The behavior of cloth.

Archive: 16 posts


I'm working on a level where I'd like to use a number of the cloth flags and banners, but I've noticed that these objects seem to be affected by almost random wind directions. This is good for making things dynamic, but I wish I had more control of it. Here's a screenshot from the level so far:

Those banners seems to have a mind of their own. It's great for the purpose of this section, but later I'm going to want to give the illusion that the setting is indoors, so if these objects can't behave I'll have to replace them.

Has any one found a way to control the "wind" affecting these objects?

no from what I found they always seem to blow in 1 direction... I flipped one once and it blew in the other direction, so it looked really weird with like 9 flags blowing to the left and 1 to the right...

IDK man, I dont think you can fix the wind on them though.

No, unfortunately, think there is nothing to do with this!2009-02-23 07:30:00

I love the LBP physics engine, but the cloth behaviour is a constant pain. It always seems to look as if it's stuck in a hurricane, the way it twitches and turns.2009-02-23 09:37:00

I really wish we'd had control over this.

Yeah it's an object. There is no "cloth" item but there is a banner, and a torn cloth etc. They are scattered through the categories though. I second the unpredictability btw.2009-02-25 07:34:00

Then there's also the decorative cloth that also has the same problem...2009-02-25 12:16:00

The only thought I have on making them stay still is to use string and attach it to the floor....not very pretty
Your level is looking good though BTW

can you hook string to cloth?... I remember wanting a banner once, just a banner, no attached pole or anything.. Couldnt break a flag apart, couldnt turn it into dissolve, couldnt do anything with it really. oh well.2009-02-25 17:24:00

Can you really attach rods etc to cloth? :O I'm so going to make a raft with that! A bunch of logs, a mast and a piece of cloth to make it act like an actual raft/sailing ship :O Could be a Robinson Cruso? kind of thing2009-02-25 18:40:00

I'm pretty sure nothing can interact with the cloth. It doesn't seem to relate to the physics engine at all.

if it could that'd be sweet. Cloth + Invisible piston = control over your cloth's movements.2009-02-25 19:09:00

But i'm pretty sure you can interact with it, at least sackboy can jump through it and it and it will move.2009-02-25 19:11:00
