Am I doing something wrong? Possible bug with Irrlicht's collision algorithm!

While testing example 07.Collision I noticed that when you jumped towards specific locations you could literaly stick to the ceiling

For instance, jumping towards this set of triangles.



Would get you up in the ceiling and if you continued holding "jump", you would stay up there forever!



I don't believe this was intended!

The only thing I added was this:

Code: Select all

 
    SKeyMap keyMap[6];
    keyMap[0].Action = EKA_MOVE_FORWARD;
    keyMap[0].KeyCode = KEY_KEY_W;
 
    keyMap[1].Action = EKA_MOVE_BACKWARD;
    keyMap[1].KeyCode = KEY_KEY_S;
 
    keyMap[2].Action = EKA_STRAFE_LEFT;
    keyMap[2].KeyCode = KEY_KEY_Q;
 
    keyMap[3].Action = EKA_STRAFE_RIGHT;
    keyMap[3].KeyCode = KEY_KEY_E;
 
    keyMap[4].Action = EKA_JUMP_UP;
    keyMap[4].KeyCode = KEY_SPACE;
 
    keyMap[5].Action = EKA_CROUCH;
    keyMap[5].KeyCode = KEY_CONTROL;
 
    scene::ICameraSceneNode* camera = smgr->addCameraSceneNodeFPS(0, 100.0f, .3f, ID_IsNotPickable, keyMap, 6, true, 3.f);
 

Am I doing something wrong?

No you are not doing anything wrong. It's unfortunately a bug in Irrlicht: http://sourceforge.net/p/irrlicht/bugs/399/

So far no-one seems to have found time to work on that unfortunately, so I have no solution for you right now except using the collisions system of some physics engine instead. The build-in stuff is nice for coding quick prototypes, but for most serious games you need more advanced solutions.
