Ok, so i have my newton player(fps) that is made of two spheres sames size. ive connected the 'upper body' to the lower body via universal joint. i messed with the pins and set it like:

now this all seems to work unless this is ultimately the case. now when i walk the camera is attached to the lower body. the upper body is attached but kinda bounces around. its for crouching so when i crouch i tell newton to ignore all collisions with the upper body otherwise act as if it is one. now how do i stop the bouncing around? if i wasnt clear enough just let me know cause this is kinda confusing.

Thanks,
Homey

sooo...no one knows anything about this at all??? is there any other ideas for crouching in newton? i thought it would be pretty stupid to leave out crouching in a shooter game so please help!

Thanks,
Homey

If it's a first person shooter, I'd just take the method from the FPS demo in the Newton Wrapper (capsule with upright joint?), and scale it down on the Y axis to make the collision area more "Squat". Move the camera as expected.

Sorry I haven't dabbled with FPS type newton stuff. My game is 3rd person, and well the player isn't a person.

you think i should real-time scale it? i remember having this idea but never really got it to work...how could i scale it? im gonna give it a try.

thanks,
Homey
