object to object collisions in 3d game

[Guest]

Hi,
I'm making a 3d game.I want to know how will I do object(player) to object(missile) collision using boundingbox technique?

Plz anybody help.

I would recommend using an external Physics engine, like ODE or Newton ( Newton preferrably if your on Windows ).

However, in Irrlicht, you can use selectors to determine if any objects will collide. Check out the tutorial on collision detection and search the forums a bit, the answers should be there. If you have more questions, ask away.

please, guest if you find the tutorial or other thing in the forum , please, put the ilnk here what i dont find anything and i am interesting in it , thanks

hi kaneda,
I'm jessica here .I'm not getting anything here.Neither a gud link nor any tutorial.
I come across one function .intersectsWithBox().I tried to run this .But getting problem here.
u plz try it.If it is detecting collision .Plz help me too.
I 'm still trying..
if anybody plz explain me about this function . How thsi works?
Whether it can detect object(player) to object(missile) collision or not.

Hi ,
Plz try this one getTransformedBoundingBox().intersectsWithBox()
this is working properly .

Take a look at:

The newton physics engine can be found at:

The 'Newton General Tech 3DGS demo' gives a good idea
of what is possible and its precision

i'd like to know how to import a mesh as a convex hull with NewtonCreateConvexHull

i don't exactly understand how to get the information about the vertices (i need an array consisting of the vertices and a float containing the amount of the vertices)
