SetJointStiffness [SOLVED]

[Canardia]

Since the joints are always getting out of position, I thought the reason might be that the hardcoded joint stiffness in LE2 is way too low.

So, to try better joints, LE2 should have the following command:

void NewtonJointSetStiffness( const NewtonJoint* joint, dFloat stiffness)

I agree.

 

We need this to stop the joints from stretching then rope of different stretchiness, and many other things, would become possible. At the moment I have a wrecking ball that seems to be hanging of an elastic band .

It actually exists in the engine, I only tried to use the procedural command in Lua which doesn't exist.

Yes I know it exists..... But it doesn't seem to have an effect. I use it on my rope class but the joints still stretch

 

I use it as shown below but it doesn't seem to make a difference:

TJoint segJoint = CreateJointBall(ropeBodySegs[i-1], ropeBodySegs[i], Vec3(segPos.X, segPos.Y, segPos.Z+(segLength/2)), Vec3(0,0,0));
SetBallJointLimits(segJoint, 0,180,180); 
SetJointStiffness(segJoint,1);

This is marked as [sOLVED];

how did you solve it?
