Best choice for a 3D platform game

[TailsetSonic]

I'll try an ultimate solution and after that I'll forget about dynamics ^^', I'll try to add a strong force in the opposed direction of the Y axis of my cube. I try to keep dynamics because there are a lot of things that I better have not to reimplement, that would be stupid =

For the rotation I already got the solution. I get the angle corresponding on the X and Z component of the normal vector of the platform and I do the same for the X and Z component of the Y axis vector. Then I substract the angles from the Y axis with the angle from the normal vector. To finish I make a "rotate" on my character with that values. That perfectly works ^^

Hi guys,

Maybe you can try this solution (with physics engine) :

- addForce to go forward
- get the vertical vector of your character (from head to feet)
- use this vector to set the gravity vector using scene.setDynamicsGravity ( ) (if your character is the only physicalised object, cause if not, you will have a really strange game : ))

I would like to but I have a lot of other entities in my game ^^

[IS_Brice]

Ok so your idea of adding a big force from head to feet is good too. It should work.

good luck : )

Hi, it's me again.

I have a question : Is a dynamic object considered as a collider too ?
If I have a dynamic object and if I use getFirstHitColliderEx, will it
detect the dynamic object as a hit collider ?

[broozar]

why don't you try?

short answer: use getFirstHitSensorEx.

I will try ^^

But first I have to solve my jump problem. When I jump I use addForce but it doesn't jump always with the same strengh.

When I jump I use addForce but it doesn't jump always with the same strengh.

Could it be cause the object doesnt always have the same speed?
Adding force isnt equal to setting the velocity ...

Yes,

to jump set Y-velocity to zero then add linear impulse to Y.

use addForce to Y if you want to reduce gravity while in air while player holds down jump button (most platformers do this)

It's exactly what I though, depending on the frame the report between different forces may be different. Thank you for your help ^^

But I have to change the vector velocity from the Globalspace to the LocalSpace of my box that is different from the local space of my dynamic ball. Because when I run on a wall, I want the jump in the direction of the character's Y axis and not of the scene's Y axis.

So what I want to do now is send my vector V from GlobalSpace to the box space, delete the Y component of V, send V from box space to GlobalSpace. But it is very complicated =_= change a vector from a space to an other need to make a lot of matrix operations and there is no tool for that kind of calculation. Is there an other way to make it ? =
