Polysoup Overlapped objects collision failure
by Ron Nelson · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 05/19/2008 (10:42 pm) · 14 replies
These are just simple boxes to make a quick walk way. If you look at the corner you can see they are just pushed together overlapping. When I walk from one to the other the collision fails. If I jump to the other, the collision passes.

is this an official bug or something?

Yes i have seen this, i had 2 polysoup boxes intersecting and the player fell through one as it passed from one box to the other (if i jumped or not) ....... so your not going crazy ;)is this an official bug or something?

Sounds like a pretty serious bug. I would like to see it resolved before I switch anything over to Polysoup.

Now if we can just get some sort of word from polysoup expert types.

Well I think you might be a bit premature in thinking I am not crazy Neil, heheh, but thanks. Its good to see its not just me.Now if we can just get some sort of word from polysoup expert types.

Well its been about a week since I posted this so I thought I would see if anyone from Garage Games would like to give an input on it.

Almost another week later, just wanted to see if if any of the GG folks had an answer.

A month later and I am back to this. Anyone have an idea?

Why do you have overlapping faces? It's my understanding that this is a design no-no, since it introduces a variety of potential ugliness into your level...

I've experienced this only on overlapping coplanar faces. Once I corrected my geometry, it worked fine.Why do you have overlapping faces? It's my understanding that this is a design no-no, since it introduces a variety of potential ugliness into your level...

The example above is an exaggerated example of what I am seeing. If two polysoup objects are even touching, one will fail for collision.

I experience this as well, I have two dock pieces with a fringe so I can connect them together, when walking from one to the other I simply fall through the second one. I'll take a look at it when I get the chance, since I need this functionality, but I haven't really got much experience with the polysoup code. Still, I'll let you know if I find anything. :)

Cool. I would, but I must admit I am heavily tasked on a more vital area to my game at the moment.

Has anyone had any success in resolving this issue yet? ( Side note: it appears not to affect projectile collisions - only player collision)

Sorry I gave up on Polysoup and moved to PhysX with Triangle Mesh Cooking. The collisions are faster and more reliable. I nearly have the code put together as an addition to the resource already available which I will release after I get it all working.
