Adding collision component using entity's render asset as the asset at runtime

[jerryComo]

Hi - I’ve been trying this like so, but it’s not having any of it.

var asset = this.entity.render.asset;

    this.entity.addComponent('rigidbody', {

    type: 'static'

    });

    var collider = this.entity.addComponent('collision', {

            type: 'mesh',

            asset: asset.resource

    });

I was looking at this, although am aware this might now be out of date.

Adding mesh collision through code

I’ve been trying to add collision to my models in a previous topic, but I’m creating a new one as this is more specific. So I am trying to add mesh collision components to my models through code using this snipped: entity.addComponent('collision', { type: "mesh", model: this.entity.model.model, asset: this.entity.model.asset }); This works on a model (without collision component) placed in the editor, but not when I have loaded the model from web: this.app.assets.loadFromUrl(url,…

any help much appreciate…

Hi @jerryComo,

For a render asset you need to use the renderAsset property, and also pass the asset object as it is, no need to pass its resource property:

   var collider = this.entity.addComponent('collision', {
            type: 'mesh',
            renderAsset: asset
    });
