Unigine::PhysicsIntersectionNormal Class

Header: #include <UniginePhysics.h>
Inherits from: PhysicsIntersection

This class stores all information on the point of physics intersection (coordinates of the intersection, the shape of the object, the index of the surface) plus the normal coordinates at this point.

Usage Example#

The following example shows how you can get the normal of the intersection point by using the PhysicsIntersectionNormal class. In this example the line is an invisible traced 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 PhysicsIntersectionNormal class to get the normal of the intersection point.
  • Check if there is a intersection with an object.
  • When the object intersects with the traced line, all the surfaces of the intersected object change their material parameters. The PhysicsIntersectionNormal class instance gets the normal of the intersection point. You can get it by using getNormal() function.
