		const core::vector3df &	gravityDirectionAndSpeed = `core::vector3df(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f)`
	)

pure virtual

Collides a moving ellipsoid with a 3d world with gravity and returns the resulting new position of the ellipsoid.

This can be used for moving a character in a 3d world: The character will slide at walls and is able to walk up stairs. The method used how to calculate the collision result position is based on the paper "Improved Collision detection and Response" by Kasper Fauerby.

Parameters

selector	TriangleSelector containing the triangles of the world. It can be created for example using ISceneManager::createTriangleSelector() or ISceneManager::createTriangleOctreeSelector().
ellipsoidPosition	Position of the ellipsoid.
ellipsoidRadius	Radius of the ellipsoid.
ellipsoidDirectionAndSpeed	Direction and speed of the movement of the ellipsoid.
triout	Optional parameter where the last triangle causing a collision is stored, if there is a collision.
hitPosition	Return value for the position of the collision
outFalling	Is set to true if the ellipsoid is falling down, caused by gravity.
outNode	the node with which the ellipsoid collided (if any)
slidingSpeed	DOCUMENTATION NEEDED.
gravityDirectionAndSpeed	Direction and force of gravity.

Returns: New position of the ellipsoid.

◆ getRayFromScreenCoordinates()

virtual core::line3d<f32> irr::scene::ISceneCollisionManager::getRayFromScreenCoordinates	(	const core::position2d< s32 > &	pos,
		const ICameraSceneNode *	camera = `0`
	)

pure virtual

Returns a 3d ray which would go through the 2d screen coordinates.

Parameters

pos	Screen coordinates in pixels.
camera	Camera from which the ray starts. If null, the active camera is used.

Returns: Ray starting from the position of the camera and ending at a length of the far value of the camera at a position which would be behind the 2d screen coordinates.

◆ getSceneNodeAndCollisionPointFromRay() [1/2]

virtual ISceneNode* irr::scene::ISceneCollisionManager::getSceneNodeAndCollisionPointFromRay	(	SCollisionHit &	hitResult,
		const core::line3df &	ray,
		s32	idBitMask = `0`,
		ISceneNode *	collisionRootNode = `0`,
		bool	noDebugObjects = `false`
	)

pure virtual

Perform a ray/box and ray/triangle collision check on a hierarchy of scene nodes.

This checks all scene nodes under the specified one, first by ray/bounding box, and then by accurate ray/triangle collision, finding the nearest collision, and the scene node containing it. It returns the node hit, and (via output parameters) the position of the collision, and the triangle that was hit.

All scene nodes in the hierarchy tree under the specified node are checked. Only nodes that are visible, with an ID that matches at least one bit in the supplied bitmask, and which have a triangle selector are considered as candidates for being hit. You do not have to build a meta triangle selector; the individual triangle selectors of each candidate scene node are used automatically.

Parameters

ray	Line with which collisions are tested.
outCollisionPoint	If a collision is detected, this will contain the position of the nearest collision.
outTriangle	If a collision is detected, this will contain the triangle with which the ray collided.
idBitMask	Only scene nodes with an id which matches at least one of the bits contained in this mask will be tested. However, if this parameter is 0, then all nodes are checked.
collisionRootNode	the scene node at which to begin checking. Only this node and its children will be checked. If you want to check the entire scene, pass 0, and the root scene node will be used (this is the default).
noDebugObjects	when true, debug objects are not considered viable targets. Debug objects are scene nodes with IsDebugObject() = true.

Returns: Returns the scene node containing the hit triangle nearest to ray.start. If no collision is detected, then 0 is returned.

◆ getSceneNodeAndCollisionPointFromRay() [2/2]

virtual ISceneNode* irr::scene::ISceneCollisionManager::getSceneNodeAndCollisionPointFromRay	(	const core::line3df &	ray,
		core::vector3df &	outCollisionPoint,
		core::triangle3df &	outTriangle,
		s32	idBitMask = `0`,
		ISceneNode *	collisionRootNode = `0`,
		bool	noDebugObjects = `false`
	)

inlinevirtual

Perform a ray/box and ray/triangle collision check on a hierarchy of scene nodes.

Works same as other getSceneNodeAndCollisionPointFromRay but returns less information. (was written before the other getSceneNodeAndCollisionPointFromRay implementation).

Parameters

ray	Line with which collisions are tested.
outCollisionPoint	If a collision is detected, this will contain the position of the nearest collision.
outTriangle	If a collision is detected, this will contain the triangle with which the ray collided.
idBitMask	Only scene nodes with an id which matches at least one of the bits contained in this mask will be tested. However, if this parameter is 0, then all nodes are checked.
collisionRootNode	the scene node at which to begin checking. Only this node and its children will be checked. If you want to check the entire scene, pass 0, and the root scene node will be used (this is the default).
noDebugObjects	when true, debug objects are not considered viable targets. Debug objects are scene nodes with IsDebugObject() = true.

Returns: Returns the scene node containing the hit triangle nearest to ray.start. If no collision is detected, then 0 is returned.

◆ getSceneNodeFromCameraBB()

virtual ISceneNode* irr::scene::ISceneCollisionManager::getSceneNodeFromCameraBB	(	const ICameraSceneNode *	camera,
		s32	idBitMask = `0`,
		bool	bNoDebugObjects = `false`
	)

pure virtual

Get the scene node, which the given camera is looking at and whose id matches the bitmask.

A ray is simply cast from the position of the camera to the view target position, and all scene nodes are tested against this ray. The collision tests are done using a bounding box for each scene node.

Parameters

camera	Camera from which the ray is cast.
idBitMask	Only scene nodes with an id which matches at least one of the bits contained in this mask will be tested. However, if this parameter is 0, then all nodes are checked. feature is disabled. Please note that the default node id of -1 will match with every bitmask != 0
bNoDebugObjects	Doesn't take debug objects into account when true. These are scene nodes with IsDebugObject() = true.

Returns: Scene node nearest to the camera, which collides with the ray and matches the idBitMask, if the mask is not null. If no scene node is found, 0 is returned.

◆ getSceneNodeFromRayBB()

virtual ISceneNode* irr::scene::ISceneCollisionManager::getSceneNodeFromRayBB	(	const core::line3d< f32 > &	ray,
		s32	idBitMask = `0`,
		bool	bNoDebugObjects = `false`,
		ISceneNode *	root = `0`
	)

pure virtual

Returns the nearest scene node which collides with a 3d ray and whose id matches a bitmask.

The collision tests are done using a bounding box for each scene node. The recursive search can be limited be specifying a scene node.

Parameters

ray	Line with which collisions are tested.
idBitMask	Only scene nodes with an id which matches at least one of the bits contained in this mask will be tested. However, if this parameter is 0, then all nodes are checked.
bNoDebugObjects	Doesn't take debug objects into account when true. These are scene nodes with IsDebugObject() = true.
root	If different from 0, the search is limited to the children of this node.

Returns: Scene node nearest to ray.start, which collides with the ray and matches the idBitMask, if the mask is not null. If no scene node is found, 0 is returned.

◆ getSceneNodeFromScreenCoordinatesBB()

virtual ISceneNode* irr::scene::ISceneCollisionManager::getSceneNodeFromScreenCoordinatesBB	(	const core::position2d< s32 > &	pos,
		s32	idBitMask = `0`,
		bool	bNoDebugObjects = `false`,
		ISceneNode *	root = `0`
	)

pure virtual

Gets the scene node, which is currently visible under the given screen coordinates, viewed from the currently active camera.

The collision tests are done using a bounding box for each scene node. You can limit the recursive search so just all children of the specified root are tested.

Parameters

pos	Position in pixel screen coordinates, under which the returned scene node will be.
idBitMask	Only scene nodes with an id with bits set like in this mask will be tested. If the BitMask is 0, this feature is disabled. Please note that the default node id of -1 will match with every bitmask != 0
bNoDebugObjects	Doesn't take debug objects into account when true. These are scene nodes with IsDebugObject() = true.
root	If different from 0, the search is limited to the children of this node.

Returns: Visible scene node under screen coordinates with matching bits in its id. If there is no scene node under this position, 0 is returned.

◆ getScreenCoordinatesFrom3DPosition()

virtual core::position2d<s32> irr::scene::ISceneCollisionManager::getScreenCoordinatesFrom3DPosition	(	const core::vector3df &	pos,
		const ICameraSceneNode *	camera = `0`,
		bool	useViewPort = `false`
	)

pure virtual

Calculates 2d screen position from a 3d position.

Parameters

pos	3D position in world space to be transformed into 2d.
camera	Camera to be used. If null, the currently active camera is used.
useViewPort	Calculate screen coordinates relative to the current view port. Please note that unless the driver does not take care of the view port, it is usually best to get the result in absolute screen coordinates (flag=false).

Returns: 2d screen coordinates which a object in the 3d world would have if it would be rendered to the screen. If the 3d position is behind the camera, it is set to (-1000,-1000). In most cases you can ignore this fact, because if you use this method for drawing a decorator over a 3d object, it will be clipped by the screen borders.
