Okay so I've successfully converted an ogre mesh to a physics mesh, using the TriangleMesh thingy to build it. When I try to put it in a RigidBody it just makes the vehicles jump all over the place which wasn't right at all. I then tried putting it in a CollisionObject instead, which worked a lot be...

Hi,Is there a better method to make a moving platform that interacts with other dynamic rigid bodies for an irregular mesh? Should it be implemented using a 6DOF constraint and setting a linear velocity? If kinematic object is the way to go, how to I prevent bad penetration with dynamic objects? co...

I kinda take a Component approach and load all of my game object data from files, instead of having a billion subclasses. The files specify model components and shape components, and then at runtime the program sticks everything together, including putting all of the shapes in a compound collision s...

use a simpler model?

EDIT:
if you can't do that, maybe weld vertices that are close together within a certain threshold?

My trigger regions are now just static rigid bodies with the NoContactResponse flag raised.
Fixed the problem with the vibratey kart too - I had the damping set to 100. I changed it to 10 and now it doesn't vibrate at all!

...solved I guess?

well even if I stick a kart or a regular box inside the region, ghostObject.NumOverlappingObjects always returns 0. So my method that only fires events when things just enter or leave the region isn't causing the problem... I've also tried playing around with some more flags. Still nothing. EDIT: we...

If I flip my kart upside down, the vibration stops. So it's likely something to do with how I set up the wheels.

Hi, I'm new to bullet and I'm using a c# wrapper and have two small problems that are probably just me doing something stupid. : [/i]D I'm doing a mariokart-like racing game. First problem is that when I use a RaycastVehicle for the karts and drive them around (or even just let them sit there, not m...

EDIT: changed to world->addRigidBody(rigidBody, 1, -1); to fix the problem! For some reason I had explicitly put the "default" arguments in, but assumed the default for the collision group was 0, but it should be 1!! heh yeah that'd be why. 0 is no collision, 1 is default, etc. Look in bt...

I'd like to know this too
