MSPhysics 1.0.3 (16 October 2017)

PituPhysics · 30 Mar 2016, 14:59

Could you please explain me how?
For example, if i place a servo joint connected to an object, what should I do to move that object in play mode?

Write this codes into Joint / "Controller":


rightx         Left - right arrows
righty         Up - down arrows

leftx          A - D
lefty          W - S

key('1')       0-9
key('a')       A-Z keys
key('enter')   All the Windows function keys. (lctrl, rctrl, space, backspace, etc...)
key('numpad1') 0-9 Right numpad keys
key('+')       Numpad operations (+, -, *, /)

key('lbutton') Mouse keys (mbutton, rbutton, xbutton1, xbutton2)

get_var('variable')   ... for script.

Sorry but for me is really unclear.
What should i have to write?
Controller field is a single line field.
So eventually i can insert only a row of what you have write above.
I paste "rightx Left - right arrows" in the controller field, press the play button and press left and right arrow but nothing happen.
Of course is my fault.
But could you gave mme an example step by step of using a piston joint?

I made an test model: piston test.skp

Succeeded solve?

Very good example and important notes above. It works.

Great news, Anton. Short question: I want this Topic not bloat with simple examples and tests. Should I better open a new topic as entitled "MSPhysics examples and tests"?

Yes, I can see that you already did. However because there aren't many tutorials on how to use MSPhysics and because its generally not done, the topic could be quite empty for a while, but don't worry once the project is done, I'm gonna help you fill it in.

@pituphysics said:

In the MSPhysics at present there is no "Controller Panel".
Anton is likely to put into it as well. For the time being, you can control the keyboard.

Yep, I'm planning to put in all the feature of SketchyPhysics and more.

Thanks PituPhysics, now I can move my objects.
Still some doubts about parameters (like controller and min-max position)
But it start to be clearer

Announcing 0.6.0. See change-log here: http://www.rubydoc.info/github/AntonSynytsia/MSPhysics/file/CHANGELOG.md

faust07 · 11 Apr 2016, 17:09

Usefully new options, functions and joints!
What is meant with the Sliders Control Panel? A control panel for the slider joint in MSPhysics UI or a Joint Controller Panel with slider input similar to SP (couldn't find it...)?

Anton_S · 12 Apr 2016, 00:25

Faust, the control panel displays only when necessary, that is when there are actually slider controllers. The control panel will display in the lower-right corner when simulation is started. Here is an example that uses a slider controllers.

Arrow keys to drive and slider to raise suspension.

i know what i am gonna ask may be way too optimistic but can we have something similar to whats shown here? love the way u can paint over a couple of selected objects and just 'drop 'em'!

So many times I wished for a tool like that!

Super the new, transparent Control Panel.

Announcing 0.7.0: Change Log

Here is a little turret with particle effects.

turret.skp

faust07 · 18 Apr 2016, 17:04

Wow, what an update rate and what significant new features. Thanks!!! Let's test the best ... And another (shameless ...) request: Would it be possible to save the replay data with the model to call this stored simulation again in another session?

OMG it's very cool. And good the innovation on UI dialog.
I will try the "create_particle" function.

faust07 · 19 Apr 2016, 11:55

Example turret works under Windows 7, SU16 make very good. But immediate BugSplat under Windows 8.1, SU16 make (have to test more). Smoke and fire are not reproduced in Replay. And ... if the velocity is too low, the sun will never shine again ...
