How to update the position of specific physical characteristics mesh

[lvjing1111122]

question 1
physics V1 , PhysicsImpostor can update the positon，
but, I will report an error when using physics V1

Can it be that I am using HavokPhysics locally, which makes the PhysicsImpostor unusable

question 2
I should consider physics V2, but physics v2 not modified mesh position

Babylon.js Playground

    scene.onPointerDown = function (e, pick) {

        // update mesh position
        sphere.position.copyFrom(pick.ray.origin)
    }

i have a try, havok cannot use PhysicsImpostor`s function,
this is a sad story, how can i update the mesh postion

@lvjing1111122 Isn’t it similar to this topic?

Havok set position of physics body

When using cannon I was able to force a physics body to get a new position by setting the new position in cannon directly: constr newPosition = new Cannon.Vec3(x, y, z) myMesh.physicsImpostor.physicsBody.position = newPosition Is something like this possible with the new havok engine? It’s ab it difficult to figure this stuff out, since there seems to be not documentation available of the underlying engine?

Yes, this is the same issue
this is quite useful

Havok set position of physics body

You can set body.disablePreStep to false, change the position of the transformNode linked to the body, then set body.disablePreStep to true after the next frame has executed
