problem with newPolygonShape function

I dont got how to use it. It first attempt I try to create ellipse by simple math
Code: Select all
local t =0
for n = 1,8 do
local x,y =0
x=(self.width/2)*math.cos(t*math.pi)
y=(self.height/2)*math.sin(t*math.pi)
self.dots[n]={}
self.dots[n].x=self.body:getX()-x
self.dots[n].y=self.body:getY()-y
t=t+0.25
end
that gives me 8 point for create polygon (when i draw it in love.graphics.line( ) without physic it look good and all fine). But when i try to create it like physic object
Code: Select all
self.shape = love.physics.newPolygonShape(self.body ,self.dots[1].x,self.dots[1].y , self.dots[2].x,self.dots[2].y , self.dots[3].x,self.dots[3].y , self.dots[4].x,self.dots[4].y ,self.dots[5].x,self.dots[5].y , self.dots[6].x,self.dots[6].y , self.dots[7].x,self.dots[7].y , self.dots[8].x,self.dots[8].y)
i got just clear screen when draw it. Nothing displayed. Set back for example self.shape =love.physics.newRectangleShape(self.body , 0, 0, self.width , self.height) - it render normal
Draw function
Code: Select all
love.graphics.polygon("line", self.shape:getPoints())

Where is the body, where is the world?
Have you read the forum rules?

Robin Sorry . What rule i broke ? I try translate rules in my native language and most of them i got.
World is there
Code: Select all
worldsize = 16000
world = love.physics.newWorld(0, 0, worldsize, worldsize)
body creates with cords for example in 1000,1000 by function
Code: Select all
self.body = love.physics.newBody(world, x, y, 10, 0)
then create shape

Provide a .love
here is a .love
uncomment 39 line for look where dots of ellipse generated . But i cant see where love.graphics.polygon("line", egofizika:getPoints()) render

This is not wrong, but y will be 'nil' unless you write:
Code: Select all
self.dots[n]={}
self.dots[n].x=self.body:getX()-x
self.dots[n].y=self.body:getY()-y
You don't need to translate your vertices.
"newPolygonShape" accepts local body coordiates.
Also, you are creating an 8-sided polygon.
Why not just create a circle shape using "newCircleShape"
Code: Select all
self.shape = love.physics.newPolygonShape(self.body ,self.dots[1].x,self.dots[1].y , self.dots[2].x,self.dots[2].y , self.dots[3].x,self.dots[3].y , self.dots[4].x,self.dots[4].y ,self.dots[5].x,self.dots[5].y , self.dots[6].x,self.dots[6].y , self.dots[7].x,self.dots[7].y , self.dots[8].x,self.dots[8].y)
There's probably a better way to code this.
Take a look at the Lua function called 'unpack'.

lol. I do similar mistake again . I cant remember how that works ) thx for advices .
newCircleShape
But its not a ellipse . It just have radius. But i try do physic of some character that have not ball form

Here, I tried to simplify your code a little bit:
Code: Select all
dots={}
function love.load()
love.graphics.setLineWidth(2)
worldsize = 16384
world = love.physics.newWorld(-800, -600, 800, 600)
world:setGravity(0, 700)
world:setMeter(64)
nevebicheskayahernya = love.physics.newBody(world, 100, 500, 0, 0)
eetelo = love.physics.newRectangleShape(nevebicheskayahernya , 0, 0, 500, 50)
for n = 1,8 do
local n = n/8*(math.pi*2)
local x=25*math.cos(n)
local y=25*math.sin(n)
table.insert(dots, x)
table.insert(dots, y)
end
elips= love.physics.newBody(world, 200, 440, 10 , 1)
egofizika = love.physics.newPolygonShape(elips , unpack(dots))
end
function love.update(dt)
world:update(dt)
end
function love.draw()
love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255,255)
--love.graphics.line( unpack(dots))
love.graphics.polygon("line", eetelo:getPoints())
love.graphics.polygon("line", egofizika:getPoints())
end
If you want to use "love.graphics.line(unpack(dots))" you have to convert the vertices back to screen coords.

That's what shape:getPoints() is for.

Running the script again I noticed a small but gradual increase in memory usage.
Does "GetPoints" create a new Lua table each time it's called?
If it does, it might be a performance issue in some cases.
