In this case, the actor mPreviousPosition is not updated, so the actor
position is interpolated between an old (stucked) position and the new
(unstucked) position. The new position is most likely "stucked", so the
unstuck code strikes again, making the actor "vibrates".
That's exactly what the sync code path does, and it doesn't exhibit this
behavior.
What happened is that the last handle to an Actor shared_ptr was a
promoted weak_ptr. When the shared_ptr goes out of scope, the Actor dtor
is invoked. That involves removing the Actor collision object after
exclusively locking mCollisionWorldMutex. In this case, the lock was
already held in the outter scope of the promoted weak_ptr.
Reduce the scope of the mCollisionWorldMutex to never encompass the
lifetime of a promoted weak_ptr.
This unbreak abot's boat mods: they're continually teleporting
the boats (who is an actor with waterwalking effect). As such, the
physics simulation was never run and the boat never went to sea level.
One of the issue since the introduction of async physics is the quirky
handling of scripted moves. Previous attempt to account for them was
based on detecting changes in actor position while the physics thread is
running. To this end, semantics of Actor::updatePosition() (which is
responsible for set the absolute position of an actor in the world) was
toned down to merely store the desired position, with the physics system
actually responsible for moving the actor. For the cases were complete
override of the physics simulation was needed, I introduced
Actor::resetPosition(), which actually have same semantics as
original updatePosition(). This in turn introduced a loads of new bugs
when the weakened semantics broke key assumptions inside the engine
(spawning, summoning, teleport, etc).
Instead of tracking them down, count on the newly introduced support for
object relative movements in the engine (World::moveObjectBy) to
register relative movements and restore original handling of absolute positionning.
Changes are relatively small:
- move resetPosition() content into updatePosition()
- call updatePosition() everywhere it was called before
- remove all added calls to the now non-existing resetPosition()
tldr; ditch last month worth of bug introduction and eradication and redo
it properly
This gives finer control over reseting positions (switch off tcl is no
longer glitchy) and solve most of the erroneous usage of stale World::Ptr
indicated by:
"Error in frame: moveTo: object is not in this cell"
its current position.
Use it in relevant MWScripts opcode (move and moveworld).
Remove the fragile detection of scripted translation from PhysicsTaskScheduler.
No user visible change, just a more robust mechanism.
When an NPC fire a projectile, it should affect only its targeted actor.
To this end, after a hit is detected the target is checked against the
list of AI targets and reactivated if necessary.
Problem occurs when the hit occurs as a result of a friendly actor going
into the projectile (detected in ClosestNotMeConvexResultCallback):
while the projectile is inside the friend's collision box, it is
deactivated, just to be immediately reactivated. Effectively, the
projectile does nothing until the actor moves out.
Add a check inside the ClosestNotMeConvexResultCallback before declaring
a hit.
Since the necessary data is not safely accessible from the async thread,
maintain a copy inside the Projectile class.
position being used under heavy load, I introduced a regression that
prevented the position to be updated in case of teleport.
Move the logic in its own function and decide in PhysicsSystem whether a
reset is needed.
be sure the simulation is over. Otherwise, if the simulation is too slow
the position is wrong, and the actors would jump back and forth between
old and new position instead of actually moving.
Before this change, if an actor position was changed while the physics
simulation was running, the simulation result would be discarded. It is
fine in case of one off event such as teleport, but in the case of
scripts making use of this functionality to make lifts or conveyor (such
as Sotha Sil Expanded mod) it broke actor movement.
To alleviate this issue, at the end of the simulation, the position of the Actor
in the world is compared to the position it had at the beginning of the
simulation. A difference indicate a force move occured. In this case,
the Actor mPosition and mPreviousPosition are translated by the difference of position.
Since the Actor position will be really set while the next simulation runs, we
save it in the mNextPosition field.
it is updated in the solver only if the actor is standing on
"something". The ground is not "something", so in case the actor goes
from standing on an object to the standing on the ground, this change was not taken
into account.
Clear the value before the simulation to solve this problem.
