gm_queryphys

This module is a way of getting the vertexes of a physics object.

Functions

-- Returns the number of convexs.
PhysObj:GetConvexCount()

-- Returns a table of triangles.
PhysObj:GetConvexMesh(convexIndex)

-- Rebuilds a PhysObj with the provided convexes.
PhysObj:RebuildFromConvexs(position, angle, mass, damping, rotDamping, inertia, rotInertiaLimit, convexes)

Awesome!!!

[Tobba]

Fucking awsome! now i can complete my bullet physics in source project!    or probbably not...   

[maurits150]

Fucking epic!

[Grocel]

Will this get shipped with gmod?
You posted about it in the gmod update threat.

[CapsAdmin]

You can use this with entity:PhysicsFromMesh(table) ?

[haza55]

Should work.

Edited:

I think as long as the object doesn't already have a physics object, you should be fine.

Hey, I tried to use the phys:GetConvexCount() but crashed with the reason "Lua Error Dump!". Here is my code...

local physmeta = FindMetaTable( "PhysObj" )
		
if physmeta and physmeta.GetConvexMesh and physmeta.GetConvexCount then
    local phys = ent:GetPhysicsObject()
		
    if IsValid( phys ) then
        local count = phys:GetConvexCount()
        print( count )
    end
end

[haza55]

Well I hit a roadblock. The triangle's vertices are not coming out in the correct order. Thus the collision model's planes all have incorrect normals. And there is nothing I can really do about it...

Edit: Hurrr, Fixed. I'm a retard.

Edited:

Well I have a permanent weld tool working.

Me likey!:buddy:

Edited:

When Using :GetConvexMesh(0) on the head bone of humans (10) you get this error

attempt to index a nil value

[dvondrake]

Any plans for a Linux binary?

[tomato3017]

Is clientside prediction going to be written?

[Mooee]

I'm sorry, but my lack of knowlege (when it comes to modules) forces me to ask: where's the proper place to put these files?

[haza55]

place the .dll into garrysmod/garrysmod/lua/includes/modules/

Clientside is coming.

[Kung Fu Jew]

Say I throw this on my server. All clients reap the benefits while on it?

e.g. this tool will work without each client having to get it: http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=101535

[Tobba]

Yes, but probbably there will be messed up prediction etc

[Mooee]

1. Thank you very much, I now know how to install the physics module as well.
2. Damn you norton! (It just deleted the file because it deamed unsafe.)

Well there's your problem

I have Norten Internet Security 2010 and it doesn't say it's unsafe, it's an error in your Internet Security. ;)

[bobthe2lol]

Wow these people with norton. Its the most bloated, worst antivirus sofware ever. Use avast or nod32 or w/e

[Tobba]

Norton? I stopped using that when it removed both shell32.dll and hal.dll becuse they was "unsafe"

[Ldesu]

A friend of mine had Norton and he switched anti virus when Norton told him explorer.exe was a virus

[aleksandervii]

Where do i put the files? I mean all of them...

Sounds like he was infected with a rootkit

No, it sounds like a virus replaced explorer with its own version.
Norton can't detect rootkits for shit.

You should only download one file, the windows binary (dll) and you should put it in lua/includes/modules

[Bletotum]

Lets not take this thread in the direction of antivirus wars, take it to this link instead. Also read it's OP, useful.

Really nice work!
Is it possible to implement a function to clip single bones? It would be really useful for goremods and such. :V

[Robbis_1]

This is great, but does anybody have a clue why it always crashes for me?
I tried something so simple like getting the convexes and then setting them again, but it crashes. And I'm trying it on props.

	local ent = Ply:GetEyeTrace().Entity
	local physObj = ent:GetPhysicsObject()
	
	physObj:EnableCollisions(false) -- I thought it was going to prevent the crash, but apparently not
	local convexes = physObj:GetConvexMesh(0)
	physObj:RebuildFromConvexs(physObj:GetPos(), physObj:GetAngle(), physObj:GetMass(), physObj:GetDamping(), physObj:GetRotDamping(), 1, 1, convexes)
	physObj:EnableCollisions(true)

[haza55]

local ent = Ply:GetEyeTrace().Entity  
local physObj = ent:GetPhysicsObject()  
  
physObj:EnableCollisions(false) -- I thought it was going to prevent the crash, but apparently not

local convexes = physObj:GetConvexMesh(0)

physObj:RebuildFromConvexs(physObj:GetPos(), physObj:GetAngle(), physObj:GetMass(), physObj:GetDamping(), physObj:GetRotDamping(), 1, 1, {convexes})

physObj = ent:GetPhysicsObject()
physObj:EnableCollisions(true)  

[Robbis_1]

Aah, the previous physobject becomes invalid so I need to fetch the new one I just created... And the convex table is a table of convexes for each bone. Thanks a lot, it works now!

[haza55]

No, bones are more than one PhysObj

A PhysObj can have more than one Convex, Each Convex is literally a convex shape made up of triangles. To make something concave, you need to use more than one convex.

[Robbis_1]

Ah, that's making more sense.

Edited:

Any idea what's causing the "slidyness" when you try to jump on it as a player? It works fine for props vs props, but player vs props is weird. This is in SP, but maybe it's related to prediction in some way?

That the reason why Haza is working on a client-side part of this module.

[Zenreon117]

how do I install this?

[MegaDeath]

Best module ever, Garry needs to incorporate this like he did Jinto's code :D

[nemomurder22]

How do we install this? There are multiple files and no info.txt so... Maybe Steam>Steamapps>garrysmod folder 1?
