Enabling Selective Surface-Based Collision
UnigineScript is deprecated and will be removed in future releases. Please consider using C#/C++ instead, as these APIs are the preferred ones. Availability of new Engine features in UnigineScipt is not guaranteed, as the current level of support assumes only fixing critical issues.
Surface-based collision using collision masks
This example shows how to enable collision detection for a surface using bitmasks. Two boxes (orange and yellow), each with a body and a box shape assigned, and a blue plane are created. We want the yellow box to collide with the surface of the blue plane and the orange box to pass through. So we set the following collision masks for the shapes of the boxes and for the surface of the plane.
Element | Mask |
---|---|
Yellow box: shape | 0010 |
Orange box: shape | 0001 |
Plane: surface | 0010 |
Surface-to-surface collisions cannot be enabled using collision masks.
