n].gr=1
			player=object[n].id
		//SetObject3DPhysicsCanSleep(player,0)
		endif
	next n
	create_my_text(2000,308,40,25,0,255,0,"Level Running.. Press E to Exit ",0)
	repeat
		//SetObject3DPhysicslinearVelocity( player, 0, 0, 0, 0 ) 
		if getrawkeypressed(KEY_E)
			quit=1
		endif
player_control()

		Step3DPhysicsWorld()
				
		sync()
	until quit=1
	deletetext(2000)
	quit=0
	clear_physics()
	reset_object_positions()
endfunction

as you see the line I have not indented!

yet immediately the sphere vanishes
if i rem out the line
SetObject3DPhysicslinearVelocity(player,sx2#,sy2#,sz2#,spd#)

it is of course there but cant move!

That is odd. One thing I would try, move the Step3DPhysicsWorld() to beneath the Repeat, so it gets called before player control... I know that doesn't make much sense, surely we should update physics after making the adjustments, then sync - but that's how it is in my test, and I can't remember why... it may well have been similar issues.

The code is dark and full of errors

YES! that worked, I knew there was some oddity in some other post I had made, weird. I guess it needs to be called before any adjustments and before the sync()! So simply at the top of the loop indeed.
Thanks for your help.

Under the documentation for the Step3DPhysicsWorld command it does state:

Call before the Sync() command at the bottom of the loop.

However this aint entirely true!
