It's crap. Everybody knows that. It was good for the time it was implemented, but technology has moved on. Some indie games have better physics than Roblox, fix it.

Be specific. This is like saying, "Fix all problems".

@800imawesome: Honestly, "improving the physics engine" IS a suggestion. I dont think the current one obeys ANY laws of physics (unless "falling things move downwards" is a law of physics)

Physics isn't one thing. I'm asking what parts of physics he wants improved or implemented. I saying "Fix the Physics" isn't a suggestion. I'm asking him what's broken or needs improvement.

I'm talking about the physics engine as in the laws of physics. What realistically happens when this block does this, and so on.

Actually, they should start with the fact that objects moving at slow speeds (200 meters per second, lets say) do NOT in fact move through solid objects like cars, mountains and the floor of houses whilst leaving the solid object intact. Also, people generally do not walk on air, so neither should we be able to walk on objects whose cancollide is set to FALSE.

No
Get out

Physics are complicated,
they are trying to improve it all the time.

Good enough, bro.

It is a freaking BUILDING and SOCIAL game.


go qq in the corner if you don't like it.

Or, post a valid part you want updated.

Go read a physics book if you don't know what the parts are.

"Its crap"
>Idea
>> Remove physics and watch the fireworks.
These physics which will get a update when they freaking can,
or no physics.
or go build with sticks outside.

This is ROBLOX,
the physics are not MADE to be real,
they are made to follow basic real-ish guidelines and rules,
but maintain a fun aspect allowing creative crap to be funner.

Says the 09er.

Physics were EXACTLY the same as they were in 08. They haven't been updated at all. Stupid tart. And it's a sandbox game, which requires it to have adequate physics. You get out.

Its physics are good enough.


"Says the 09er"
...
Says the 08'er who thinks he owns the place because he is a year older.


Sure they need update but that doesn't mean you need to come in here and go

"These physics are crap, I demand you to update them ROBLOX"

Which, is a basic sum of you post.

This is a game where everyone is made of plastic blocks and we run around with AK47s shooting zombies and flying aeroplanes.

If you're looking for realisms and "physics", you're in the wrong place.

I am guessing you guys want physics good to the point that you
could fly a airplane without editing positioning and stuff.


No.

@Wonknut:
Then don't force the system to do that.
If that's happening, you're the one to blame because you made the engine do it.

@frozen: Its not really very extreme instances, just a script to rotate a part around. If that part just so happens to touch the players head they somehow get merged into that part and are unable to escape. As for the going through parts, simply setting a part to a very small (200,0.2,200) size and jumping can allow players to fall through the floor.

But honestly, the engine IS very outdated and most modern games do not have these problems.

Another thing they need to have is the ability to touch things that aren't simple shapes, such as meshes. If games built for the PS1 can do it, roblox MUST be able to!

I think roblox should implement ragdoll physics and leave it at that.



Oh, and what is a siggy?

I agree. also, if you fall from a high area, you will either bounce and flip immensely, or fall straight through the ground altogether.
