Member Function Documentation

bool cCollisionAABB::computeCollision	(	cVector3d &	a_segmentPointA,
		cVector3d &	a_segmentPointB,
		cCollisionRecorder &	a_recorder,
		cCollisionSettings &	a_settings
	)			[virtual]

Return the nearest triangle intersected by the given segment, if any.

Check if the given line segment intersects any triangle of the mesh. If so, return true, as well as (through the output parameters) pointers to the intersected triangle, the mesh of which this triangle is a part, the point of intersection, and the distance from the origin of the segment to the collision point. If more than one triangle is intersected, return the one closest to the origin of the segment. The method uses the pre-computed AABB boxes, starting at the root and recursing through the tree, breaking the recursion along any path in which the bounding box of the line segment does not intersect the bounding box of the node. At the leafs, triangle-segment intersection testing is called.

Parameters:

	a_segmentPointA	Initial point of segment.
	a_segmentPointB	End point of segment.
	a_recorder	Stores all collision events
	a_settings	Contains collision settings information.

Returns:

Return true if a collision event has occurred.

void cCollisionAABB::initialize

(

double

a_radius = 0

)

[virtual]

Build the AABB Tree for the first time.

Build the Axis-Aligned Bounding Box collision-detection tree. Each leaf is associated with one triangle and with a bounding box of minimal dimensions such that it fully encloses the triangle and is aligned with the coordinate axes (no rotations). Each internal node is associated with a bounding box of minimal dimensions such that it fully encloses the bounding boxes of its two children and is aligned with the axes.

Parameters:

a_radius

radius to add around the triangles.

Reimplemented from cGenericCollision.

void cCollisionAABB::render

(

)

[virtual]

Draw the bounding boxes in OpenGL.

Render the bounding boxes of the collision tree in OpenGL.

Reimplemented from cGenericCollision.
