PositionEntity without collisions

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/PositionEntity without collisions

Is there a way to place an entity with PositionEntity (or similar function) without a collision?

All this time Ive been safe from needing no-response collisions, now I can understand what a problem it is!!!

You can change an entity's type before calling PositionEntity to prevent collisions from being detected.

Are you asking for no collision detection at all or no-response collision detection?

I wanted no detection, but only for the initial placement of my object.

Then set EntityType to something without Collisions setup, call PositionEntity, and then set EntityType back to what it was.

Thanks Joe, it wan't a PositionEntity problem after all though (though your solution will come in handy I'm sure!)

The actual issue was a strange 'bug' with the Collision detection - Ive posted here for info.

just set the collision type after the first updateworld

Try with ResetEntity command... that will reset collision state.
