Actor.sweep, hit a plane
Hey,

here is what i try to do:

Player attacks; if weapon ( like knife ) hit the floor, draw a decal at the location hit.

Following the game basics - "17 - small overlays" tutorial

Code:
PhysHit phys_hit;
   if(Actor.sweep(Actor.pos(), &phys_hit))
   {
      if(phys_hit.group==AG_TERRAIN)
      {    
         Game.World.terrainAddDecal(WHITE, bullet_mtrl_id, Matrix().setPosDir(phys_hit.plane.pos, phys_hit.plane.normal).scaleOrn(0.05));
      }
   }

This code works fine for the collision ( detect at the right time, when touched the floor ) but the issue is the plan pos are at the wrong location.

attached screenshot :

sooo here my questions : is it better to create a fake ray of the lenght of the weapon ?
am i doing something wrong ? or is there another way ?

thanks

Hi,

I don't know what is what on the screenshot.

Perhaps the knife weapon actor sweep detects another actor first, and not the ground?

Can you provide a small physics based project that reproduces this issue and I would check what's wrong?

Edit:
forget what I said, I see that your code is wrong.
You pass a wrong parameter to the 'sweep' function, you specify the movement vector as the position?
you should pass the delta movement, something like (0,-0.1,0) or something, you could make it velocity or time dependent.

Oh, yes you are perfectly right, this is working fine now with (0,-0.1,0).

smile thanks for the help
