Player collision(bounding) box size?

by Ronald J Nelson · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 05/19/2008 (12:05 am) · 4 replies

Is there some way to get the dimensions of a player box? Or even better, to get the opposite side from a point on on the box?

Basicallically if you take a point on the front side of the box, I would like to get the point on the back side of the box preferredly in a directional method such as if a projectile had hit the box.

The collision(bounding) box is done via extreme points (minimum and maximum).
You can get their transform in the convex class.

OK there is not some function already that just gives you the size values of the box?

In Player.cpp, you can find getDamageLocation which might be a first step in trying to figure out the location
