Is there a way to trigger a user-defined function whenever an object collides with another? For example, in my game engine, each entity class has an OnCollision() function. It would need to be triggered whenever the entity's associated collision object collides with another.

PS, the object will usually not be a ghost.

For each dynamic object, you can obtain a collision iterator after each update that will give you all the collisions for that object during the last update. You can then look through all of the collisions and trigger the appropriate functions accordingly. Hope that helps.

There have also been some new call back functions added in version 1.0.0.3 to TA::Physics. SetPreProcessCollisionCallBack and SetPostProcessCollisionCallBack. These can also be used.

Excellent, thanks.

What exactly are the semantics of thise collision callback functions?
are they called for each collision event separately or will they be called when all collisions for a physicobject are calculated?

[luke]

These functions are called for each individual collision.

If there are multiple collisions between 2 objects, the functions will get called multiple times, once for each collision between the 2 objects.

Cool, thanks a lot
