A Collision Detection Question

[Handle]

Hi I had a quick search through the forum but had no joy so I wonder if anyone could help me with this problem.

I am using the getSceneNodeFromRayBB() function to send a ray from my camera position into the world so I can detect which node the player is looking at and therefore can interact with the detected node.

Everything was working pretty much fine but recently I added a arm animations to the character and now I have the problem of if the ray hitting the arms first rather than any actual objects I want to interact with.

Is there anyway I can set the arms node to be ignored by the getSceneNodeFromRayBB() test?

Cheers,

Handle

Since it's using the bounding box for that function I would think that
would be pretty tough. Can you add extra tests to eliminate the collision
if it's an arm?

My two tips:

-get some trimesh collison library like OPCODE, which works quite fast and returns trimesh accurate results

-check if what you hit is your player node, and if it is, ignore this hit and only care with the next one
