T3D 1.1

win 7

Player bounding box

issue:
when set boxsize by give x not equal to y in PlayerDatablock when player turn and move in another direction they still use old bounding box's transform to check collision.

Example:
1.Set boxsize to (1,4,1) in PlayerDatablock.
2.Make some collidable object.
3.move player to hit that object by front,side in vary of direction.

Thus, Bounding box is not relative to player orientation, it is relative to world.

It'd be nice if this could be changed.

This is not a bug,because the box is an axis aligned object,relative to the world unit vectors.

Greetings!

As Ivan mentioned, the Player's collision bounds are world axis aligned -- it is not rotated with the Player. This makes for very quick, first pass collision tests.

It would be nice to allow for other collision types -- capsule come to mind. But I do not believe this will change for 1.1 Final. It would make a great feature request, though! :)
