Character falling down

I set up a character (NxOgre::Character) but it seems to not obey the scene gravity, it falls down like 3 times less than the other objects.
(It's probably another stupid thing, but I don't have time to read about PhysX neither NxOgre righhtt now xD

Thanks in advance.

The Character's Actor is kinematic so gravity does not apply to it. So NxOgre "fakes" it for you. Obviously the formula is wrong.

It's found in, CharacterController::move(). But you can override the move formula of a character by sub-classing the CharacterMovementVectorController class in your code, pass on the instance to Character (myCharacter->setMovementVectorController(...)) and adjust "g" to your own settings.

Once I change the vectorController the character stops responding to the direction, when I move the char with 'W' it moves itself on the axis based on the world, not on himself. Let me know if you didn't understood what I tried to say =X

Hello. I am having excessive trouble making my character controller fall according to gravity (as in gravitational accelaration). I did all the CharacterMovementVectorController stuff, and implemented the "move" function, using the basic formula that betajaen offers in this thread (a few posts down) :

By looking at the formula, it's obvious that the character will fall at a constant speed (because g is plugged directly in there). I've tried to modify the equation so that it actually falls correctly (with an acceleration of g). I think the following formula should work, though I have not been getting the correct results:

NxVec3 grav = NxVec3(0, old_y, 0) + NxVec3(0, -9.8, 0) * Math::Abs(t - old_t);
out = (direction.rot(moveVector) * mySpeed) * t + grav;
old_t = t;
old_y = grav.y;

old_t and old_y just keep track of the previous frame's time and y-speed, respectively, so that I can calculate the appropriate change in y-speed for the current frame.

From my formula, you can probably tell that I am assuming the passed "t" is in seconds, and that it is the number of seconds since the character controller was created. For some reason, when I don't absolute value the change in time, it moves much more slowly than when i do... and in general, my formula results in a constant falling speed...

Is the move function supposed to calculate the resulting ABSOLUTE position, or the resulting DELTA position. Cuz if it's supposed to calculate the absolute position, i can see why my code doesn't work. Otherwise, I am stumped.

Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure it's Delta position. I haven't been in the Character Controller code for a while now, I'm working on something else which is top secret.

However, my formula is based upon the character controller tutorials that Ageia provide. Although they are demos, I wouldn't expect them to be totally accurate. What I wouldn't give to get my hands on the CellFactor or Unreal Engine 2007 source code right now.
