If you really don't know how to reach this effect then wait until there will be some hips. If you wanna do this task you must know for sure stuff like: data flow in DOPs. peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MADjestic 13 Report post Posted December 15, 2006 Oi, this challenge is flame-buoyant! It brings in so many aspects of DOPs usage that having it done is a kind of mini-exam in DOPs already. I am doing fine and can already make the objects stick to the ball, however I've got to make other objects stick to the whole group now. So, here are my questions: 1) is there a cheap way to check whether an object is glued to some object? 2)is there a way to predict whether an object will be torn away? Maybe check the accumulated impulse with the collision impulse strength? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smason 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2007 After about 8 hours (!!) i finally figured this one out, including how to get the sphere to accumulate other objects on top of ones it has already stuck to. the solution i came up uses a script solver to deal with the impact data and decide which object to glue something to. simply put, i'm storing the objects impact "otherobjid" field, so long as it isn't the ground plane (easy since that is ID 0 in my net), and then i'm setting the glue object field in an rbd state object with: `dopobjectlist($DOPNET, dopoption($DOPNET, $OBJID, "AuxImpacts", "firstImpactID"), 1)` where AuxImpacts and firstImpactID are my custom names. i tried using chops for this, but couldn't figure out how to preserve the data from the dynamics chop, as the impact data exists only for one frame. i suspect this might be possible, but i just don't know how to wrangle data in chops well enough yet. is there another way to do this? anyway, i learned a lot doing this challenge... thanks!
