Why don't people share knowledge?
Because the mods have driven away all the knoweldgeable users like me who used to hang out on the forums 8 hours a day and chat, and help people while we were at it. Now you can't chat in off topic anymore, so we don't come here half as much, or bother to read half the threads. It's no fun anymore.
Add to that the fact that there are now three distinct Blitz languages, and the discussions have fragmented because most folks don't use Blitzplus, and the rest are half divided between Max and Blitz 3D. IMO, making Max almost wholly incompatable with Blitz 3D was a big mistake.
I don't think many people here are refusing outright to help because they are selfish and want money, or don't think you should get help for free. That's silly. I think it is simply a lack of free time, and getting tired of repeating oneself over and over. I've posted lots of physics threads in the past. Search for them. But if you can't find them, then you can blame the mods for that because they deleted a few years worth of threads several months back. Maybe the threads still exist on the internet wayback machine.
Also, the stuff you were asking about is hard stuff. Stuff I haven't programmed myself, and I'm one of the more knowledgeable users here as far as I can tell. So there might be only 2 or 3 users here who could tell you how to do polygon to polygon collision fast and then rotate the obejct around the collision points with inertia and model spring systems and stuff. Most folks here doing that stuff I think were using some open source physics system that was prone to crashing. So your problem might be that this language isn't designed for folks that program big commercial games for a living, and who need to know that kinda stuff.
