Oh, how I wish the search feature was working
I''m doing 3D collision detection/response for the first time, and have read up on the best ways of doing this. I''m using two great, and related articles that come highly recommended:
Generic Collision Detection for Games Using Ellipsoids - Paul Nettle, 2000
Collision Detection and Response - Telemachos, 2000
I''ve been trying to implement it in DirectX, and its all set up and ready to go, except for the most important part! I basically need to know how to use the
D3DXIntersect function to retrieve four values vital to the collision detection code, namely:
1) Whether a collision occurred
2) Distance to intersection point
3) Intersection point on sphere
4) Intersection point on polygon
I figure that:
1) This is simply the value returned through pHit
2) The value returned through pDist
3) SpherePos - PlaneNormal?
4) Something to do with the pU, pV return values?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanx,
