What is analog for NxActor::moveGlobalPose() in PhysX SDK 4.1?

[SNMetamorph]

I'm porting old physics code from PhysX SDK 2.8.3 to 4.1 version. And I can't find modern analog for method NxActor::moveGlobalPose(). There is no information about it in migrating from 2.x to 3.x guide. Thanks!

[jcarius-nv]

PxRigidDynamic::setKinematicTarget() should do the job.

[SNMetamorph]

Thanks! What about other functions and enums, like: NxActor::setLinearMomentum NxActorFlags::NX_AF_DISABLE_COLLISION

[SNMetamorph]

And what about force fields which are presented in PhysX SDK 2.8?

[jcarius-nv]

PxRigidBody::setForceAndTorque allows for different modes, e.g., applying force, impulse (momentum), and velocity change.

If you don't want a shape to partake in collisions you can set the eSIMULATION_SHAPE of the shape to 0. More advanced collision setup is possible with collision filtering, there's a section about this in the guide.

Force fields have been removed since PhysX 3.0, see release notes "What's New In NVIDIA PhysX 3.0"

[SNMetamorph]

@jcarius-nv thanks! Are there some replacements for force fields, or maybe it can be implemented manually?

[jcarius-nv]

Unfortunately there is no replacement. It just has to be done by the user through addForce & scene queries or triggers etc.

I'm stuck again with this old functions: NxShape::getGlobalPosition NxShape::getGlobalOrientation What will be replacement in PhysX SDK 4.1 version? Please.
