[View] Leviathan RagdollPhysics

[Snipergen]

Hi, i'm developping a 2D Shooter that's called Leviathan. I finished the ragdolls for it. So tell me what you think!

Controls: Click to focus and zqsd to hold bodyparts

Hey snipergen,

Nice prototype... i can certainly see the potential for some great shooting battles and intersting weaponary (thinking gravity gun)

You might want to sort out the elasticity on the upper body - the legs seem to stay together fine but the arms etc are easily seperated...

So much fun to throw around the character...

Looks good, the game should be awesome. Keep us informed

Thanks, I will

[Mike_cz]

very good

[jonmack]

That is really nice actually. I'd love to see it with multiple dolls, see how many it can handle at once. I especially like how the body comes to rest - it's very easy for these kinds of things to become unstable and start to "jiggle" around, but you seem to have made sure that does happen. Very impressed

How is this going to work within the Leviathan game? Will the ragdoll physics turn on upon death?

Are you/will you blog the developement process? random10122 and I are interested in linking to other flash game dev blogs that document the making of a game from scratch to finish. If you do decide to do that, please let one of us know, and we will share the links

Good luck with this project.

You need to use Inverse Kinetics - the joints don't stay together if you press S.

nice job very fun to play around with

You need a twinge more gravity. It's more like the moon at the moment.

Looks good exept for the gaps between the arm junktions and that the torso seems a little stiff. Nice work!

[dnalogic]

Thats excellent. Awesome physics.

Totally awesome I love the leg hold and swinging part, makes me feel "control"

Hey, very nice demo

it's nice to see that more people are using flash to create cool physics games

i was just wondering what kind of collision detection you used against the scenery?

just as a suggestion:

if you want to avoid the arms stretching out too much, try using more iterations per frame, and instead of constraining the body part directly to the mouse, constrain it to a spring that's attached to the mouse

That's it! I QUIT!!


I can't compete with this kind of stuff.

Aw... come on Ray Beez. There's a good reason why we have a Math & Physics forum!

Yeah, nice idea, but i'll create a gravity gun so you don't need to drag him with the mouse.

Just another question: is someone skillfull enough to create from a huge script one function? It would be easy for me to add ragdolls when an enemy dies.

Very fun, and slightly addictive. One thing I noticed is that if you get him moving at a high velocity and switch controls (i.e. from head to arm) you might "miss" him and not have control unless you click on him again.

But it's very nice

It's especially fun to let him come to rest, put your mouse in the upper-right hand corner, tap the "Q" button, and watch him fly off the screen

what exactly do you mean?
do u have some code to show?

...and what about my collisions question?

[OpethRockr55]

If I remember correctly, he uses the Flade collision.
