I have a physics object that I'm trying to retrieve its angular velocity in degrees/second. Using GetVelocity(Vector * velocity, AngularImpulse * angularVelocity), it appears that I can retrieve the angular impulse of the angular velocity. Getting this value, I multiply it by 180*pi to convert from radian to degrees, and then I divide by the object's mass.
However, I compare this to the actual change in degrees that the model undergoes, and the values are different. For example, if I use SetVelocity(...) to input an AngularImpulse of 100 for the x axis/pitch every frame, then convert to radians and divide by a mass of 2080, I get approximately 2.8. However, if I sample the actual change in degrees of the object's pitch every frame, it comes out to approximately 19 degrees/second. What am I doing wrong, and how can I correctly calculate an object's change in angle in degrees/sec? _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
