Panda Joints + Ode Joint

[demonsight]

Hi, there are no examples how to manimulate Panda actor Joints by using Ode joints. Can somebody explain how can it be done?

There is explanation and an example in this thread (in a post by drwr):

ODE Joints and Panda Joints

Hey, I’m pretty new to panda and 3D game development in general, so hopefully this has a straightforward answer. The plan is to do more with this, but, to strip a problem down to a “simple” example, let’s say I want to make a ragdoll. This ragdoll works wonderfully in ODE, but I want to display it in Panda. Now, I have seen an example where the bones are drawn in Panda, but my specifications require support of a skinned mesh. The most natural way to do this (as apparent to me) is to get posi…

So i Have managed to move Panda Joints with Ode Joints, and control Panda Joint by using Ode Joints Inverse Kinematics, but there is one awkwardness, Panda Joints is Extending model mesh model ( without Ode joints manipulations and with), can somebody explain what is wrong?

def restrain(i, mn = -1, mx = 1): return min(max(i, mn), mx)

def __init__(self):
        self.handstart = self.hand.controlJoint(None, 'modelRoot', 'end')
        taskMgr.add(self.turnFinger, "turnFinger")

 def turnFinger(self, task):
        self.handstart.setP(restrain(self.x) * 50)
        self.handstart.setH(restrain(self.y) * 50)
        self.handstart.setZ(restrain(0) * 50)

def spamXPlus(self):
        self.x = self.x + 0.1;

def spamXMinus(self):
        self.x = self.x - 0.1;

def spamYplus(self):
        self.y = self.y + 0.1;

def spamYMinus(self):
        self.y = self.y - 0.1;
