Camera Collision

Troubleshooting General Help
1

I have a room in wich I can move around wich a firstpersonhandler. But if I walk into a wall, I go through it. How I can find out if there is any collision between my cam and the wall? :?

hallo?

Hey there! Please have a look at this which will teach you how to do such things :slight_smile:



Also, you can use a camnode (which is implemented for jME3 here) and make that physical.

is there a way for jme2?

Yes, two clicks away, also in the wiki.

Hello,

I’m writing third person shooter and met some problems.

I’ve created a CameraNode object that work fine except for collision.

I want to know is my camera colliding in any moment with walls or other scene elements (this.collideWith(scene, results)), but resuts.size() is always zero.



Could you help me make it work or maybe there is another solution? Thanks.

@tkey: Please post your code.

I presume that ‘arena’ is the ray that you are casting?

If not, then this should work:



[java]Ray ray = new Ray(cam.getLocation(), cam.getDirection());

arena.collideWith(ray, results);[/java]
