getHeightAtCoordinates() doesn't work when using ground octrees

[Galen]

Hello and welcome to the forum!

I recall that this was addressed on the last forum. Here’s the topic:

How to detect avatar is on the ground?

I wonder if some of us could work on a collision system (non-physics) that could cut up a massive scene, like a city, into small chunks and then do collisions with them. Really I wouldn’t go with the scene-centric angle, and instead would just make some sort of fancy data structure to which stuff is added in chucnks, but that may just be semantics. The octrees that are already available might work, I’m not sure. One issue though is that the meshes we put in these games aren’t really ready to be …

If you would like further info on this, then reply and I’m certain you’ll get a more specific answer. The question I would have is what do you want to do with the reported height coordinates?
