Physics problem?

[cassius]

I have an enemy character who follows my main character around.When at ground level it works fine but when my main character goes up a step into a room the enemies characters feet are buried in the floor and still at ground level. I am using a pivot as its controller.

 

bg_control = Pivot::Create();

bg_control->SetMass(90);

bg_control->SetPhysicsMode(Entity::CharacterPhysics);

bg_control->SetPosition(17.5,1.9,8.0);

 

badguy->SetParent(bg_control,false);

badguy->Move(0,1.4,0);

The room physics must be ok or the main character would be affected.

 

Anyone help? Thanks

 

EDIT:The enemy character is parented to the pivot,

I am assuming that characters NEED controllers in Leadwerks 3.Is that correct?

If you want to make use of the navmesh or setInput commands, than yes, you have to use character controllers.

Does there have to be a SetInput command with each enemy character as with updatecontroler in le2

[AggrorJorn]

No, just for characters that move based on your keyboard input.

 

CharacterControllers that use GoToPoint() or Follow() don't need to use this

It looks like the Follow command causes the problem. It probably needs to be used in conjunction with other commands. Leaving it out makes the character pjysics work properly.
