Could someone who is familiar with the physics engine help me out here? Every once in a blue moon, (twice so far) it actually works for some reason that I am oblivious to. Here is a .blend where I have tried to get it to work, and as usual, nothing happens. Perhaps there is a magic button I have overlooked. ==> http://home.att.net/~zolgnar/index.html/Hmmm.zip
Hello Modron
No magic button needed, but some “method”.
But, in first place, I don’t know what you want to do, in the file demo
so my advices can be wrong.
Second, you need an environment.
If you have Actors with dynamic propertys ( weight, mass etc.) they
neded to “hang” on something.
You must assign a material to your objects
Some Expression controllers lack…expressions
Same for propertys Sensors
Ad maybe other problems???
Check all this
Bye
António
Ok. That is actually really helpful. I will do as you suggest. One thing though,…where are these variables defined? in the NLA editor? Thanks for looking at my file.
I hope you mean the game engine and not somethign else
that said, all settings mentioned by António are located in the Game [Logic] Buttons
it is in the buttons window, the tab looks a bit like pac-man
Well I had some luck creating constraints anyway. That was a step forward.
Aha. Thanks. Looks like I have some reading to do.
Just to be sure I have this straight,…In Blender 2.8, you cannot use collision detection to affect your animation, correct? 2.5 or earlier is required?
Neither can
They physics is for the GAME ENGINE, it doesn’t* affect rendered output at all.
*But there is a python script that copies motion from in the game engine into ipo curves. I haven’t personally used it, and couldn’t tell you exactly where to look for it. It has been mentioned numerous times on this forum.
PLEASE SOMEBODY REPLY IF YOU FIND WHAT I REFER TO
(and I would rather you didn’t post a new thread asking for it, there are enough duplicate threads as it is)
Ahhhhh, most enlightening. It must have been the allusions to the Python script that caused me to think it was possible. I really need to spend more time w my Python.
