Newton box falls straight through the mesh collision

[Neo]

NewtonReleaseCollsion is deprecated.

you can try using the scale feature of the collsion to match the size of you visual mesh

Sorry for my lately reply after 2 day's off...However, it works all right now since i use the collison scale function. Thx.
It seems that NewtonCollisonScale is a new function added in 300.
now the code is like(maybe turtorials should update then? )

Code: Select all

        matrix4 matrix;
   vector3df scale=irr_meshNode->getScale()*IrrToNewton;//get scale info
   matrix.makeIdentity();
   vector3df pos=irr_meshNode->getPosition()*IrrToNewton;//get position info
   matrix.setTranslation(pos);//set postion
   NewtonCollisionSetScale(collision_map,scale.X,scale.Y,scale.Z);//set [b]collsion's[/b] scale, [b]not[/b] the body's scale
   mapMesh=NewtonCreateBody(nWorld,collision_map,&matrix.pointer()[0]);

Well, some times the box would full through the mesh after several bounces, it seems that if the objects were too small for the mesh, it can easily go through it while intersecting.
BTW, what is the alternative function of NewtonSetWorldSize? This function seems has removed from newton 300, too.

I have not completed that continue collision yet. I will do that afte I get the editor in a more advace state.

for now you can just run at a fastr rate until teh CC is enable.

I just came across a problem where spheres would not collide with a scaled collisiontree body. Is this supposed to be working, at the present? I've already created a workaround, so it's no big deal either way.

[Julio Jerez]

it should work yes.

I just tested and in our engine, calling NewtonCollisionSetScale on a collision tree has no effect.

It does work on other collision types. NewtonCollisionSetScale() must be called before the call to NewtonBodySetCollision().
