Re: [hlcoders] Bouncing/NoClipping Physics Objects?

[Knifa]

I looked at the should freeze object code and it's
bool    ShouldFreezeObject( IPhysicsObject *pObject ) { return true; }

Return true all the time? Is it supposed to be like this?

I'll try to repro it here.  To be clear, I'm just pointing out that if
you experience these problems, it's most likely a bug.  It's not a
consequence of doing too much physics.  So try to find a way to
reproduce it or help debug it.  It probably won't go away because you
turn off some of the physics in your mod (i.e. I can't think of a reason
why it would) - that's probably just a waste of your time.

If you have this happen on your server locally, I'd be interested to see
the results of turning phys_timescale down to 0.1 and doing
physics_debug_entity on some of the prop_physics entities that are going
crazy.  I'd like to see the console dump of that; it may help figure out
what the problem is.

Ok Jay.

The reason I thought that was the problem was because when
HL2DM got first released and loads of people put up "crappy"
servers the symptoms that Knifa described was happening. But
when better servers got put up the problems disappeared.

Ok I have just had a quick look at steampowered's forums and
I found this intresting bit of information.

#20 Physical Mayhem

This seems to occur every now and again, however, with the
release of dm_steamlabs, it has occured much more than
before. This problem causes the physics of all objects to
completely mess up, respawning weapons fall through the
floor, throw grenades go through walls, objects and floors.
Objects seem to have a mind of their own as they bounce about
randomly.
Currently the only fix is to restart the server, as the
physics remain changed through map changes.

Uh.. what?

You can delate farter, and uninteresting.
And move to a simulated phisic, or not phisic at all. And avoid
swawning that much using a cycle for decor stuff. etc

HL2)

This usually happens because the server is processing to many
physics calculations and the server can't handle it.

And from what I can remember source forts is extremly

intensive

on the physics(well my forts are ;P)

Yea, they stick in for about half a second then bounce really
high, then they just go all over the place

I've seen this problem when there are 2 many physics
interactions going on for the server to handle.

Do physics objects seem to go into the ground for a bit then
pop back up?

Hi all.

While playing my mod, after a few minutes of play, physics
objects starting bouncing around and act like they

have no collisions.

Is this something to do with my mod or is it a

Source Engine bug?

Thanks
