Collision
Collision detects camera-to-object contact using current view and NavigationInfo avatarSize. Collision is a Grouping node that handles collision detection for its children. Collision can contain a single proxy child node for substitute collision-detection geometry.
The Collision node belongs to the Navigation component and its container field is children. It is available since X3D version 3.0 or later.
Fields
SFNode [in, out] metadata NULL [X3DMetadataObject]
Metadata are not part of the X3D world and not interpreted by the X3D browser, but they can be accessed via the ECMAScript interface.
SFBool [in, out] enabled TRUE
Enables/disables collision detection for children and all descendants.
Hint
Former name "collide" in VRML97 specification.
SFBool [out] isActive
IsActive true/false events are sent when triggering the sensor. isActive=true when view-object collision occurs, isActive=false when view-object collision no longer occurs.
SFTime [out] collideTime
Time of collision between camera (avatar) and geometry.
SFVec3f [ ] bboxSize -1 -1 -1 [0,∞) or −1 −1 −1
Bounding box size is usually omitted, and can easily be calculated automatically by an X3D player at scene-loading time with minimal computational cost. Bounding box size can also be defined as an optional authoring hint that suggests an optimization or constraint.
Hint
Can be useful for collision computations or inverse-kinematics (IK) engines.
SFVec3f [ ] bboxCenter 0 0 0 (-∞,∞)
Bounding box center: optional hint for position offset from origin of local coordinate system.
SFNode [ ] proxy NULL [X3DChildNode]
Field proxy.
MFNode [in] addChildren
Input field addChildren.
MFNode [in] removeChildren
Input field removeChildren.
MFNode [in, out] children [ ] [X3DChildNode]
Grouping nodes contain a list of children nodes.
Hint
Each grouping node defines a coordinate space for its children, relative to the coordinate space of its parent node. Thus transformations accumulate down the scene graph hierarchy.
Description
Hints
- Proxy shapes are not rendered and remain invisible.
- Apply containerField='proxy' to uniquely identify the proxy child Shape or grouping node.
- PointSet, IndexedLineSet, LineSet and Text are not collidable geometry do not trigger collisions.
- Improve performance using proxy for simpler contact-calculation geometry.
- NavigationInfo types '"WALK" "FLY"' support camera-to-object collision detection.
- Insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance.
