LE3 CharacterController

[tjheldna]

Hi Josh,

 

I'm trying to create a CharacterController Object and spawn a character dynamically in code, but having some trouble. (C++)

 

Is the below code correct?

 

 

playerEntity = Model::Load("Models/Characters/Barbarian/Barbarian.mdl");

CharacterController *controller = CharacterController::Create(playerEntity, 1.6F, kPlayerHeight, 0.5F, 45.0F);

playerEntity->SetMass(10);
controller->Release();

I load the level an turn on physics debugging but there is no collision shape. If I replace the CharacterController Line to

 

playerEntity->SetPhysicsMode(Entity::CharacterPhysics);

 

I do get a collision cylinder, but I don't think that's the right way.

 

Any pointers would be great! (excuse the pun =) ).

I didn't know there was a character controller available yet. Did you find a documentation page of it?

Maybe that's why I got stuck as well. I couldn't find a page of it either.

All entities can be either a rigid body or a character controller now. See the physics commands in the entity class.
