[ODE] Trimesh collision problem

[Jürgen Ladstätter]

Hm ok I found the problem BUT I think thats a bug in ODE ...

This was the relevant code that returned NO collision
dContactGeom contact;
int asd = dCollide( ray, idTrimesh, 0, &contact, sizeof(dContactGeom) );

Changing it a little bit gives me the correct collision
dContactGeom contact[10];
int asd = dCollide( ray, idTrimesh, 10, contact, sizeof(dContactGeom) );

As I understood the wiki, if I set the 3rd parameter to zero and point a
single ContactGeom to the function it means that there can be only one
collision. Now changing that to 10 possible collision it returns me one
collision. That can't be right, can it?

Hi dave,

thanks for your help, but it still doesnt work. Maybe that’s because I use
ODE 0.7 binary release?

Btw neither in the WIKI nor in the official docu I found
dGeomTriMeshDataBuildSingle or %Single1 - where did ya find them?

An other question: vertexpoints should be 4*dReal, how can you pass a
pointer to your HsVector array? HsVector is a struct of 3 floats as you said
- not 4 floats,

Kind regards,

Actually no, I think I've spotted the problem -
dGeomTriMeshDataBuildSimple takes dVertex data which is actually an
array of quad-floats, rather than three.

If you see what dGeomTriMeshDataBuildSimple resolves to, it'll make more
sense:

    dGeomTriMeshDataBuildSingle1(g,
				Vertices, 4 * sizeof(dReal), VertexCount,
				Indices, IndexCount, 3 * sizeof(unsigned
int),
				Normals);

I use:

	dGeomTriMeshDataBuildSingle( g, p_vertex_data, sizeof( HsVector ),
		vertex_count, p_index_data, triangle_count * 3, sizeof(
UINT32 ) * 3 );

Where HsVector is a struct of 3 floats

Hope that helps!

Regards,
Dave
