Unigine::PhysicsIntersection Class
| Header: | #include <UniginePhysics.h> |
This class stores the result of the physics intersection (coordinates of the intersection, the shape of the object, the index of the surface). If you need information on the normal at the intersection point, use the PhysicsIntersectionNormal class.
Usage Example#
The following example shows how you can get the intersection information by using the PhysicsIntersection class. In this example we specify a line from the point of the camera (vec3 p0) to the point of the mouse pointer (vec3 p1). The executing sequence is the following:
- Define and initialize two points (p0 and p1) by using the Player::getDirectionFromScreen() function.
- Create an instance of the PhysicsIntersection class to get the intersection information.
- Check, if there is an intersection with an object with a shape or a collision object. The getIntersection() function returns an intersected object when the object intersects with the traced line.
- In this example, when the object intersects with the traced line, all the surfaces of the intersected object change their material parameters. If the object has a shape, its information will be shown in console. The PhysicsIntersection class instance gets the coordinates of the intersection point and the Shape class object. You can get all these fields by using getShape(), getPoint() functions.

|---|---|
| PHYSICS_INTERSECTION = 0 | PhysicsIntersection object, which stores basic information on the intersection point (coordinates of the intersection, the shape of the object, the index of the surface). |
| PHYSICS_INTERSECTION_NORMAL = 1 | PhysicsIntersectionNormal object, which stores the same information as the PhysicsIntersection object plus additional information on the normal at the intersection point. |
| NUM_PHYSICS_INTERSECTIONS = 2 |
