PG based on doc example: Babylon.js Playground Babylon.js playground is a live editor for Babylon.js WebGL and WebGPU 3D scenes In the console I am outputting frame count number and if controller is considered as supported. So what is happening on the playg…

Yeah, this is expected, due to the way the character is written. For posterity, here’s an explanation of what’s happening. First of all, important to note that the character is completely decoupled from the physics step. The playground is using onAfterPhysicsObservable(), but the character could be …

Hi @Eshku Welcome to the forum! First frame is on_ground, second is start_jump. Next state of on_ground is start_jump and next state of start_jump is in_air. console.log in getNextState will log the state transition.

You are describing what getNextState returns, not controller as part of a library. in_air \ wants to jump - is just workaround the fact that player is “Supported” for 2 frames instead of 1 - initial frame before moving controller. I am trying to figure out why we have to do that - is there somethi…

Holy crap… When did we get a Havok Character Controller ? BABYLON.PhysicsCharacterController Yo @Cedric … Is there Havok Vehicles Yet ?

Changed title to PhysicsCharacterController.

Since last December, just before Christmas :smiley: Physics character controller No planned vehicle yet. Maybe for Babylon 9 ?

I like this havok vehicle controller quite a lot even if not official ^^ [image] PhysicsV2 Car Simulation Template teacherTutorials and tips Hi All, I’ve created a car simulation example with Havok/PhysicsV2 that I think would be a great starting point for an…

frame 0 State is on_ground, user presses space, wantJump = true frame 1 physics tick State is on_ground, state START_JUMP, up vector added to desiredLinearVelocity For frames 0 or 1, velocity has not changer, nor position so support is still on. Basically log happens before any change and phys…

Same here. This PG is a good intro to more complex car physics model.

Yea, you are right, on this PG we are setting velocity only after physics observable. I might setup better example at some point based on what I’m doing in my actual project thing, I have same result when setting velocity on the same frame \ update cycle. I get all data - input velocity , impulse …

Take care of before/after physics ticks. I think you can get a clear picture with console.log. If there is a sync issue or latency in the controller, it will be easier to track with complete sequence.
