No response collisions

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/No response collisions

The blitz collision system is great but I'd like to have collision with no response i.e. I don't want my source object to stop. I want to merely detect a collision has occured and take appropriate action based on that. Is there a way to do this or should I be using LinePick and checking the distance in front of the source object to check for such collisions?

This gets asked quite a bit. Second post in this thread...

...lists the three main ways of getting no-response collisions.

eMan i had the same thing, i had to make a work around

cube moving to sphere,

if cube hits sphere then RESETENTITY(CUBE) that will report a collision, but will effectivlly go through it

Just use if EntityCollided (myEntity, myCollisionType) then .... and take whatever action you fancy.

Thanks for the help. I tried using the parent pivot approach but I couldn't get it to work. It was a bit messy. I instead used the Area Collision library by David Bird. This approach works very well and you can see the collision boxes if needed.
