Thread: gravity: jittery camera.

hmm, so in pseudo code:

Code:

getcurrentpos();
gettimebetweencurrentposandthecollisionpoint();
if(raydosn'tend)
   keepgoing();
else
   collide();

I get what you're saying, but i'm still a little shaky on implementation.

The concept of how to do this isn't *that* hard to comprehend and implementing it is only a bit harder. Personally, I'd just ignore bubba because he often doesn't make sense. He knows what he's talking about, I'll give him that, just nobody else does.

In psuedocode, if you're colliding against polygons:

-Set a 'closest time' or 'smallest fration' variable to 1.0f, this will be your closest time of intersection.

-For every polygon, find the time where the movement (defined by a start point and end point) intersects the polygon's plane, store the time of intersection (which will be a number between 0 and 1). If the time of intersection is not smaller than the 'closest time'/'smallest fraction' variable, continue to the next polygon, else:
-If the movement intersects the plane, determine if the point of intersection
-Determine if the point of intersection lays inside the triangle
-Store the time of intersection in your closest time variable

I outlined the math for every step of this, including how to find the point where a ray defined by two vectors intersects a plane and if that point lays inside the region of a triangle. I will repost it here ifyou want.

hmm, ok, I think I have enough information to get this to work. i'll post again if I have any more trouble.

mm, no actually, its just you that can't seem comprehend bubbas posts
