Collision callback problem

[smashthewindow]

I have a big problem.

I need to call collision callback function every frame whenever a model is in contact with the ground.

However, whenever the body is inactive (or not-moving) the callback doesn't seem to get called.

Let me show you what I mean.

 

Now notice the UpdateCollision() function being called & the ball behind it being active (or moving) and shown in green in physics debug mode.

 

However, if you see the picture above, the function does not get called (should be called between PreUpdate() and PostUpdate()) when the ball in inactive. The ball is shown in red in debug mode.

 

Now is this normal or is it just a bug?

This functionality takes up a crucial part of the my game, and I can't find any other solution.

 

Thanks for taking interest.

So you have this set

But its only working if the entity is moving?

Yes.

I believe that is intended. But maybe what you can do, is pull a distance check from the entity that your ball collided with, and if its 0 assume the collision is still happening. ?

How would you check the distance check from the surface of a sphere?

I can only think of distance check from the sphere's center.

 

EDIT: Oh wait, EntityDistance()... will give that a go

EDIT2: EntityDistance( _ball, _ground ) is never returning 0... some value like 3.65 . Am I doing this right? This is insanely frustrating.

you should know the size of the entity, so yes, you would have to take that into account.

Ended up solving it completely differently, but thanks for the reply.

no problem. glad you solved it.

 

The objective was to solve your issue not be right.
