NOTE: If you are using a version of PhysX prior to 2.6.4, then you should
test very carefully if you should keep this commit. This change fixed a
bug that caused avatars to get stuck falling against certain colliders. It
seems to no longer be needed.
Deleting an hsRefCnt is evil, we should ALWAYS hsRefCnt_SafeUnRef (we
might have a nullptr) it because someone might ref it. hsRefCnt will explictly crash if you delete it when the refcnt != 1.
Also, take this opportunity to vector-ize things.
Cyan's old code was confusing and would allow you to walk on top of small
kickables. Now, we impart force to these small kickables up to a certain
point where imparting force to them becomes somewhat risky.
Looks like the Cyan modellers didn't extend the stair ramps all the way
down in some places. To compensate, we can now take higher steps but can't
walk on slopes quite as steep as before. I think this should balance out
nicely.
Looks like Cyan broke these when they fixed superjumps. It appears that
LinearVelocity is only good while the PhysicalControllerCore is updating,
and it stashes the result for later so nothing else can touch it.
Regardless, we need to test AchievedLinearVelocity outside of the update
proc.
On the other hand, have we ever figured out exactly what this code is
supposed to do? Mark added it for something, but it's not really clear
what the purpose is.
Now that we properly suspend/resume the simulation AND filter out false
positives in the PanicLink region, we can use the correct PhysX apis have
have regions that work 100%
