How to check when an object is stationary

Post by markhula »

Hi all,

I drop my object from a height and I need to know when it is stationary.
I've tried looking at getlinearvelocity.x/y/z and also adjusting the sleeping threshold (I can see no difference when I alter this).

Is there a proper (better!) method for checking this??

Thanks

btCollisionObject::isActive() will tell you if something's been put to sleep...

Hi,

The problem is the object becomes visually "static" but the sleep takes longer to reach island_sleeping status.
As I mentioned adjusting the sleep threshold didn't seem to make a great difference.

What I am trying to achieve is an efficient way that once an object is static it goes to sleep immediately.(or at least can be put into that state)

Cheers
