Collision Area

[Andy54]

Hi, i'm pretty new to Irrlicht so forgive me if I'm not doing this correctly.

I've got some code working for my collision detection, however, I am having trouble with the area of the collision.

For example, I have a building in my game scene, and although the collision works, the camera goes through the walls a bit first before stopping. I'm assuming this has to do with setting the area for the collision, so wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction of what I must change in my code.

Code: Select all

ITriangleSelector* templeCollision = 0;
                templeCollision = smgr->createOctreeTriangleSelector(temple->getMesh(), temple, 20);
                temple->setTriangleSelector(templeCollision);
                ISceneNodeAnimator* coll3 = smgr->createCollisionResponseAnimator(templeCollision, camera1, 
                                vector3df(200,50,60),
                                vector3df(0,0,0),
                                vector3df(0,0,0));
                        templeCollision->drop();
                        camera1->addAnimator(coll3);
                        coll3->drop(); 

Thank you =]

From the Refence:

public ISceneNodeAnimator CreateCollisionResponseAnimator(
ITriangleSelector world,
ISceneNode sceneNode,
Vector3D ellipsoidRadius,
Vector3D gravityPerSecond,
Vector3D ellipsoidTranslation,
float slidingValue
);

In your code the "ellipsoidRadius" is set to:

vector3df(200,50,60)

Probably the nearest draw point of camera is far than this ellipsoid dimensions, try to raise them, for example to a (250,100,100)
You can try and try and try dimensions untill resolved

Lets hope it works...

Try smaller values, perhaps when you load the level camera is already closer than the elipsoid range.
