Linepick and entity type

[Icare]

Hi !

 

who can explain to me why my code doesn't work ?

If I set the entitytype of the sphere to 20, and the filter too, there isn't result of the linepick, if I set it to 0 it's ok....

 

local sphere:tmesh=createsphere()

EntityType(sphere, 20, 1)

 

Print GetEntityType(sphere)

 

Local pick:TPick = LinePick(Vec3(0, 0, -5), Vec3(0, 0, 10), 0, 20)

If pick <> Null Then

Print "ok"

End If

 

thank,

The collision type parameter works as follows: Imagine the pick-ray being a physical body with the specified collision type that flies in the pick direction. It'll stop at the first mesh it hits that has a collision type which would collide with it's type. Therefore, for the pick type parameter to work, Collisions must have been used to set up any type (response type doesn't matter) of collision between the pick's type and the mesh's type. So after calling (for example) Collsions(1,2), a pick of type 2 will hit meshes of type 1 and the other way around.

 

In other words you need to specify which Collisions you want.
