Jumping through platforms

by Xibz · in Torque 3D Professional · 04/07/2011 (4:21 am) · 6 replies

Hello,

I've been looking through the source code for a couple days now, and still can't manage to figure how to implement this. I think I may be going about it wrong.

Possibly a point to the right direction would be quite nice, thanks

One way collision? If you remove the faces at the bottom of your collision mesh, you should be able to jump through. Not sure this is the end result you want tho.

Hope it helps =)

Wouldn't that result in a concave collision geometry? Perhaps if the collision mesh is only a plane - have to try and see.

Yeah, but unlike TGE and TGEA, concave collision geometry actually works. You could do it with planes as well, but a box is basically 6 planes, so you will get the same effect :P

You could implement a collision timeout code,like the Item class.

I'll check out the timeout code, and see what I could do. But I had thought of actually just making a platform as an object type and using the time out code, but I had interpreted that the timeout code would be a hassle for platforms of different heights.

But after re-looking at it, it seems I had read it wrong. I will try to implement it this way, however is it better to just make a object type as a platform or implement the time out code?

Or does it really matter?

Sweet - I was unaware. Useful indeed!
