Collision Slide Effect for 3DS Objects

[Daikrys]

another question:

can i use my sample to make a plane to sphere(or circle) slide collision?
is that easier? how to?

Sorry but i don't have time to check code (nor i have glscene). I took i quick look on the vector unit and it seems ok at fist sight.

The system i explained above should work with 3d also (just use 3d vector math instead of 2d).
Plane/sphere collision should be easy too. You need a function that calculates the distance between a sphere and a plane. If the plane is perpendicular to the axis (is horizontal or vertical) than it's trivial, if it's arbitrary oriented then you need some more math.

Once you have the distance D, you check if D is smaller than the radius of the sphere. If it is, they collide.

ok iam back again

i found the failure i have
i used the wrong function for the compenetration d

so a little problem/failure i have is when i collide to slide
i used for the new Vector coordinates
[pascal]
a,v: TVector;
...
a:=add(a,v);
[/pascal]
and not
[pascal]
a:=sub(a,v);
[/pascal]
when i use sub the Vector a and b will be the same and i see only one
circle and cant move :cry:
but when i use add i can "slide" but on slide my circle step back?
example:
i slide in direction right the circle step right AND back
but the step back is the failure :cry:

here the short code:
[pascal]
var
d: Double;
v: TVector;
...
d:=distv(a,b)-0.6; //0.6 are the value of size+size

if d<0 then // if collide
begin
Form1.Caption:='yeah';
// find vector distance (it will have length=distance, no good, must be normalized)
v:=sub(a,b);
// normalize the vector, now direction is ok, and length is 1
normalize(v);
// make length equal to compenetration value
multiply(v,d);
// ok, now vector points from a to b, length d. We subtract from position
// so it will be pulled away
a:=add(a,v);

end else Form1.Caption:='no';
[/pascal]

Thanks u helped me so much, i wouldnt figure it in a year :roll:

Umm i don't understand very well the problem. could you post an executable so that tomorrow i can try it at work? Maybe with the latest sources.
I wont be able to compile but maybe i can find the problem the same.

Well maybe you could check that 0.6 if it's really size+size.. It could be that it's wrong and when you scale v by d you get a value too large that makes your circle bump on the other. (shooting in the dark here )

Bye!

first a picture for help

when a collision is the Vectors position are:



at the red cross was the collision

later i post the exe and source

this are the vectors a collide by the red cross
i draw v for better understanding
note: this is an original screenshot from the programm

at tomorrow i post my exe and source

Bye

[Daikrys]

i did it :mrgreen:

i change the function add to the following:
[pascal]
function add(v1,v2: TVector): TVector;
begin
result.x:=v1.x/5 + v2.x;
result.y:=v1.y/5 + v2.y;
result.z:=v1.z/5 + v2.z;
end;
[/pascal]

then how to do a slide collision with a moving shpere and a static plane?
a plane have 5 vectors(include the center point), or?

[Daikrys]

ok i uploaded it here:
http://daikrys.funpic.de/collide.rar

i hope u have a look :roll:

the slide isnt very smoothed :?
but i dont know how to get it smoother

Thanks, bye

huh? :scratch:

no new posts?

sorry, i've been quite busy..
At first sight the problem seems to be one of:
- a rounding problem: probably you round some float value to integer, but you're working with values in the range of 0.5 so rounding will loose precision. I'm quite sure this is the problem but i couldn't find where it is in the code.
- a scale problem: maybe you're using too big values for radius, distances, etc. Try and control them.

Bye!
