Having problems moving Body; New to NxOgre, but not to Ogre

How should I move the body and the sceneNode?

I am under the assumption that translating the Body->getNode() will update the body in the simulation and the world.

Will the following move the body and the node?


Body->getNode()->translate(body->getNode()->getOrientation() * Vector3(0, 0, 1) * timePassed))


If I use the above code, the mesh moves around, but will not collide with anything.

I have been working with Ogre for a while now and had a fully running demo with it, but I wanted to add Physics and it just doesn't seem to be as straight forward as I thought it would be.

I am at an inpass. If someone has some code they wouldn't mind sharing, that would be awesome. I learn best by reading others code.


Any information, code snippets, etc... would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

You don't move the node, you move the body. If you move the node, NxOgre will move it back where it was.

Should I use Body->setGlobalPosition, Body->moveGlobalPosition, Body->moveTowards? Which is the best way to move the Body and move the associated SceneNode the Body contains? If you could give an example, it would be much appreciated.

You move it around like you move things in reality - you add forces. You can use setGlobalPosition/Orientation if you wish, but only for big jumps or initial placement.
