Collision Detection

by Ian Omroth Hardingham · in Torque Game Builder · 01/26/2007 (10:33 am) · 2 replies

Ok, a couple of questions.

1. is there an easy way of having collision detection without collision response? I'd quite like an invisible circle which called a script onCollision function when something goes into it, but which doesn't push that obect back or anything.

2. Can I set the mass of objects? I have two things colliding and one is much smaller than the other, but is still pushing the big one too far.

3. I have my colliding objects on BOUNCE, but often in slow collisions two objects will become stuck together for a while. Is this a known bug, or is there a way I can stop that happening?

Many thanks,
Ian

You can eliminate the response by setting the response to CUSTOM which does nothing. CUSTOM is for writing your own response so you abstain from writing a response and it will do nothing.

You can also simply do it with a trigger (without enter and leave callback), it collide the same way as any sceneobject, but without any physics response from neither the sender or the receiver.
