On page 97,98 in the Reactor Manual it says:
"The sphere's sides bulge out as it deforms into an ellipsoid shape, but this happens outside the control of the physics engine and therefore appears to happen instantaneously. This sort of thing can happen quite often, particularly in situations where meshes are being generated automatically (e.g. in character animation a skin mesh around a set of bones deforms based on the position of the
bones).
....the surrounding affected objects should move. In this case, the deforming mesh will cause the two blocks on either side to be pushed outwards away from the sphere. The Havok system needs to be told that an object's geometry may deform outside of its control in order to achieve this result."
Especially the last sentence, how do I tell reactor my objects morph and that the morph should be considerd in the simulation....
Basicly I want my corn to pop and the morph should trigger the jumping of the corn... Is this possible and if yes, where do I tell reactor to use mesh deformation for the simulation... Other suggestions are welcome as well!
Thnx in advance!
