How to compare 2 individual colliders?

Hi,

In the documentation it notes:
Queries can be performed against individual colliders or against an entire collision world

I can find ample examples of how to check vs the world.
But how do u check 2 individual colliders?

 

Each collider has its own implementation of queries. For example, take BoxCollider. You have CalculateDistance or ColliderCast which take some query input structs to which you can provide another collider and simply do a query on those two. You also have CalculateDistance from a point, and CastRay if you wish to raycast against a collider.

Is that what you were looking for? I know we need to add examples of this, the same we have for queries against the whole world, but we just never got to it.

 

Not entirely

i have a job like so:

entities.foreach(in physicscollider body, in target t)

{

       var t = getcomponent<physicscollider>(t.value);

       // now i want if (t.intersectswith(body))



      //(i currently do this by checking vs the world, and then filtering the hitlist by t's entity)

}

 

So instead of

physicsWorld.CalculateDistance

, you can call

body.Value.Value.CalculateDistance

.
Just be careful about the Start and End values for the distance input struct as this query in is 'body''s space rather than the worlds.

 

Am i correct in assuming that in order to check if they "currently" overlap (this frame) i should set the maxdistance to 0?
And the transform property?

 

Yes, use MaxDistance = 0 for current overlaps.
