Implementation in a fixed time environment

[Paril]

So I've been messing with Bullet recently; it turns out to work great for my situation in terms of features, but I cannot for the life of me work the timestep thing out.

I'm trying to run Bullet in an environment where the game portion runs at a fixed step of 10 fps. Attempting to call stepSimulation, I can only get one of two results; super slow motion but perfect physics, or proper speed but tunnelling physics.

I have no idea how to balance the two out.

When I use the maxSubSteps of the stepSimulation I get result 1, otherwise I get result 2.

Code: Select all

		physicsWorld->stepSimulation(1.0f / 10.0f, 1, 1.0f / 10.0f);

Has anyone attempted anything similar? I love Bullet but this timestep thing is really annoying to figure out. It all sounds like it makes sense but no idea why it's not working properly.

Just in case anyone has the same issue, it seems that Bullet really just can't handle this, so I moved the physics into the server portion instead running it every server frame (I guess this is why Bullet is framerate independent ), and it works nicely with my 10 fps game logic!
