[Solved] Stop at once :)

[Roland]

Hi .. a simple question.

 

I have my character driven by a TContoller. Everything works as it should but there is one thing that I cant seem to fix. When stopping after have been walking (the move parameter to UpdateController is set to 0), my character does not stop at once, but continues sliding forward a little bit like she walks on ice.

 

 

// _height = 1.7
// _modelPos is the postion of my character model

TController _controller = CreateController( _height );
PositionEntity(_controller, modelPos );
SetBodyMass(_controller, 60);
SetBodyGravityMode(_controller, 1 );

 

// _walker.GetWalkSpeed() gives a speed factor
// _jumpHeight is a scale factor
// _rotY is amount of rotation around Y

float move = static_cast<float>(KeyDown( BackKey ) - KeyDown( ForwardKey )) * _walker.GetWalkSpeed();
float strafe = static_cast<float>(KeyDown( RightKey ) - KeyDown( LeftKey ));
float jump = static_cast<float>(KeyHit(JumpKey))*_jumpHeight;
UpdateController( _controller,
 _rotY*timeFactor,
 move*timeFactor,  // contiues to move a bit event with move=0
 strafe,
 jump,
5,
  10,
0 );

RotateEntity( _model, EntityRotation(_controller ) );
PositionEntity( _model, EntityPosition(_controller) );

 

I have tested with various body parameters like increasing the friction, but with no effect.

 

Any idea?

increase the value of the maxacceleration parameter from 5 to something like 100 to 500... increase/decrease until you get something you like...

Thanks mac..

 

That did the trick. Though I had tested everything..but apparently I had not
