Hi,
I would like to simulate magnets, which are attached to rotatable objects for example. Can I make it with this version of Dark Physics ? thank you

The latest update (in your order history) has force fields. You can use them to create a magnet effect.

ok, but what about magnet poles ? I think, that I have to make two forces for object, first positive and second negative ? Is it true ? good idea ? or, is there better way ? Thank you


btw: there is no keywords, no help files... why is all so ***scamp ?

*** - Iam not english speaker, so, I dont know, what exactly scamp mean, I think, that scamp is, that someone is incompetent to complete things, which started.

It won't do poles. Force fields either attract or push things away. You would need to do some clever programming to create a magnet with poles, I think.

New commands:

phy create force field ID
phy delete force field ID

phy set force field rigid body ID, Object
phy set force field cloth scale ID, scale#
phy set force field constant ID, x#, y#, z#
phy set force field velocity target ID, x#, y#, z#
phy set force field coordinates ID, type
phy set force field linear falloff ID, x#, y#, z#
phy set force field quadratic falloff ID, x#, y#, z#
phy set force field noise ID, x#, y#, z#
phy set force field position ID, x#, y#, z#
phy set force field rigid body scale ID, scale#
phy set force field soft body scale ID, scale#
phy set force field torus radius ID, radius#

phy build force field ID

phy add force field box ID, mode, x#, y#, z#, sizex#, sizey#, sizez#
phy add force field sphere ID, mode, x#, y#, z#, radius#
phy add force field capsule ID, mode, x#, y#, z#, height#, radius#

integer = phy get force field exist ( ID )

BatVink : so, my idea with two force fields can be realized, I hope. Thank you for commands.

Technically the force fields represent a gravity force not a magnetic one. Magnets only affect iron based items so by definition you cannot simulate "real magnet"

hmm magnets are very interesting

here's a quick idea i had for the poles
i don't have dark physics so this is pseudo code

this would produce
N+N = 4
N+S = 0 (or is it 1?)
S+S = 4

hmm... not sure if I just made this more complicated

I would have thought you'd do it with a take away.

N=1
S=-1
ABS(N-S) = 2
ABS(N-N) = 0
ABS(S-N) = 2
ABS(S-S) = 0

That way, opposites attract.

JerBil : yes, great example, thank you, but what about 2 and more magnets ?

I don't know since a negative force in this case will repel a
positive object, instead of attracting, so it isn't so easy.
That is, in Dark Physics the force is acting on the object instead of the other force.
