Enabling Selective Surface-Based Collision

Surface-based collision example

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
Notice
Surface-to-surface collisions cannot be enabled using collision masks.

In the AppWorldLogic.h file, define smart pointers for the objects of our scene.

Source code (C++)
// AppWorldLogic.h

#include <UnigineObjects.h>
/* .. */

class AppWorldLogic : public Unigine::WorldLogic {
	
public:
	/* .. */

private:
	Unigine::ObjectMeshStaticPtr box1;
	Unigine::ObjectMeshStaticPtr box2;
	Unigine::ObjectMeshStaticPtr plane;
	Unigine::PlayerSpectatorPtr player;
};

Insert the following code into the AppWorldLogic.cpp file.

Notice
Unchanged methods of the AppWorldLogic class are not listed here, so leave them as they are.
Source code (C++)
#include "AppWorldLogic.h"
#include "UnigineGame.h"
#include "UnigineObjects.h"
