Problem with Kinematic Body Translation

Hello,

I am loading a scene using OgreMax, and then loading an another object separately and then trying to translate the object. This Object is a Kinematic body and I am translating it using moveGlobalPosition() function.

But I am having problems here, say for e.g. I translate the body in +x direction for a certain distance, and then translate it back in -x direction, with 0(Zero) translation in both y and z axes, the body is not moving in a straight line, i.e. if I keep moving it back and forth it keeps moving in almost a diagonal direction.

What could be the reason here? Any idea.

I would really appreciate any bit of help. I hope I have explained my problem clearly.

I am doing something very similar to you. I move my kinematic actor with moveGlobalPosition() and i also move another Ogre object using sceneNode->translate() for a point of reference. My kinematic actors moves in the right direction and keeps perfectly inline with my Ogre only object although i do have quite a bit of jittering.

I am not sure how your kinematic actor could move in a diagonal! Assuming you have done something like OGRE3DKinematicBody->moveGlobalPosition(5,0,0).

What version of NxOgre are you using?

But perhaps your scene loaded from OgreMax isn't orientated correctly, so when it looks like it's going diagonal it is really going in the X+ direction.

Thanks al2950 and Betajaen for your replies.

Yes that is what I do, OGRE3DKinematicBody->moveGlobalPosition(Vec3). And that's what I am unable to understand as to why the translation is diagonal.

Any suggestions on how I reorient the OgreMax Scene?

I was able to get solve the translation issue, was some issue with the logic. Thanks for all the help
