Trying to do a golf game,3D, using the physics within the engine I coded, the problem is, I have to set the cansleep() to 0 so the ball remains active, this causes another problem,as when i read out the velocity of the ball at anytime it seems to never be zero,so i am guessing if you set sleep to 0 then a random +- value gets fed to the x,y,z velocities, very small values!
But how do i tell with that, that the player can shoot again, ideally i wanna check if the x,y,z velocities are zero, but they never are!

if you can follow the code KrazyGrandPrix cars use physics to move and keep the cars moving
https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/223651 it achieves the constant movement
with the command SetObject3DPhysicsLinearVelocity being constantly set

have you played with SetObject3DPhysicsSleepingThreshold() ?

otw, you can do it manually by checking the distance moved per frame (or time), as you've indicated doing. just don't (ever) expect zero. ie, if distance# < threshold#, put it to sleep.

add: 3d (physics) golf is on my to-do list, as well. i'm curious about how much control you're taking vs using default values for things like mass, volume, friction, damping, restitution, etc?

ah, i'm having (not-so-fond) memories re: setting/checking those thresholds. i remembered that sometimes the distance will = 0.0 when it's actually still moving... i thought it came up in blink's kart thread along with a work-around but couldn't find it on a quick skim. alas, since we dont have a GetObject3dPhysicsIsSleeping() command, we'll have to work one out for ourselves.

meanwhile, started a proof of concept:


which includes something like:


good luck, shadey. share when ur ready

I personally just used a bit of math to solve it!




I really hate math beyond addition coz I be a dumbass..lol
But this was a must and works out perfect!

Ok, share you say?!


having lag issues with this god aweful pc tablet though!!

P.S.. Excuse the heavy breathing on the video,in fact mute it! ,I have a bad chest infection!

This is just one game mode of many the 3D engine I coded can run,it also has a first person mode, platformer, tilt to roll a sphere and adventure mode!
Coded this in a way that I can even swap game modes at anytime during level run, so 1 second you are that golf ball, then for some really wack reason,you turn into a guy holding a gun in first person mode, or a mario type guy jumping onto a platform.... it all lends to some interesting game design ideas!!
Errr, but for now I will just keep it golf,and take my meds...


here is adjusted ball size/gravity/speed and added shadows..
