A quick question about collide

[Jason Campbell]

This is strange, I added this to vehicleWheeled.cs in scripts/server to see what was happening and it only registers if I hit AIPlayer, Bouncy Rocks, AITurrets but not TSStatic shapes. I'll keep looking into this, I hope tonight.

 

function WheeledVehicleData::onCollision(%this, %obj, %col, %vec, %speed)
{
  // Collision with other objects, including items
  echo("car collision:",%col.getName());
}

It would seem someone decided not to have collisions with TSStatic's as they aren't really meant to be interacted with I guess.

The culprit is here:

https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/blob/development/Engine/source/T3D/vehicles/wheeledVehicle.cpp#L50-L55

Would have to add TSStatic there.

TSStatic is a StaticShapeObjectType, so that mask should detect it.

https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/blob/development/Engine/source/T3D/tsStatic.cpp#L108.

Edit: And it does, but LukasPJ is correct. Apparently it was decided that Vehicles should only generate collision callbacks for ShapeBase derived objects.

https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/blob/development/Engine/source/T3D/vehicles/vehicle.cpp#L1415-L1419

You could make your rocks StaticShape instead of TSStatic and get the callbacks.

I just tried to get StaticObjectType added to the mask. I added it and included tsStatic.h and it compiled without errors but still did not detect TSStatic on collision.

Think it was removed because TSStatics are just supposed to sit there.

@OTHGMars: probably that is the answer, using StaticShapes. OP could also mess about with Rigid Shapes and applyImpulse to the collision for some simple movement stuff.

What happens when you have a large city? I thought TSstatic was made to avoid all the overhead of the staticshape. I have vehicles crashing into buildings all over. My quick temporary fix

function PickupTruck::onImpact(%this, %obj, %col,%vec,%vecLen)

{

echo("IMPACT "@%obj SPC %col SPC %vecLen);

}

%vecLen does give me a value so I use that to put damage on the truck...
