Newton Commands

[SpiderPig]

I would love to be able to use newton commands directly, such as NewtonWorldRayCast().

Is there a way to get the newton world from within Leadwerks?

You can see in the file "Leadwerks\Include\Classes\Drivers\Physics\NewtonDynamics\NewtonDynamicsPhysicsDriver.h", that the PhysicsDriver has a reference to the collisionWorld, which is a NewtonWorld pointer. You can get the current physics-driver from "_currentPhysicsDriver" but you need to cast it to a NewtonDynamicsPhysicsDriver, thus:

((NewtonDynamicsPhysicsDriver*)(_currentPhysicsDriver))->collisionWorld

should be the droid you're looking for. (I haven't tested this but I am fairly certain, this will work)

Awsome!  I spent ages looking through those files I'm surprised I missed it.  Thanks heaps!

Thought I'd update this here too, the above code doesn't get the correct newton world.  The code below does;

NewtonWorld* GetNewtonWorld()
{
	auto _world = World::GetCurrent();
	auto _simulation = (NewtonDynamicsSimulation*)_world->simulation;
	return _simulation->newtonworld;
}
