Okay then it must be wine itself.

I've found that if you close Sketchup and re-open it, the problem goes away. Also, if you just keep the UI minimized instead of closing it, that helps.

Yeah. Think of each object in the simulation as a class and the onTick, onTouch, etc are the event "subs".

yeah start with like 96 edges at least. i think u need more bands of colour/lines maybe. good stuff

😲

Looking good keep up the good work keep posting

Great feel to this model.

Made the door window an area emitter and added a skybox..

EDIT: just for completeness given it way lying around on my desktop:

BTW, the group is called 'Group' and it's at the bottom of all objects names group.

Hey that looks a lot like my first few animation. I would always use a bunch of cubes and various shapes to try and get the camera and settings right. Looks good, keep posting the progress!

VirtualDub is also good at image to animation. It's free too.

No. Maybe use more than one emitter in the same location?

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

It looks like its a bit complicated so it wont be anytime soon. sorry. 😞

Thanks everyone, i used your help on this model

You can to that in SP3 with a bit of work. In onTick somwhere:

setVar("centerx",0.5+(key("h")?0.5;0.0)+(key("f")?-0.5;0.0)) > setVar("centery",0.5+(key("g")?0.5;0.0)+(key("t")?-0.5;0.0))

Then you can use this:

(0.5-getVar("centerx"))*5000

WOW, that is GOOD, THANKS A LOT!

Yeah, but depending on what you want, it could be done different ways.

my switch code, which I posted back in the toggle script discussion:

if frame==1 then setVar("1",0);elsif key("up")==1 then getSetVar("1",1);elsif key("down")==getVar("1") then getSetVar("1",0);end;

...just posted it here because it might be useful, isn't really what you're looking for though.

There isn't a terminal velocity. The longer something falls the faster it will go.

There is a tiny bit of resistance that keeps a object from moving forever in zero gee. I think it can be reduced to almost 0 but if it is too low the models apparently tend to be unstable.

I'll be happier than anyone if there's a simpler way, but the problem is detecting key presses as individual events. I believe that onButton/Key events will be added in the next version, or at least before SPIV; that'll make things a whole lot easier... but I'm more excited about the ability to detect what onTouch is hitting. For the next motorsketch, I'll (hopefully) be able to add AI opponents that follow routes through the track, attacking each other and the player, along with a lap counter!
