Re: Wipeout games PHYSICS
AI was never fully realized in Slipstream. We've got bots, but we ran out of time and couldn't get the nice code working. Physics should be a fairly high priority, until you've got a basics of EVERYTHING sorted. Adding in AI functionality in segments at the same time as the physics segments comes online is bad. For… -
Re: Wipeout games PHYSICS
Very good point with down angled walls I will try that as soon as I'm home from work. My wall colliders right now cause ship to flip or catapult it away from track [they are vertical so wtf?! this puzzles me]. I'm using "smooth sphere collisions ON" on my invisible colliders to help along. They are separated from track… -
Re: Wipeout games PHYSICS
While this thread is quite old now I just want to give my findings on physics like Wipeout just in case anyone else in the future wants a place to start. This all comes from my experience with developing my own Wipeout game (AGR2280) and implies you already have a game engine to work from (Unity, UE4, etc) and a bit of… -
Re: Wipeout games PHYSICS
Yep, form me to work I must separate colliders for raycasting to "walls" and "road" to not flip over vehicle at moment when its very close to one side of the road.. With 4 raycasts in the corner it have tendency to flip cause my code it is still not optimized to detect this and react "correctly" in this situation. I'm… -
Re: Wipeout games PHYSICS
Physics are still a bit of a dark art. Black magic, etc. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than when you look through the physics of a racing game. Up to a point, it pays to be clean, but ONLY when you know what you're doing and have experience to draw upon, either your own or somebody with a… -
Re: Wipeout games PHYSICS
Having worked on the physics for a racing game over the past 18 months, I think I've got a good idea how they did it. Raycasting, from a single point around the nose of the ship, VERY high frequency (minimum 50-60Hz, better off with a single cast going for 100 if you can). Smooth Sphere Collisions is an option in Unity…
