so im having a physics based problem where when i move my ground static objects they still exist in the same spot.
in the script below i loaded a small map with ground and some walls and a random dynamic object
as the dynamic object falls and the ground moves away from the object the object will never fall no matter how way the ground is away from the object.
why is the ground physics staying in the same place but the image of the ground moving away???
