Collision trouble

[digitaldarklord]

Greetings

I have trouble with viz.MainView.collision( viz.ON ) in combination with shaders:confused:

This works with the standard skydome.

But...

If I add another sky routine see the code snippet below
Yes and I know how to turn it on ;-)
# sky old style
env = viz.add(viz.ENVIRONMENT_MAP,'sky.jpg')
sky = viz.add('skydome.dlc')
sky.texture(env)
sky.disable(0x3000) #Disable clip plane on sky

# new style
#Add sky model
#sky = viz.add('sky.osg')

#Add textures
#horizon_tex = viz.add('horizon.png')
#horizon_tex.wrap(viz.WRAP_S,viz.CLAMP_TO_EDGE)
#horizon_tex.wrap(viz.WRAP_T,viz.CLAMP_TO_EDGE)
#cloud_tex = viz.add('clouds.png')
#cloud_tex.wrap(viz.WRAP_S,viz.REPEAT)
#cloud_tex.wrap(viz.WRAP_T,viz.REPEAT)

#Apply textures to sky
#sky.texture(horizon_tex,'',0)
#sky.texture(cloud_tex,'',1)

#Add shaders
#sky_vp = viz.add('sky.vp')
#sky_fp = viz.add('sky.fp')

#Apply shaders to sky
#sky.apply(sky_vp)
#sky.apply(sky_fp)

#viz.clearcolor(viz.GRAY)
#viz.fov(70,1.3)
#sky.translate(0,-400,0)
#CLOUD_SPEED = 1.0

When calling this routine is messes up the collision detection. I changed nothing added only the routine above called it from the timer so I am lost

Part 2 of this question.
In my app I created a helicopter flying a maze with a searchlight. So I added a nightmode with affect and uneffect. If you are in the light bundle the sky lights up also with this shader. bizar...

See the screenshots what I mean with this

Thanks for the post. Sorry we have not been able to give you an answer yet. We have had a busy few days but we we will try to respond early next week.

Sorry, I am not quite clear on your question. When you say that collision detection is messed up what exactly is happening.

Your intersection tests might be conflicting with the sky model. Try disabling intersections tests on the sky using the following code:sky.disable(viz.INTERSECTION)

To define it more clearly. When I use the code as posted here# the collsion is not working or something. When we use this code to generate nice moving clouds etc. The user is able to walk trough objects. (about a meter or so. If I use the more simple skydome code. The collision works normal. So my conclusion it has to do with the code as posted. Because I did not change anything else

Thanks

When I create a search light on the helicopter and let it travel in the room in the xyz grid. I see something strange happening. The light also lights up the skydome.

I do not understand it because I created the unaffect on in
sky.unaffect

Is it possible for me to view the complete code and load up this world here. You can email me at loomis@worldviz.com and I can give you directions for uploading.
