Box physics with Gyro

[JasonX]

Does gyro provide a way of having box physics? It would be cool to have some ammo boxes bouncing around on rocket and grenade explosions.

You can add Gyro physics to any object in Quake. The ammo boxes look kind of funky as their bounding box is twice the height of the model... this also causes the ammo box to occasionally disappear into walls. There are a few other things that look weird, but over all I think that Gyro is an awesome piece of work!

Gyro's very very cool but it's not that good for box physics. If your project is a Darkplaces project you could probably handle Twig which is more appropriate for boxes.

and Twig also, but not related:

Unfortunately, i'm working with Makaqu. Twig is DP only. I'll try to mess with gyro and bounding boxes.

I think it only needs trace_box... but I'm not sure.

I am not sure about this. Tracebox surely it's a must, but I guess it relies in a couple other builtins.

check out those vids. I did that with megatf years ago.. it's not perfect but it can look cool from a distance

Last one looks awesome. Did you use vanilla Gyro or a modified build?

[avirox]

Mostly vanilla.. I think I did some small hacks to get boxes to collide with each other like in video 1.. but that's about it!
