GetFeatures

by Demolishun · in Torque Game Engine · 09/29/2006 (6:14 pm) · 5 replies

I am working through the collision resource:
www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=5414
And I get to the code that talks about getFeatures and how it is used in the vehicle code. I do a "grep -e Features *" on the vehicle code directory and it is NEVER used. I do the same thing inside the game directory and it is defined in ShapeBase and TSStatic, but never used. Why is this?

    Check convex.cc. convex.cc handles all GJK collision, which is what the vehicles use.

    So getFeatures is no longer used or defined because GjkCollisionState::getCollisionInfo now handles the collision.

    Thanks Alex,

    No. The convex code calls getFeatures. getFeatures is still very much used.

    Wait a second shapebase uses both getFeatures and support. Doh, I kept on thinking vehicles was based on gamebase! DOH! Well now I have the examples I need. Thanks

    Thanks for mentioning the GJK stuff. From what I read it may be what I need for a large number of objects.
