I'm trying to create a hinge joint for a spinner in my pinball app. I'm setting it up with this code


The hinge is the bar at the center and the spinner is the large square area.


UPDATE : It was jittering because i had an invisible plane on top (glass cover) to stop the ball from bouncing out of the game. Now it looks like it is hinged at the center of the object but i need it to be hinged along the bar.



What am i doing wrong here?

I added a small app that demonstrates the problem.

1. On the left you see a hinge joint at right angles. It works pretty good. This is pretty much what i want but i would have to figure out how to make it stand up straght

2. In the middle you see a model that has been rotated 45 degrees in my 3D proggy '

3. On the right you see the same model as #1 only rotated 45 degrees





I need the spinner to be 45 degrees. What am i doing wrong?

Hi BlinkOk

First of all i cant help with the problem here , but thought i would say i am watching with interest this project and the car racing one as well , liked the track u last posted , looking very mariokart ish ,
I have just reload AGK2 on my new PC and as its winter here have just started to muck about with the 3D command side of the program , may in time come up with a simple 3D game who knows.
But for the time being, keep up these two projects and wish you luck with both and glad you are tinkering around with AGK

Ok. Now i tried resting it in a grove which also doesn't work. the spinner just jumps around and falls off.
This is incredibly frustrating! This physics engine has fought me at every step, every single thing i try to do just doesn't work as expected.
Here are the shapes and attached is the project.

Even dropping a cylinder onto two bars fails.

Creates a hinge joint between object a and b. The rotationVec3 paramter should be an axis in the form (0,1,0) for vertical, (1,0,0) for horizontal along the X axis, (0,0,1) for horizontal along the Z axis, or any combination of these. The rotation vector does not need to be normalized. Returns a joint ID. "


This is Paul's fault he changed the hinge axis vector to this system. I originally had it using a degree vector which allowed for arbitrary rotations.
The coffee is lovely dark and deep,and I have code to write before I sleep.

Wait I think I figured it out, try this vector for hinge 2



Apparently it is a float between -1.0 and 1.0.

I did not see it in the demo you posted so not sure. From the picture it may not work
since currently AppGameKit does not handle concave objects for physics.

I was having similar issues with hinge joints, glad there Is a way! at of curiosity, how are you doing the custom collision geometry for your pinball table? is there commands for using the mesh as collision?

i think for all static meshes should be used SetObjectShapeStaticPolygon

Correct all static meshes need to be a static triangle mesh.
The command Create3DPhysicsStaticBody( objID ) automatically creates the physics object
with a static triangle mesh collision shape.

oh, my thoughts, tilt did not work with a static pinball table ...
