Scale

Greetings to all,
in advance I apologize for my bad English.

How can i scale the mesh of cube in step with process of scaling of a body in which one the beck is?
I shall be grateful, if you will instance how it can be made.

I'm not sure what you mean by beck but:

NxOgre uses the scale: 1 metre = 1 Ogre unit.

So if you have a cardboard box is 1 metre in size, and you want to SceneNode->scale(10.0f), then the shape would be cubeShape(10.0f).

Hope this helps.

Thank you for help, betajaen,

but when i do something about that:
body* myCube = mScene->createBody(
"myCube",
"cube.1m.mesh",
new cubeShape(1.0f),
10.0f,
Vector3(0, 0, 0));

myCube->mNode->scale( .1, .1, .5);
i get the box soaring above the ground:



So, the mesh of cube is scaled, but the shape is not scaled. And I don't understand how to make so that the actual physical shape of the body
was equal to the scaled mesh.

Alright, Find out what the original size of the mesh (which since your using my cube it's 1x1x1metres) so you do this:-


body* myCube = mScene->createBody(
"myCube",
"cube.1m.mesh",
new cubeShape(Vector3( 1 * .1, 1 * .1, 1 * .5)),
10.0f,
Vector3(0, 0, 0));

myCube->mNode->scale( .1, .1, .5);

I understood. But for me the main thing - how to scale already created shape. I mean not in 'createBody' function. The matter is that in my program the same box should accept various forms each time when I it shall want.

thanks a lot

Do you mean when a mesh that isn't 1x1x1m in size that isn't scaled?

I'm curious what is your natural language? Perhaps a lurker around here could help with a translation if your willing to speak that way?

What function in nxOgre can scale the the actual physical shape of the body?

NxOgre doesn't scale anything; You need to pass on the rough size of the mesh over when you create the body and you can't adjust the size of the body after it's been created.

An example:

You have a shipping container which the mesh is 24 metres long, 2 metres high and 3 metres in width. In NxOgre you use a cubeShape with a parameter of Vector3(24,2,3);

If you want to scale your contianer so it's double in size Node->scale(2,2,2)), You adjust the cubeShape as so:- Vector3(24 *2, 2*2,3*2)

Hello everybody, my first post on the forum. First off: thanks for all the effort gone into nxOgre. preview 4 looks great


If you want to scale your contianer so it's double in size Node->scale(2,2,2)), You adjust the cubeShape as so:- Vector3(24 *2, 2*2,3*2)

So, is this because physX does not scale?
And I am a bit confused what you are suggesting (if you are at all), are you suggesting creating a new cubeshape everytime a node scales?

In a sense yes; because PhysX or NxOgre don't know if you will scale the node or not.

However, you can remove and add shapes after a body has been created anyway so it isn't much of a major issue.
