Hi,

I want to create a (cloth) flag that is attached to an capsule (flagpole) like the one shown in the tutorial 1002 ageia physx training program.

I am faced with 2 problems. One is that the flag doesn't seems to attach to the flagpole.

Second is that the pole react to the flag and fall to the ground.

here's the code.



	NxOgre::Actor* flagPole = scene_->createActor("flagPole", new NxOgre::CapsuleShape(0.2, 12), NxOgre::Pose(0, -0.2, 0), "density: 0");

	NxOgre::ClothParams cp;

	cp.setToDefault();

	cp.thickness = 0.2;

	cp.bendingStiffness = 0.5;

	cp.friction = 0.25;

	cp.flags |= NX_CLF_BENDING;

	cp.flags |= NX_CLF_COLLISION_TWOWAY;

	cp.flags |= NX_CLF_HARDWARE;

	cp.meshMaterial = "nx.flag";

	cp.width = 8;

	cp.height = 8;

	cp.density = 0.15;



	NxOgre::Cloth* flag = scene_->createCloth("flag", NxOgre::Pose(Ogre::Vector3(0, 4, 0), Ogre::Quaternion(Ogre::Radian(-NxHalfPiF32), Ogre::Vector3::UNIT_X)), cp);

	flag->attachToShape(*(flagPole->getNxActor()->getShapes()), NX_CLOTH_ATTACHMENT_TWOWAY);

I want the flag to be attached to the pole but I don't want the flag to react to the pole till it got pushed down to the ground.

Edited: There is no bug in the above code. The only problem with the above code is that I need to make sure that the pole had to be static.
