Some of you may have noticed that a new module is on its way from yours truly (following on from utillib & quatlib).

Just as a heads up and to hopefully garner some feedback on anything I've missed I'm attaching the module plus an example of it's use.

Oh and a video of the example in action.



Btw, these scripts will NOT work on GG as it stands (i.e. PP or latest Beta) as they rely on stuff only present in my current branch, iow on my dev machine!

Btw2, the physlib is by no means finished yet, I still have a lot of things to add to support picking up/carrying/stacking/throwing/pushing/pulling and anything else I might think up.

Chris ... without words --- it's absolutely amazing! Fascinating!!! Great job! Great congratulations for your spectacular growth in scripting! a big hug!

This is impressive and much needed, keep up this awesome work. I have the March PP and building a test level will post a video here soon of your physics in a new level.

AmenMoses, again you have out done yourself.
Now all we need is a pair of animated hands that can punch this bag and throw around all these things you have made possible for us to throw around.

Animated hands are definitely in the modelling arena, not my forte at all unfortunately.

The tricky part there would be to detect where the force should be applied for a punch, i.e. we would need to be able to feed back the positions of the 'fists' of the model to Lua, and also the direction of travel, in order to then calculate and apply appropriate 'push' force to any entity at that location. The other way to do it would be to have the 'fists' be collision objects in their own right but that would open a whole nuther can of worms regarding the existing physics implementation.
