So, SP 3.2 is just a "stop gap" measure?

Hi again.

I am currently working on my latest project- a sketchyphysics ICBM. I am not releasing it on 3DWH, but it will be released here in stages. Rather amateur-ish (as far as meshes are concerned, i am a n00b), but will be improved later on. (Hopefully!) Includes:

Crash damage
[primitive] Flame effect
Destroyable (disappearing) second stage

Anyway, some screenies:

TODOS:

Explosions
Smoke when the rocket is damaged
Bomb explosions
Sounds
New mesh
Better second stage damage (With the split scripted field command in the 2nd stage, it lagged too much, so I used the destroy function)
Better launchpad.
Guidance/targeting.(Looks grim, I might need help for this part)

Crappy at the moment, hope to make a new mesh.

UPDATE:
Added a new mesh and nose top (a space capsule!).

NOTE: The capsule doesn't have the crash debris function as the warhead does. (It is a MANNED capsule, after all)

Hi.

I was browsing the Sketchyphysics wiki, and I noticed that the info there is SEVERELY out of date. There was NO mention of SP 3.1/3.2 or new features. Is anyone willing to update or is the wiki being closed and/or ported? I think it is abandoned.

Just a little SP annoyance: When trying to attach a gun to a plane whose wings are a component, the gun doesn't attach. Could an expert help? This problem is rather annoying, as i can't get the gun to stick.

Thanks!

BTW i can use a scripted field, i just had rc1 until 3.1.

Well I am using a FPS game based on Wacov's FPS rig. I want to add a large lookAt plane, but without warning, all of a sudden, there is this worrying large clipping plane! I want someone to help me to be able to get rid of it.

PS: It only happens when the lookAt in the plane sets off.

Hey!
If you dowload SketchyPhysics 3.1 http://sketchyphysics.googlecode.com/files/SetupSketchyPhysics3.1-Sep27.exe that CPhillips released a few days ago at this forum, http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=31262&start=0.

Then you can use this script in an objects script-field:

> ontick{
>    camera.set(camera.eye,transformation.origin,[0,0,1])
> }
> 

This will follow the object that you need.
/hpnisse (script is from CPhilips, that created SketchyPhysics 3.1)

It tracks an object, not follows it. I need the object to always be followed from overhead and the code to be ontick compatible, not scripted compatible.

UPDATE: I HAVE DOWNLOADED SP3.1.

I need to make the camera follow a ball for a simple game. But i don't know how to code the object so that it will. Could someone please help me?

We don't want the clipping plane. It is stupid and distracting. Please provide an option to disable it!

Well this sucks. I finally managed to find a model that would crash SU8 and not SU7. But it is crashing deep in the physics engine and I have no way to debug it.

At least this crash is not in the Ruby differences. It may be a bug in SU8 or it maybe a bug in the physics engine. Either way I don't see how I can fix it.

This model always crashes SU8. If it doesn't crash your SU8 could you let me know.

It doesn't crash my system. I am now using SU8 but it works fine. Maybe you should try a virus scan.
