Realistic physics?

by Nate Strandberg · in Torque Game Engine · 01/27/2003 (10:14 am) · 5 replies

Does anyone have some pointers on how to create some realistic in game physics in torque?

As you all know, walking up a 80* cliff isn't very realistic :)
( ^ As you can currently do by default ^ )


Thanks!

You can tweak the player's settings so that they can only go up hills of a certain inclination; that might be part of what you're looking for.

(And of course you can go up an 80 degree hill... it's called "climbing" :P)

Yeah uh-huh climbing eh? lol.. I donno, to climb you kinda usually have to go slow and careful, not just run right up :)

Given that there's already code to detect the slope of a terrain, you could make it so that above the slope, you just move very slowly, as opposed to running up the hill. You could even switch to a climbing animation...
