Disable/Enable Collision's For Objects.

Postby socom » Fri Nov 21, 2008 8:22 pm

Hello, I have a quick question on collisions. Right now, I have a game that you can kill enemies and I would not make NewtonDestroyBody each time someone die, and would also not that they are collision objects anymore when they died. So my question is, there is no command like EnableCollision (body, true / false)?

Thank you very much!

Yes, you can disable collision between two bodies during material aabb callback, you tell the engine your specific body is no longer collideable and it won't collide.

Also what kind of bodies are you talking about? i delete and create a lot of sphere bodies in my game and it works fast and nice, just remember this is bodies and not collisions i am talking about.

I use collision body's for each character in the game, When one dies I want to make it "non-collide" object instead of distroy the body. Then when it "respawn" it simple gets collision again instead of create a new body.
