Temporarily disable collision detection

[SuperElectric]

Is there a handy way to temporarily disable collision detection on something (either the world or the robot/camera) after having added it? My situation is that I have a robot with a bunch of CollisionResponseAnimators attached, roving around in a quake map. If I want to move (teleport) the robot to a different location by calling setPosition, the collision detection places the robot somewhere else if there's a wall in the way.

Thanks,

You can put a variable when you are telporting and in your collison put

Code: Select all

if(teleporting == true)
{
//set up collision...
}

This should work. If it doesnt jut post again and we'll try to help.

Hmm... I want to be able to set up collision detection, but later turn off the collision detection if I need to teleport. Your suggestion, if I understand it correctly, would work if I only needed to teleport at the outset, then could turn on and leave on collision detection forever after that.

Can you post the code on where you teleport? It would make it a lot easier.
