(solved) Collision box definition

[taikedz]

Hello

I am trying to find where collision_box is defined, and what its individual numbers represaent but cannot seem to see either in rubenwardy's guide nor on dev.minetest wiki any formal/detailed description....

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

collisionbox = {-0.5,-0.5,-0.5, 0.5,0.5,0.5},


I tried changing them all to 1 or 2 on a test entity but the collision box remained the same.

What do the numbers mean...?

The numbers define the two corners of the box that the player collides with. These are relative the to center of the entity. The center of the entity is the position you get if you call get_pos().

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

collisionbox = { --[[first corner]] x,y,z, --[[second corner]] x,y,z}
collisionbox = { x,y,z,x2,y2,z2}


The sample you gave would produce a 1*1 meter collision box where the center of the entity is in the middle of the
collision box.

Great thanks - I am pretty sure the brief trials I did ddin't make a diference, but if your notes are indeed the case, then I should probably look harder!

EDIT -- it was due to a typo. Grr.

i encounter the same issue. i can't change the collision box. "collisionbox = {-0.2,-0.4,-0.2, 0.2,0.35,0.2}," still gives me a basic 1*1*1 box.

oh sorry i found my error

'collsion_box' instead of 'collisionbox'
