Hello again,

I've been making a 2d game engine based on the architecture of this book and things have been going spectacular. I've got everything working so now I want to create a TheoJansen walker actor but I run into the following barriers: I can't have more than one physics body (fixed) or scene node per actor. The only way I can think to accomplish my task is to completely rewrite the actor creation process. Am I right? If so, can anyone reference me to some kind of book or article on actor and scene node systems. Anything would help.



Thank, Jonathan.

OMG! THANK YOU! I've been working so hard on this. I don't know why I didn't think of that before. I guess I thought something like that would be against the whole reason why I have the actor/scene node structure.

I did it 8o! I didn't have to make a special actor either. I accomplished my original goal. I'm not going to go into too much detail because I don't want to bore anyone, but essentially this is what I did: First, I put a vector container to hold bodies in the Box2DPhysicsActor which was originally BulletPhysicsActor. Then, I had to change a lot of stuff in order to get all of the related functions working again. After that, I gave the scene a map to contain multiple scene nodes along with a corresponding id. Then again, I had to modify all of the relating functions. It's definitely not optimized, but it doesn't matter because I can fix that.

I feel like a fr*****g genius because I'm only sixteen and no one at my school could help me. So thanks a lot Mike for your suggestions.
