I'm using a left handed coordinate system,but,the physics engine I'm using uses a right handed coordinate system. By now,you probably know where I'm going.

I thought that if I always pass my coords unchanged,and convert the ones I get from the physics engine to a left handed sys,there would be no problem,yet there is.

For example:

When I try to create a displacement vector like: get x position from physics engine - old_x position from my engine I just get the right movement,but inversed(moving left will actually get you to right)

So I thought,wouldn't inversing the Z coord I get from the physics engine work? No,It doesn't. Would inversing all the coords I get from the physics engine work? No,Would creating the displacement vector normally(the one that moves inversed),and then just inversing the vector work? NO!

Some ideeas?

There exists several left-handed or right-handed coordinate system. How your coordinate systems are defined?

It is also possible to use the C++ type system to help you. Define a vector type you use for your game and a different one you use to interface with the Physics system. You can provide conversion functions between them, which do the matrix multiplications that Buckeye described. That way you won't forget a conversion somewhere, because your compiler won't let you.
