2-09-2015 - UPDATE: The code provided below is now functional with the use of setLinearVelocity(). If you were facing similar issues, this updated code may help you. Find the original question with the corrected code below...
A player object has been developed containing a Physijs.BoxMesh. Currently, the perspective is third person for troubleshooting visibility, and the player can rotate the camera view and move in various directions. While rotation works seamlessly, I am encountering difficulties with mesh movement using setLinearVelocity().
Upon inspecting the velocity update through console.log(...getLinearVelocity), it seems to be updating correctly. Where might I be going wrong?
Player.js
function Player() {
// Body Mesh creation
this.bodyMesh = new Physijs.BoxMesh(
new THREE.BoxGeometry(25, 25, 25),
new Physijs.createMaterial(new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial({ color: 0xff0000 }), 1, .1),
1
);
this.camera;
// Default properties
this.fly = false;
this.cameraHeight = 40;
this.maxHealth = 100;
// Other properties omitted for brevity...
}
// Various functions defined for Player.prototype
Player.SPEED = 5;
Player.RADIUS = 20;
// Main game loop, animation setup, and other configurations follow...
Main.js
Physijs.scripts.worker = 'js/lib/physijs_worker.js';
Physijs.scripts.ammo = 'ammo.js';
// GLOBALS, SETUP, ANIMATION LOOPS, INPUT HANDLING are further extended...
