collide

[7up]

Hello all.

I ‘d like to use collide by vizard.
For study, when adding and moving avatar in physics2.py of help, a problem occurred.
If avatar collides while the box is moving, it will react, but when the box has stopped, avatar will pass through a box.
While a ball is crashed, avatar doesn't strike. It is why?

Thanks for your help.

You could try using a collideBox shape on the avatar instead and removing the following line:
avatar.disable(viz.DYNAMICS)

Thanks very helpfull!
