In order to not clutter up other topic I thought I would separate this. Basically I am trying to do a 3d point in triangle test but I am getting a false positive. I have the point (p, (1.5, 2.0, 0)) that I want to test against a triangle, which is built clockwise with the verticies v1(4, 0, 4), v2(4, 0, 0) and v3(0, 0, 0). I was reading the algorithm in http://www.blackpawn.com/texts/pointinpoly/default.html . Basically right away you could tell by just looking at the points that the point is not in the triangle because it is not on the same place. In the following code I do not do a point in plane collision check because the way I read the algorithm the cross product (from same side) does not make this necessary. Could someone take a look at the code and see what I may be doing wrong?

D3DXVECTOR3 vTestPoint(1.5f, 2.0f, 0.0f);
D3DXVECTOR3 v1(4.0f, 0.0f, 4.0f);
D3DXVECTOR3 v2(4.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
D3DXVECTOR3 v4(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);

bool sameSide(const D3DXVECTOR3& p1, const D3DXVECTOR3& p2, const D3DXVECTOR3& a, const D3DXVECTOR3& b)
{
	D3DXVECTOR3 cp1, cp2;
	D3DXVec3Cross(&cp1, &(b-a), &(p1-a));
	D3DXVec3Cross(&cp2, &(b-a), &(p2-a));

	if(D3DXVec3Dot(&cp1, &cp2) >= 0)
		return true;

	return false;
}

bool checkPointInTriangle(const D3DXVECTOR3& point, const D3DXVECTOR3& pa,const D3DXVECTOR3& pb, const D3DXVECTOR3& pc)
{
	if(sameSide(point, pa, pb, pc) && sameSide(point, pb, pa, pc) && sameSide(point, pc, pa, pb))
		return true;

	return false;
}

Ah, this issue is now fixed. Thank you for the help =)

I was thinking of different ways it could work, but I did fix the problen. Thanks for looking into it though
