Collision Jiggle & Bounce

by Deozaan · in Torque Game Builder · 03/09/2009 (9:32 pm) · 5 replies

I thought that the bounce and jiggle from collision was fixed in the latest version of TGB. Then why is this happening?

TGB Bounce?

Collision response is set to RIGID and I'm using the Platformer Tutorial behavior on the ship to move it left and right and I only jump a couple of times. The rest of the time it bounces (higher and higher) all on it's own when I'm not pushing any buttons.

The reason why you ship is bouncing off the blocks is becuase you set it to RIGID. Im not sure what the premis is with your game, but your ship is being affected by gravity, so whats happening is your ship falls towards the ground, and then bounces off becuase of its RIGID physics. Either turn off gravity or RIGID, or if you want it to fall like that mess with the setting to make it bounce less.

Well, the reason I changed it to RIGID is because it was doing something similar with CLAMP.

Take a look: TGB Clamp Bounce

Deozaan, although I don't know the answer of your question(I'd like to know it too). I am really curiously about your recored video. They surely make things much clear when asking questions.

Can you tell me how you recorded those two videos? Or by what application?

Frank: I used an application called BB Flashback. I didn't know it was as expensive as it is since I volunteered to beta test it and got a free license out of the deal, but you could probably get BB Flashback Express to do everything that I did in these videos.

Also, if you're a Supporting member of DonationCoder.com they have a 50% off code for all of BB's software. You can become a Supporting member of DonationCoder and reap the benefits of being a member (discounts, giveaways, and an awesome software community (Cybernet awarded it The Most Useful Forum in 2008)) for a donation of anything. Even $0.01. The 50% discount would make BB Flashback Express only $20, which is much more affordable in my book. :)

Didn't mean to come off as an advertisement, I just love DonationCoder and that's actually how I came to know about BB Flashback and how I was able to sign up for the beta and get the software for free. Also, they're having a fundraiser this month so it would be great to get some more donating members to support the cause.

Thank you Deozaan!

You've provided me such plenty of information, even including how to get discount!

Really appreciate your help:D
I'll have a try when I got time soon.
