Collision and animated meshs

hello!

i have an animated object - a person who starts crouching...

My question is, if there is any chance to add a collision which takes care of the changing size of the animation ?

Did anyone has an example? The collisionresponse animator doesn't care about the size of the mesh, i think...

Perhaps during the animation you could switch the collision animator to another one at the right size during the animation, then switch back to the old one after?

i believe the aabbox of the node changes with the animation. if ur trying to do exact collision (like with a bullet) i think the ray changes with the mesh too.

yeah the aabbox changes I have done somthing a little like this, also you could check for triangle intersections with your mesh, which may be too much of a performance hit.
