How to find objects within a certain distance of a point?
by Alex Stittle · in Torque X 3D · 01/21/2009 (7:21 pm) · 5 replies
For TX3D, is there a way to find all objects in a given distance from a given position?
Basically, something similiar to the 2D method T2DSceneGraph.Instance.FindObjects

Thanks for the find. I tried the following but I didn't get any ResultList, it is always null. Admittedly, I'm not too sure what I'm doing haha. Can anyone shed some light?T3DSceneContainer sceneContainer = new T3DSceneContainer(_playerSceneComponent.SceneGraph);
T3DSceneContainerQueryData queryData = new T3DSceneContainerQueryData();
Vector3 min = Vector3.Add(_playerSceneComponent.Position, new Vector3(-100,-100,-100));
Vector3 max = Vector3.Add(_playerSceneComponent.Position, new Vector3(100,100,100));
queryData.WorldBox = new Box3F(min, max);
sceneContainer.FindObjects(queryData);
if (queryData.ResultList != null)

I would definitely be interested to know. Definitely could be useful for some things.

So after looking through the code I found exactly what I was looking for.

So I decided to re-visit this today since it started to bug me not using it in my game. And man do I feel like a noob, I totally forgot that the FPS Demo has explosions in it!So after looking through the code I found exactly what I was looking for.
Here it is in all it's simple glory:
// The sphere we want to check in the world for objects
SphereQueryData _sphereData = new SphereQueryData();
_sphereData.Radius = 2.0f;
_sphereData.Position = _playerSceneComponent.Position;
_sphereData.IgnoreObject = this.Owner;
// Scan the world using the RigidManager and populate the
// results into our query
if(_rigidComponent.RigidManager.CollisionScene.QuerySphere(_sphereData))
{
// Loop through the results and do what we want
for (int i = 0; i < _sphereData.ResultList.Count; i++)
{
...
}
}

Nice! Thanks for looking into it. I'll definitely remember that when T3D is out.Brian
