Can a simple quad be a polysoup enabled object?

by Alain Labrie · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 05/24/2009 (12:17 pm) · 3 replies

Can a quad (flat square plane) defined as a TSStatic with polysoup enabled lead to a crash in TGEA 1.7.1? I just converted alot of my structures to polysoup and I seem to be experiencing some heap corruption issues.

Thanks,
Alain

They should work just fine as long as it's not a convex hull. The geometry shouldn't have to be enclosed.

If you can trace into OpCode and see where it dies, and post some information here, perhaps someone can help you.

I'm also experiencing heap corruption issues when there's a ton of objects and framerate gets very low. If I make any progress I'll let you know. Oh, my problems are in T3d, are you in TGEA or T3d?

My heap corruption issues most often seem to coincide with the removal of objects from the level (in my case, ShapeBases). The more objects that are removed, the more frequently it happens. It appears this seems to be in line with this thread:

Could this be a problem in the Torque memory manager?
