I tried to build an actor with controller class, but after simulation matrix values never change.

so I couldn't read physical results anywhere to build a mesh around it.

the values of controller.matrix are:

x = 2343423420000000000000000000000,0,0 (similar to this.. very high number anyway)
y = 0,0,0
z = 0,0,0
pos = 0,0,0

is there a special way to get controller actor's matrix values?

controller works ok,
check the tutorial "physics\controllers"
you can draw the controller matrix values on the screen
(maybe you read values in debug mode with optimizations on)

ok I got it to work not using actor matrix directly but using matrix.pos for positioning and using cskel matrix.orn for rotation because I still can't rotate actor using ctrl.actor.matrix().orn.rotateY(Tm.d());

ctrl.actor.matrix(matrix)

but I dont recommend it for real-time (each frame modification)
you can apply velocities, angular velocities, or just have the actor matrix constant, and just rotate the mesh (have a secondary matrix for the mesh, based on actor)

ok I'm setting rotation input directly on cskel matrix.orn parameter, then for moving back and forth controller I use his update method passing cskel matrix.z vector then I update cskel matrix.pos based on ctrl.actor.matrix().pos

I guess it's ok for real time?
