rotate collision ellipsoid?

[floppyfreak]

I use a collisionResponse like this one:

Code: Select all

ptColResAni=irrSceneMgr->createCollisionResponseAnimator(
                        msel, TELLtecam, core::vector3df(4,1,1.1),
                    	core::vector3df(0,0,0),
                    	core::vector3df(0,0,0));

now I want the ellipsiod to rotate together with my cam, but it doesn't happen. When I rotate at a wall, the closest distance to the wall will not change. Is the reason for this somewhere in my code or is it a irrlicht feature?
How can I make a collision body that changes with my rotation?

Hehehe! Google it up how funny this is! That's why I won't implement rotating ellipsoids into FC.

Sorry, I can't see the fun in it

It's complexity doesn't worth the effort. Probably you'd have a solution that's too slow for regular use.

So I guess what should be done is a two- step solution? Find the nearby- collisions with ellipsoid and if true check for precise collisions ?!

Well, I guess it would be more than just two steps.

I have some ideas for workarounds, but it all depends: what do you want to archieve?

I have a flying object that is more flat then thick an it shall get closed to walls (also ceilings etc) without flying into walls. That simple for the moment.

The easiest is to use an UFO-shape for this.
