disableCollisionWith

Description

Disable collision between provided objects. The collision is always disabled for both objects in the arguments.

Important

• this command does not disable collision between PhysX objects
• this command has to be executed where objects are local, and as long as they do not 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
• the feature works by having an object registering a reference to the other object; this command stores such reference on both objects - see Example 3

Syntax

vehicle1 disableCollisionWith vehicle2

Parameters:

• vehicle1: Object
• vehicle2: Object

Returns: Nothing

Examples

Example 1

player disableCollisionWith myWall;

Example 2

[_veh1, _veh2] remoteExecCall ["disableCollisionWith", 0, _veh1];

Example 3

// this command stores a reference to the other object on both arguments:
_obj1 disableCollisionWith _obj2;    // _obj1 has a reference to _obj2, disabling collision with it
                                    // _obj2 has a reference to _obj1, disabling collision with it

// only one reference is required to disable collision, allowing more than one disabled collision
_obj1 disableCollisionWith _obj3;    // _obj1 has a reference to _obj3, disabling collision with it
                                    // _obj2 has a reference to _obj1, disabling collision with it
                                    // _obj3 has a reference to _obj1, disabling collision with it
                                    // factually, _obj1 has collisions disabled with _obj2 and _obj3

// note that _obj1 collision can be changed without using the command on it directly
_obj2 disableCollisionWith _obj3;    // _obj1 has no more reference to _obj3 and can collide with it
                                    // _obj2 has a reference to _obj3, disabling collision with it
                                    // _obj3 has a reference to _obj2, disabling collision with it
