☑ addComponent collision issue

Help & Support
#1

Hello, i have found this suggestion for add a collision component to a entity

entity.addComponent("collision", {
    type: 'mesh'
});
entity.collision.model=modelAsset;

i thought it was more correct

var modelAsset = app.assets.find("bow.json", "model");
entity.addComponent("collision", {
    type: 'mesh',
    asset: modelAsset
});

any suggestion?

modelAsset - is an asset, if you do entity.collision.model = .. you attach asset, not model. Which is wrong.
What is actually a question?

#3

I see, so the right script must be entity.collision.model=entity.model; since the entity model is already defined, i noticed that in rigidbody i defined it as ‘Dynamic’ and didn’t work so i changed it to ‘dynamic’ and now fall through the ground, means collision don’t work, i tried to add enabled: true inside the addComponent but nothing changed … little lost

#4

entity.model - is a ModelComponent, not a Model.
If it falls through ground - means your ground has no proper collision.

#5

No the ground is ok, the problem is to write in the right way the entity.collision.model line. Since the modelAsset is an asset, the entity.model is a ModelComponent and use directly ‘bow.json’ doesn’t work too… i think i miss a notion

#6

Are you using the Editor? I think this should work:

this.entity.addComponent('collision', {
    type: 'mesh',
    asset: yourModelAsset
});
#7

You also need to add a rigidbody to the same Entity in order for collision to work… So also:

this.entity.addComponent('rigidbody', {
    type: 'static'
});
#8

i already set that as dynamic

#9

tryed this and still goes through ground :frowning: sigh

#10

Hi again, i have done a test, and i have got the problem:
if i create an entity with model + rigidbody + collision component it will fall through the ground, to solve that i need an entity with a rigidbody & collision components, and a child with the model, that way it works…awww… was tiring

Edit: but to attach it to the character i need to disable rigidbody and collision…headache
