Physics with monogame runtime

Nnebulasleuth · 20 gen

I upgraded to the latest monogame runtime. I have a few special mods that I merge in dealing with loading files, but otherwise nothing else is changed from the release version.

Is there something I need to do other then pass "Physics.Update" to the Skeleton.UpdateWorldTransform?

I do not see any Physics in the animation in my Monogame App. The Skeleton Viewer properly displays the Physics elements, but not for my App. So either I missed something in the merge, or simply don't understand something.

To ensure that physics are applied correctly in your Monogame application, you need to make sure that you are correctly advancing the skeleton time and updating the world transform with physics. You should call Skeleton.update() to advance the skeleton time, and then use Skeleton.updateWorldTransform() with the appropriate physics settings. If you have merged custom modifications, double-check that these do not interfere with the physics update process. Additionally, ensure that your runtime version supports the physics features you are trying to use, as older versions may not have full support for physics.

Interesting that I was never calling Skeleton.Update() at all previously. I was calling animationState.Update() but not Skeleton. Is this new? Or was I always doing it wrong?

Skeleton update was there previously, but it had not been used until 4.2/physics.
