SketchyPhysics 4?

phy

I haven't had that much trouble with it being slow it acts just like the previous one.

I think I had the idea before but I am not sure. The hard part was the plumbing around it.

$curEvalGroup isnt used anymore. Instead just use "group".

The code in the old scripting thread is obsolete. Here is almost the same thing:

onstart{
   group.hidden=true
   @unhideAtEnd=true
   solid=false
}
ontouch{|toucher,speed,pos|
   if(toucher.name=="sphere")
      group.hidden=false
      solid=true
   end
}

I dont know any reason this version would be slower than the last.

Chris, shouldn't the scripting window have error checking? It lets me stick any old junk into it, tries to run it, and breaks the model forever. Basically, it's trial and error, making a new model every time my code's wrong

CPhillips

It will eventually. Right now this is just a work in progress release.

Unless you get into a loop you should be able to reset and get back to the start no matter what errors.

If you do find a piece of script that permanently breaks a model post it here.

CPhillips

Ah, I think I see the problem with bad scripts "breaking" the model. I'll fix it.

Hitting reset or a bunch of undo's might allow you to get back to start.

Well, when it comes to big models where a line-less and shaded-only style has to be used, it is terrible compared to the current. I know for sure because I was playing with a fast battleship game, which slowed down to about a frame PER second once I downloaded the latest version.

Thanks Chris
It happens with anything except perfect script

I don't have the slowdown problem, that's wierd...

Physicsguy1

I'll try again.

CPhillips

If you open the ruby console it will print performance statistics after each run. If you find a model that is much slower post a link and I'll take a looks.

I've downloaded the June 25 version and I noticed a little "error". When you hit the press button there's a quote ( " ) in the SketchyPhysics Control Panel

CPhillips

Thanks. I fixed it.
