Advanced Ragdoll example

Here's an example of a ragdoll character i am hoping to include in a game.

There's no instructions, just run it and the dummy will do the rest.

Looks great! What kind of game will you be building around this?

Some sort of space based physics game?

..anyway here's the capx if anybody wants it.

Example

Thank you so much for your exemple.

I noticed now is possible also joints constraints. Fantastic! Now I'll redesign my game <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Hey man!! Its a big help xtra full done!!

Thanks for the show!!i really appreciate it!

Thanks Chris this will come in handy!http://www.scirra.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif

This is the coolest thing ever, Chris! I just happened to have a cutout fantasy character laying around, so I wired him up and he was floating around in space in no time.

It's actually rather creepy in a way. I spent a lot of time making this guy, yet he was never more than just an electronic paperdoll who would animate the way I made him. But now...

He's alive. <img src="smileys/smiley15.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I'm going to add his other two limbs and then I'm going to watch him thrash around awhile. I may not sleep tonight.

Very Nice.. Has anyone else done something else with this? I would love to see someone figure out a way to have RagDoll and Platforming co-exist, like w/ normal sprite behaviors for walking/running/shooting/etc.. but then for falling, jumping, swinging, climbing, bouncing, getting hurt / shot have it physics enabled so he could thrash around... I have a sidescroller game in mind already, and am looking for ideas / ways to make this work together.. I may end up with faking the physics and just doing normal sprite animations for everything, but it would be alot kewler if I could turn it on and off, especially for my game in the works.. ;')

Thanks for any and all help with this, ideas, suggestions, code examples, etc.. Thanks..

---------------------------

I think it's better to keep physics objects and platform objects seperate. You could always have a character (animation framed) for the platform stuff and a hidden physics based 'clone' that you would use for crashing, falling etc...you would just need to make triggers to make them appear and disappear.

--------------------------

Heres another example using the dummy to simulate a crash-

Capx

The dropbox download link has no longer available,please reupload it! :)

Yeah - that's pretty annoying, I wish people would stop using Dropbox for such examples

I would like to see this if you can re-upload it, please ?

Most definitely, dropbox links are always down. Maybe Scirra can repo small projects, like give us a very limited amount of hosting, and if our projects are popular or have a positive effect on the community, more space could be enabled.

Just a thought, because I've encountered this problem elsewhere.

Well the arcade does have an example game section for examples

Sorry Guys

I accidentally deleted all my Dropbox files...this is why the links are 404.

I have a backup up, but because of bandwith restrictions (Vodafone dongle) I am unable to restore all of them.

I will try to restore any that I get requests for....starting with these Ragdoll examples-
