Enabling Selective Surface-Based Collision
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.
