Hello, I am going through some basic newton examples but am having trouble getting the body to update without setting the velocity myself. If anyone sees something I am doing wrong or has some input on helping I would appreciate it.

I set up a basic body and scene node:



World _NewtonWorld = new World();



SceneNode node = _SceneManager.RootSceneNode.CreateChildSceneNode();

Entity ent = _SceneManager.CreateEntity( "Juno" , "Juno.mesh" );

node.AttachObject( ent );

node.SetPosition( 0 , 0 , 0 );



float mass = 1000;

Collision col = new CollisionPrimitives.Capsule( _NewtonWorld , ent.BoundingRadius , ent.BoundingBox.Size.y );

Body nodebody = new Body( _NewtonWorld , col );

nodebody.SetMassMatrix( mass , MogreNewt.MomentOfInertia.CalcCylinderSolid( mass , ent.BoundingRadius , ent.BoundingBox.Size.y ) );

nodebody.AttachToNode( node );

nodebody.IsGravityEnabled = false; //gravity does nothing?

Then in my update loop, I do this:



Vector3 force = new Vector3( 0 , -98f , 0 ); //sim gravity force

force *= 1000;

nodebody.AddForce( force );



_NewtonWorld.Update( timeSinceLastUpdate );

The body does not seem to move at all. I try adding local and global force as well, with no results. I do not set any callbacks because there is nothing to collide with in the scene, are they required? When I call this, it sets the velocity and the body then moves a little.
nodebody.Velocity = new Vector3( -10f , 0 , 0 );

you have to use a forcecallback for your body if you want to add force to it. the functions related to adding force only work on a forcecallback.

for exemple in the setup function you will have



nodebody.ForceCallback += new ForceCallbackHandler(ForceCallbackfunc);

and the forcecallback function related



void ForceCallbackfunc(Body body)

{

         float mass; 

         Vector3 inertia; 



           body.GetMassMatrix(out mass,out inertia);



         Vector3 force = new Vector3( 0 , -200f , 0 ); 

          force *= mass;

          body.AddForce( force );

 }
