Does Tiny support joints already?

If I create joints as in ECS Samples, I can't make it work inside of the subscene.

If I put it outside of the scene with ConvertToEntity script, it works in the editor, but not during DOTS runtime.

Should I be able to use joints in Tiny already? If so, can you please give me a hint?

 

Hi! Can you please provide some more info?

1. When you say you "create joints as in ECS Samples", are you copying/pasting some of the samples scripts here, or somehow creating your own authoring components?
2. Can you verify whether your subscene-based setup works when you build a regular desktop standalone player?
3. What specifically happens in your failing use case? Is there an error message, do the constraints do nothing, or does their behavior look wrong?

 

Yes, I pretty much just copied parts of the ECS samples from GitHub.

I think I got a bit confused and messed up the setup. On a second try, it is clear that it requires hybrid packages >> So it is not possible to reuse for Tiny without modifications yet. Sorry about that.

About ConvertToEntity - All objects I create with this component outside of the DOTS subscene are not there during runtime. TinyRacing is using ConvertToEntity for DisplayInfo singleton though.

 

Well, the conversion systems require hybrid assemblies, yes, but there are joints in the run-time, which should in theory be compatible with DOTS Run-Time (aka Tiny). So if these are in a sub-scene I would still expect them to work.

 

It still acts the same way in Editor/DOTS runtime:

If the object with the joint is in subscene, it acts like the joint is not there - same with Editor/runtime.

If I copy-paste these two objects outside and add ConvertToEntity, it works as expected in Editor. (not in runtime, but that part is clear)

Not sure what am I missing.

 

I encountered the exact same problem as you。In a normal DOTS project，Joint work good outside the sub-scene. Once placed, the sub-scene will fail.

 

Hi! I assume you are trying with the latest version of Unity physics (0.3.1-preview) and its samples? Are there any conversion errors reported?
