Collision type property

[Rick]

I need a collision to be fired, but not cause a physical effect of stopping things from moving through it. This needs to happen for both characters and any other shapes. I couldn't seem to get any of the pre-defined collision types to do this. Either they fire with character but not other shapes, or they fire with both but physically stop the object from going through them.

 

I see there is a SetCollisionType(), but it doesn't seem to be like in LE2 where I can determine if it should have a physical effect or not. There must be a way to do this right?

enum

{

 

kCollisionProjectile = 6,

kCollisionEnemyAI = 7,

kCollisionCorpse = 8

};

 

PhysicsDriver::GetCurrent()->SetCollisionResponse(kCollisionProjectile, Collision::Scene, 1);

PhysicsDriver::GetCurrent()->SetCollisionResponse(kCollisionProjectile, Collision::Prop, 1);

PhysicsDriver::GetCurrent()->SetCollisionResponse(kCollisionProjectile, kCollisionEnemyAI, 1);

PhysicsDriver::GetCurrent()->SetCollisionResponse(kCollisionProjectile, Collision::Trigger, 0);

PhysicsDriver::GetCurrent()->SetCollisionResponse(kCollisionProjectile, Collision::Character, 0);

PhysicsDriver::GetCurrent()->SetCollisionResponse(kCollisionProjectile, kCollisionProjectile, 0);

 

done =)

Ah ok. I'll see if this works in Lua. Thanks and disregard my other question about this in the other post.

Hmm no idea if it works in Lua. Good Luck!

[Rick]

OK, got around this by just adding it to the cpp code instead of doing it in Lua. All good. It's really coming together now!

would changing the physics shape from convex hull to polymesh work for you
