Maybe you should try to detect collision using getCollisionPoint. It detects collision on the line.

That's good if your projectiles you're firing are very fast, like bullets, and hit their target straight after being fired, but if they are slow projectiles then that's not such a good way to do it, unless every frame you check how far along the line of flight the projectile has flown and see if that went through any enemies.

What i do (currently) is every frame check if the projectile's position is within an enemy's bounding box. That's for slow projectiles

hi,
If i use fast shooting, i can find only triangle. How can i find which enemy i shooted to destroy.

You could check the bullets collision line against each individual enemy's triangle selector individually maybe or is it possible to get the triangle and then cycle through each enemy's triangle selector to find out which one it came from?

I'm new to Irrlicht, but what I used to do with other engines, if you are doing a FPS, is just check if the mousepick is on the ennemy mesh. (Maybe won't work very well for network based games)
