Stepper?

hello
I don't realy understand how the stepper work.
Can somebody explain me?What is the steplistner,will he step automaticaly or do i need to step manualy,when will he step,...
I have read ODE manual,but i didn't understand at all what the stepper do.

PS:you should write some tutorial,it is very hard to start with only 3 demos,and many poeple use nxOgre because he is better documented than OgreOde.

StepHandler derives from Ogre::FrameListener, by calling:

_stepper->setAutomatic(OgreOde::StepHandler::AutoMode_PostFrame,root);

OgreOde will register the instance as a another framelistener in Ogre's root:

void StepHandler::setAutomatic(StepHandler::AutoMode mode, Root* root)
{
....
_root->addFrameListener(this);
....
}


so you dont have to manually call the step and synchronise methods, those are the tasks that OgreOde Stepper do

I have read ODE manual,but i didn't understand at all what the stepper do.

I doubt that ODE manual will ever mention OgreOde stepper OgreOde is just a wrapper to ODE, and since there is no OgreOde manual, the only documentation is the code

there is 3 demos, but if you see simplescenes it has 6 totally different tutorials inside.

OgreOde doesn't have many documents, but i beleive the code is pretty simple to understand, mostly because ODE calls are so well hidden that you dont either have to understand how ODE works.

thank a lot,i understand much better now.

I was speaking of ODE stepper(worldquickstep).
But is the stepper doing a quickstepp or a normal one?

I was speaking of ODE stepper(worldquickstep).
sorry i misunderstood the post....

See the constructor, the second parameter is the 'StepModeType'.
For example the ForwardFixedStepHandler uses worldquickstep by default.

Ok thank.
But for tutorial,it would be largely faster to learn OgreOde if there were tutorial like Ogre one's.So i am trying to make some small tutorial in french,but i need to understand well how OgreOde work.
