Hi, i have this situation :
I tried Havok collision but the asteroid did it :
the problem is that my game is from top view, and all objects are at same position in Y axis :
so, the question is :
1- Can I use havok only to detect collisions and manage the consequences of the collision myself…?
note : if not, my plan B is create some RayCasting around of figther (and asteroid against cruiser) :
i think tha a solution with havok is more elegant/optimal …
If you control the position/orientation of all your objects, you might use Havok with Animated bodies (aka Kinematic) objects and then use shapecasting for collision detection.
https://doc.babylonjs.com/features/featuresDeepDive/physics/shapeCast
if everything is animated by the physics engine, maybe you can use some constraints to make sure everything stays at the same Y but this seems a bit complicated.
Great, let me try to implement in my game :
yes, something like that. And when a proximity point is found, compare its distance to the center (top down projection) of the ship and its radius. if it’s < then you can add an impulse to compensate.
It’s not a collision. it’s a proximity shape cast. It computes the distance between 2 shapes, when < maxDistance.
yes sr, but the green sphere is not over a face correctly, like this :
in that case, this area will be marked as in collision…
Is the shape a convex hull?
this is a “convex hull” (the mesh with yellow wireframe)?
excuse me, I’m not familiar with that concept in English. (my native language is spanish)
It’s a convexhull in the PG:
const shape3 = new BABYLON.PhysicsShapeConvexHull(_mesh,scene);
Use a mesh shape instead.
Some infos on concave vs convex hulls : https://help.scribblemaps.com/hc/en-us/articles/11574387716365-Concave-vs-Convex-How-to-merge-polygons#:~:text=What%20is%20the%20difference%3F,beach%20ball%20or%20a%20basketball.
convex hulls are good for fast collision detection but in your case, you’ll need more detailed collisions because the ship mesh is very big compared to the player.
For the player, a convex hull is good enough.
Shape cast has been introduced recently, after 7.0 release
oh, i was working with 6.31, with 6.49 it is ok…
Ho! I was sure it was done later 
glad to hear you’ve found a version that works for you !
However it is not working :
Ship Mamba :
class ShipMamba {
//....
setMesh(_mesh){
// console.log( "player MAMBA en set mesh" );
this.id_radar_screen = gb_radar_screen.register(this.alias);

this.cast_result = new BABYLON.ProximityCastResult();
}//end of set mesh
collision(){
// console.log( "en colision", this.name );
//colision CON big player ? ...
if( big_enemy != null ){
player.cast_result.reset();
big_enemy.cast_result.reset();
// Perform a shape proximity query with the first shape
havok.shapeProximity(
{

},

);
console.log( this.cast_result.hasHit , big_enemy.cast_result.hasHit );
if (this.cast_result.hasHit && big_enemy.cast_result.hasHit) {
console.log( "hubo colis" );
const shapeLocalPos = this.cast_result.hitPoint;

// lines = BABYLON.MeshBuilder.CreateLines("lines", options);
this.hit_mesh.position = shapeLocalPos;
big_enemy.hit_mesh.position = worldHitPos;
}
}//
}//fin de colision
}
Cruiser ::
class Cruiser {
//....
setMesh(){
//....
//proximity point
this.mesh_collider.rotationQuaternion = new BABYLON.Quaternion(0,0,0,1);
this.shape = new BABYLON.PhysicsShapeMesh(this.mesh_collider,scenes[this.parent_scene]);

this.body.disablePreStep = false;
this.hit_mesh = BABYLON.MeshBuilder.CreateSphere(this.name+"_hit", {diameter: 0.15}, scenes[this.parent_scene]);
this.cast_result = new BABYLON.ProximityCastResult();
this.id_radar_screen = gb_radar_screen.register(this.alias);
// console.log( this.name,", mi radar id es ",this.id_radar_screen );
gb_radar_screen.show(this.id_radar_screen);
}
}
can you please repro in a PG?
I tried it with render mesh, because mesh_collider is a child of render mesh (I know it should be the other way around, that render mesh is a child of collider mesh)
Let me upload it on a pg.
Hi, here is placed :
It should look like your use case:
Many thanks, appears that it no have solution, i will try with rayCast.
( I need make collission bwtween 2+ custom meshes/colliders, basic shapes is not enought )
