Tiny Collision on Terrain?

[Bostich]

Hi there

ATM i want to try to play a little bit with moving tiny arround. After some test's i got it to move tiny to the left, right front and back.

But tiny walks trough my little mountains, how is it possible that i got a really "walk feeling" (sry no idea to describe it better^^).

That includse also, that tiny dont walk in the air, if u know what i mean .


Any tips would be very nice

Ty, Bostich

//Edit:

hehe, i looked long time into the code, to find how i can fix my problem. didnt find anything. 30 seconds after my post, i find the solution in ur demo. HAHA

for other people:

// adjust to terrain height
tiny.Pos.Y = currentTerrain.GetHeight(tiny.Pos.X, tiny.Pos.Z) + 0.25f;

Yep that's the solution

Hello again Silmaryls

today i was taken the newest snapshot from svn an compiled the "game class".

In your precompiled Brume 1.6 Demo, u have a nicely terrain collision (u cant move behind or under the terrain with the activeCamera). In the game class this is not so. Can u say me how u do this?

in the game class in method "TestTerrain" is written:

Code: Select all

...
terrainGeoMipMap.HasCollisions = true;
...


but that doesnt seems enough.

So what can i do to get this working .

ty, Bostich

Well first the SVN version is really unstable one. In fact I'm changing Brume architecture in order to support DX10 in the future.
So you will better have to stick to the CVS repository if you want something stable (until next release).
But It's your choice.

Now for the terrain collisions : the HasCollisions property you are talking about is used for collisions with the Collision/Physics part of the demo (for example the sphere stack is falling on the table and then on the terrain).

If you are talking about camera 3 (the one that follows tiny in the demo), the collision system is really simple. I'm just checking the camera height every frame :

Code: Select all

float currentY = currentTerrain.GetHeight(camera.Pos.X, camera.Pos.Z);
if (camera.Pos.Y <= currentY)
{
     camera.Pos.Y = currentY;
}
