spatial.getControl(BetterCharacterControl.class);
}
10. Finally, in the
controlUpdate
method, we check whether
usePhysics
is
true
. If it is, rather than updating the spatial like we normally do in the method,
we should instead set
walkDirection
of
physicsCharacter
to the local
one and set
viewDirection
to the forward vector of its rotation as follows:
if(usePhysics){
physicsCharacter.setWalkDirection(walkDirection.multLocal(50));
physicsCharacter.setViewDirection(tempRotation.getRotationColumn(2));
}
11. In our server's main class, inside the
addPlayer
method, we should now add
BetterCharacterControl
to the player's spatial before we add
Server-
PlayerControl
, as shown in the following code snippet:
Node playerNode = new Node("Player");
playerNode.addControl(new
BetterCharacterControl(0.5f, 1.5f, 1f));
playerNode.addControl(player);
rootNode.attachChild(playerNode);
stateManager.getState(ServerPhysicsAppState.class).addPlayer(player.getPhysicsCharacter());
12. There also needs to be some logic to add and remove
BetterCharacterCon-
trol
from
physicsSpace
as it joins and leaves the game.
