[C++, DX9] NewtonWorldRayCast() doesn't work correctly

[Carli]

Code: Select all

the means that the origin is below the destination, I doubt you map is about the origin of the ray.

What is "below"?
For my bug: when i swap p0 and p1, you mean it should work?

or does the ray start have to be not inside a collision?

[JernejL]

Ray start can be in a collision, but it won't detect that shape, since it's a DIRECTIONAL ray, and it doesn't ever detect "inside faces" / faces with normal pointing away from the ray.

[Carli]

But there is still a bug with my bird.

under linux64 and win32 there are unwished results and under linux32 it crashes.

you are setting to 2.0 but in you own exe, teh exe you send me does no do that so I can no debu teh ray because in teh call back is return teh last hit point.
you need to fix that and post the exe so that I can chek what it is tha is making ot fail.

I can not do it because I do not have VS2010, and It take too lokn to set it just for that.

[kallaspriit]

You talked about how expensive VS2010 is in some thread, can't you just use the free express edition? I'm using it with OgreNewt and got no problems, don't need all the bells and whistles of the commercial version

He would still have to download, install it, Install libraries to it, setup your project to work with his directories, etc when you could just send him an exe which does what he asks far quicker. All he needs is the exe but where the distance is set each time before the raycast is called.

[Julio Jerez]

That is correct, however VS2010 is not a lighweight tool, it changes lot of your system setting plus it take lot of space.
I am no ready to do VS2010 yest, I am kind of skippint one vertion,
I had 2003, 2008, maybe I will get 2011.
for what I can see VS2010 is a Ptach for 2008 , not really new features, and the one in are not really for prime time.
Rafactoring is not smart enought to recomend safe changes. and the one it recomend are pedante, that do not really translate to better code.
I tryied once and it left me with a sour taste.
