Running Obi Cloth In Edit Mode

[josemendez]

Hi,
I want to run obi cloth in edit mode during level design process. 
I could not see any info about this. Pls help. Thanks

Hi there,

You can derive from the ObiUpdater class to update Obi whenever you want, including at edit time. See:
http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/tutor...aters.html

Also look up ObiUpdater in the API docs:
http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/api.html

You'll see it has several methods to advance the simulation: BeginStep, Substep, EndStep, and Interpolate. You can also check the different existing subclasses of ObiUpdater (ObiFixedUpdater, ObiLateUpdater, etc) for examples on how/when to call these methods. The typical pattern would be:

Code:

BeginStep();
Substep();
Substep();
.
.
.
Substep();
EndStep();
Interpolate();

So: one call to BeginStep() (performs collision detection and clears up cached data), one or more calls to Substep() (advances simulation), one call to EndStep(); (calls collision callbacks) and one call to Interpolate(); (interpolates physics state and triggers rendering).

cheers!
