Character Sinks into Scene [Solved]

Troubleshooting physics
1

Hi, all. I know this has been a problem for awhile, but I don’t know if there have been any fixes (I didn’t need to bother with it until now)… So, as the title says, my object sinks into the scene http://imgur.com/kJT2w.png



My code:

[java]private void createTerrain() {





terrain = (Node) assetManager.loadModel(“Scenes/mapandclimbmeshh.j3o”);

terrain.setLocalTranslation(new Vector3f(-150,0,0));

terrain.setLocalRotation(PITCH090);

terrain.scale(2);

terrainPhysicsNode = new RigidBodyControl(CollisionShapeFactory.createMeshShape(terrain), 0);



terrain.addControl(terrainPhysicsNode);



//terrain.setShadowMode(ShadowMode.Receive);

rootNode.attachChild(terrain);

getPhysicsSpace().add(terrainPhysicsNode);

}



private void createCharacter() {

Box b = new Box(Vector3f.ZERO, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f);

Geometry geom = new Geometry(“Box”, b);

geom.setLocalTranslation(0, 0, 3);

Material mat = new Material(assetManager, “Common/MatDefs/Misc/Unshaded.j3md”);

mat.setTexture(“ColorMap”, assetManager.loadTexture(“Textures/BrickWall.jpg”));

geom.setMaterial(mat);





CapsuleCollisionShape capsule = new CapsuleCollisionShape(3f, 4f);

character = new CharacterControl(capsule, 0.01f);

model = (Node) assetManager.loadModel(“Models/Oto.mesh.xml”);

model.attachChild(geom);

//model.setLocalScale(0.5f);

model.addControl(character);

//model.setShadowMode(ShadowMode.CastAndReceive);

character.setPhysicsLocation(new Vector3f(-150, 65, -10));

character.setJumpSpeed(35);

rootNode.attachChild(model);

getPhysicsSpace().add(character);

getPhysicsSpace().enableDebug(assetManager);

}[/java]



What did I do wrong this time :wink:

maybe your triangles are too big, and that mass looks pretty small, increase it and see what happens

Sweet, that worked! And now I feel like a total noob >.< lol… Thanks!

Uh, there is no mass in that code except the mass for the terrain, which correctly is 0 :?

Gah, I keep forgetting that’s not mass, it’s stepHeight!!!(I thought wezrule was referring to the number variable in the CharacterControl creation part… Which I increased to 1, and it now works)… Well, whatever it was, it works now (however, raising that number seems to have the same result as increasing the mass).

yeh I mean’t step height
