Instant move of PlayerSpectator

[Gryphon_de]

Hello!

I have player spectator on position1.

I need to move it to position2 as soon as possible, but I can't use setWorldPosition() method since in this case any collision influence will be ignored.

How can I do this?

+1 to this question.

How can we move physics-enabled bodies with specified trajectory but with full collision, gravity, etc. calculation?

Use Body::setPreserveTransform method for this purpose. See https://developer.unigine.com/en/docs/1.0/code/scripting/library/physics/class.body#setPreserveTransform_mat4 for reference.

 

In case of physical PlayerActor it will look in the following way:

Body body = player_actor.getBody();
body.setPreserveTransform(new_transform);

PlayerSpectator has no body inside it and its collision behavior is much simpler.

So you can just apply transform and call updateControls() to recalculate collisions.
