I have a rectangular shaped enclosure with objects inside which I want to propel themselves. When I llApplyImpulse, the objects propel themselves through my walls. Sometimes they bounce off the walls like I wanted them to, it's reproduceable about 50% of the time. The goal is to keep the objects inside the walls at all times. The propelling objects are physical and the walls are not. I've tried making the walls thicker, and it helps a little, but not much. Do I need to make the walls physical as well? I thought that this didnt matter. Do I need to react to collision detection with the walls and applyimpulse in the other direction on a collision event?

I am pretty sure it's just the physics engine not being perfect. Try slowing them down a little.

Make the objects slower and the walls thicker.

Talk to Deevyde Maelstrom. He's done lots of studies of the physics engine, including tanks with a bunch of bouncing self-propelled balls inside. He might be able to offer some insight. Plus, his toys at Braniac are really cool  |

Havok 3 will fix this. But then, we don't even have Havok 2 yet...
