Description

Description:

Disable collision between vehicles. This command doesn't disable collision between PhysX objects. The collision is always disabled for both objects in the arguments, i.e. vehicle1 with vehicle2 and vehicle2 with vehicle1

⚠

Command has to be executed where objects are local, and as long as they don't change locality, the effect of this command will be global.

If the two objects are not local to the same computer, then it has to be executed on both computers to achieve the desired effect.

If one or both objects change locality, the command needs to be executed again on the new owner's machine(s) to maintain the effect.

⚠

Each object can only reference 1 other object for disabled collision. In OOP languages (like C#), this would be equivalent to:

obj1.disableCollisionWith = obj2; obj2.disableCollisionWith = obj1;

This means that an object can only be involved in only 1 pair for disabled collision. So obj1 can have disabled collision with obj2, obj3, ..., objN. But if objN wants to disable collision with another object objM, it cannot have a disabled collision with obj1 anymore. Because objN would then be involved in 2 pairs: [obj1, objN] and [objN, objM].

ⓘ

Try to think of this command as if it forms a two-way link between disabled objects, and keep in mind that each object can only have 1 link with another object. As long as at least a one-way link exists, collision remains disabled:

// Arrows show disabled collision with _obj1 disableCollisionWith _obj2; // _obj1 <-> _obj2 _obj1 disableCollisionWith _obj3; // _obj1 <-> _obj3 and _obj2 -> _obj1. Thus _obj1 has disabled collision with _obj2 and _obj3 _obj2 disableCollisionWith _obj3; // _obj2 <-> _obj3 and _obj1 -> _obj3. Now _obj1 and _obj2 will collide, because the link was broken.

disableCollisionWith is basically a script that when you apply it to an object, and your unit can go through it like a ghost. However, if you wish the object to be solid again, you may wish to use enableCollisionWith.
An example for this is:

// name of unit in editor such as player1 // name of object in editor such as barrel1 barrel1 disableCollisionWith player1; // to make the barrel solid again, do this as vice versa if you know what you are doing! barrel1 enableCollisionWith player1;

On a side note: this can come in handy a lot if you want a unit to sit on the back of a car or on top of a container
