Ok, i will test this quickly.

but the first thing i can see is that you are only returning 1 value.
it should be "hitID,posX,posY,posZ = physics.ray.....()", this might have something to do with it.

Watch out when raycasting to a cameras position as the line may look like it isn't in the center and slightly offset, but it will be lol Best thing to do is disable the cameras and check raycasts are hitting that way, then enable the camera

Edit: rayFromPointToPoint() is working, but it is not colliding. Looks like i forgot to normalise the direction before sending it through physics. Also i have flipped the direction as it was needing a negative range to point at the target.

Edit: The ID to ID was working fine but suffered the same direction not being normalised error.

I will send you a pm in 5-10 mins

Hi ant0N,

Did you get this working correctly?

I'm basically using this:

Code: Select all

hitID, posX, posY, posZ = physics.rayFromIDToID ( rayID, objID, tgtID, 50 );


It returns the correct hitID from STATIC meshes (i.e. "PRB is Dynamic" = FALSE in PhysX Properties), but returns "-1" when "PRB is Dynamic" = TRUE?

Thanks

Hi, Shando!
rayFromIDToID works well.
with rayFromEntityToEntity and rayFromPointToPoint there are problems, but they will be solved in next release Skyline.

rayFromIDToID works well.

Unfortunately it returns -1 for me when using a moving entity

Am I calling it correctly, with this:

Code: Select all

hitID, posX, posY, posZ = physics.rayFromIDToID ( rayID, objID, tgtID, distance );

@Shando, are you using the latest patch release i sent you before we went away? or is this the actual 0.9.5 release exe.

As we fixed this problem for antON in a patch that will be released in the next versions.

@SP, I'm using the latest version you sent me
