Thanks Metatron, I wasn't sure if this feature was supported out-of-the-box by LE. So is the terrain a child of a scene, or is it something else? If it's a child, then is it part of the terrain class?

Is there a way to change the detail of the terrain from an .sbx scene in Blitzmax? Thanx, Ace1024

Sorry, I am attaching the .bmx code that I was using. I apologize for the redundancy for a lot of the code, i just like to see it all when i try something new.

However, as all of the bodies of the ragdoll get connected, the ragdoll basically functions as one big body and the joints just seem to "glue" the bodies together.

Hi, I'm new to the community but i have been using leadwerks for a while. Anyway, how would you create ragdolls using Newton physics? The problem that I've been having is that when I attach bodies together with joints, the bodies still seem to move together unless a force (that isn't gravity) is applied to one of the bodies. Then, the body that the force is applied to rotates independently from the other body while still being connected.
