MaxHandles Questions

[thePoet]

The constructor for btAxisSweep3 has the following check:

btAssert(maxHandles > 1 && maxHandles < 32767);

We were curious what happens if you go over this limit. We were using 0xFFFE for a while (one less than max unsigned short).

[Erwin Coumans]

If you exceed this limit, it will assert in debug mode and crash in release mode.

Simply increase the limit, and if this is not enough, use bt32BitAxisSweep3. If there are a lot of static objects (non-moving triangle meshes), consider to merge them together in a btBvhTriangleMeshShape, to reduce the number of entries in the broadphase.

Hope this helps,
