Maximum position object with a linear velocity

Post by aea_sparks »

Hello,

I have a straight road of 5km. I already have a cube that moves with a linear velocity of 90Km/h (Velocity implemented after the conveyor belt (very efficient) example).
The problem is that when the object arrives at the position x=1000m, it stops automatically, even if I put the object at x=1005m, it doesn't move.

Is it a problem with the parameter’s simulation? Or the limit position for any object is x/y/z = 1000m?

Regards.

Hello,

in order not to use too much computation power, dynamic objects/models are automatically disabled from dynamics simulation when they leave a predefined range. Think of robots falling off the simulation platform and falling, falling, falling... eventually they will reach a Z of -1000, and there stop falling (and stop using computation time).

You can adjust that range in installDirectory/system/usrset.txt, adjust the value dynamicActivityRange.

Cheers
