How to Set object typeMask?

by Peter Siedle · in Technical Issues · 02/01/2006 (2:24 am) · 3 replies

Hi Guys

just a quick one I hope.
How do you specify an objects typeMask?

A search for typeMask in forums tells me how to get the typeMask, but not how to set / specify it!

Cheers

So nobody knows!
Seems strange that it's an available option for collision testing if nobody uses it!

It's set in source code during an object's constructor.

One of the reasons that you may have not gotten an answer (and please dont' take this the wrong way):

I honestly had no idea exactly where it was set in the object. I opened up an editor that allows for "Find in Files", typed in "typemask", and found the answer within 15 seconds--it took me longer to write this email!
