[Solved] Controller moving randomly

My character is moved randomly as seen in the video.
There is not much special about the code

I load my scene which contains the door, firepit and terrain using LoadScene

LoadScene( "abstract::testlevel.sbx" );

I load my character model using LoadModel

TModel _model = LoadModel( "abstract::celly.gmf" ) ;

I create a contoller
[code]
// _height is 1.7
// _modelPos is position of the character loaded
// CollisionType::Prop is 1
TController _controller = CreateController( _height );
PositionEntity(_controller, modelPos );
SetBodyMass(_controller, 1);
SetBodyGravityMode(_controller, 1 );
EntityType(_controller, CollisionType::Prop);

In my main loop i call update on controller
Note.. I do not force any movement at all in the UpdateController
I do not have any code that could move the character or controller at all.

// _mode is the character model loaded
UpdateController( _controller );

RotateEntity( _model, EntityRotation(_controller ) );
PositionEntity( _model, EntityPosition(_controller) );

Cant find out why the model is moving around by it self.
Have done this before in other test snippets without problems
but now this happens. Any hints?

I have done this before without any problems. It was when rewriting my code-lib which I lost (see my blog) this occurred. So I'm doing something weird dumb this time. Just cant find out what. I commented out all code that could move the character in any possible way, bit still she moves.

..can you see controller moving with debug physics enabled ??.. also, have you try to swap positions of

UpdateController( _controller );

 

and

 

RotateEntity( _model, EntityRotation(_controller ) );

PositionEntity( _model, EntityPosition(_controller) );

 

in your main loop ?Is it controller parented to anything ?

Random movement occurs when 2 physics bodies are parented, and they are colliding with eachother. The solution is the make the 2 bodies of different collisiontype, for example 6 and 7. And course to make sure that type 6 and 7 are not setup with EntityCollisions to collide with eachother.

Yes Meta... That was the problem.

Naught.. you were also into the solution (Is it controller parented to anything ? )..

Thanks
