[Opensim-users] Turning gravity on for one object [ Was: Phantom and Physical Prim (to Mantis or not) ]

[drwhiet at spacefriends.de]

Hi,

as Mike pointed out it is true that flexi prims can not be physical even in
SL .. BUT
for phantom prims it still must be possible to set them physical. Therefore
i have just
added following Mantis on this issue:
http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=5487

I also crosspost this to Opensim-Dev to get some GridGod/Developer attention
.. Please
PhysixxsGod(s) help us on this issue .. 

Best regards,
and thank you Mike for clarifing (and Simon for asking and pushing me to
file that Mantis)

I've already replied to a seperate message about this.  Flexi's are client
side while physics (such as it is in OpenSIM) is managed in the simulator.
This is consistent with SL which operates the same way. And as long as we're
dependant on an SL viewer I expect it will stay that way.  

The Lightsource prim attribute works because its not tied into physics in
any way. A physical object can still give off light.

Umm, this is completely consistent with SL.  A flexible object is always
phantom and cannot be physical. Flexies are managed by the client whereas
physical prims are managed in the simulator.   

If you creat a prim in SL and click on flexible path then it will be made
phantom and physical is grey-ed out.  

It might be nice to have a combination like this but I think its outside the
scope of whats possible with SL compatible viewers.

That was it.  Thanks.  Also, if you do set them to be flexible it
automatically makes them phantom.  Weird.

Hi,

if you are talking about making objects physical, i have (bad news) for you.
I ran into the same issue.

Currently physical objects in Opensim CAN NOT BE PHANTOM or FLEXIBLE

I have talked about this issue with JustinCC and, as this behaviour is
different to SL, he suggest, i could/should file a MANTIS on this.

The 'flexible part' was just discovered by me some nights ago so i have not
yet file a MANTIS , but i will do it withing the next hours (when i return
home from work)

There are a lot of situations where you need a object to be phantom or
flexible AND physical. In my case my tentacle creatures have to be moved by
a movetotarget script as it looks much better than the llSetpos function.
Also if physical objects hit each other the movetotarget stops working as it
can not 'make its way' through non phantom objects around the region.

i will reply to this post when i filed the MANTIS, and please let me know if
you where talking about physical objects by saying "i want gravity to effect
it"

best regards
