How's it goin?

I just wanted to clarify which way's best to handle triggers in the physics engine. I see the SetGhost method on DynamicObject... seems perfect since I can just iterate collisions.

But...
"Ghost objects will still collide with the ground."

Is it possible to have triggers that stay where they're placed? Aren't affected by physics at all? Just basically censors/zones?

Gracias

Hi,

TA::DynamicObject::SetMovementDisabled(true) will do the trick.

Hmmm...... I gave this a shot, and it seems as though SetMovementDisabled() overrides the Ghost setting. This seems to be documented in the SetMovementDisabled() function: "This object will appear totally solid to other objects", however, this seems to mean it no longer works as suggested with trigger objects.

Is there another parameter or correct order to call these in to make them work? Thanks!

Yes, there is a problem there, the collision will be able to be found using the TA::DynamicObject::GetCollisionIterator function on the non ghosted object, but you wont beable to tell what object it actually hit and it wont show up in the processCollision functions.

This is fixed ready for the next release after 1.0.0.3

Great! Looking forward to that.
