slippy moving platform [SOLVED]

[freezer]

this one is confusing, basically we have a dynamic platform (actually currently static), it has the following in an ai

Code: Select all

dynamics.setKinematic(this.getObject(), true)


our user though just slides straight off, but a standard dynamic ball put on it acts like it should.

we see nothing out of the usual on the user, what could be causing it to slide so? any ideas?

setKinematic makes an object "immune" to any external force, bodies with this flag move only when you adjust their velocity.
if you want to move anything on top of such a platform, it is probably safest to either parent it or set it as kinematic as well and match velocities. besides that, your player and the "standard dynamics ball" (whatever that is) certainly have different setups, otherwise they would not behave differently. i also don't understand how something slips off a "currently static" "moving" platform....

right, i've found it...

a ray is cast to check if on the ground and control radically changes when in the air...


scene.getFirstHitCollider() was being used, so, as well i've now checked for sensor and added one to the platform...

had to be silly, oops
