In Response To: Re: Could someone explain to me.. (uberfoop)


: Then why did you take issue with people's suggestions that the
: "physics" might change? Were you intentionally
: prescriptivistishly misinterpreting them?

: This interpretive line you've drawn between engine and details is quite
: strange.

I was seeing it as a process versus attributes, that is, the same calculations being carried out (for thrust, gravity, air/water resistance, collision, and probably some others) with different numbers being put in, such as the mass of a player or the mass of a Warthog.

: Actually, sometimes it is. Plenty of physics implimentations even allow you
: to screw around with plenty such constants in real time, even for
: individual objects. You might not be modifying the engine itself, but
: those things you listed off can all be treated as, shall we say,
: softcoded. And then there's the fact that individual sorts of actions
: often have all sorts of weird quirks and forcings built into them that the
: physics engine doesn't know to do naturally.

I didn't know that. It makes some sense for player movement and grenades; is there much else its used for? I mean, regardless of the implementation and the objects and the actual speeds involves, I would still expect different objects to fall at the same rate.

You cannot fall off the floor.
