dynamic HitBeamResult?

[Panch]

Hello all,

I currently have 2 functioning weapons in my FPS, the basic laser from mazing, and an actual projectile that I've built. But when I try to get a HitBeamResult of the projectile mesh it's just not returning anything:

Code:

void Time::CheckHit (iMeshWrapper* WeaponSprite)
{
csSectorHitBeamResult rc = WeaponSector->HitBeamPortals (
  WeaponStart, WeaponSprite->GetMovable()->GetFullPosition());

Is the code for the rc, but when I check rc.mesh, I don't seem to hit anything. I don't want to simply do:

Code:

void Time::CheckHit (iMeshWrapper* WeaponSprite)
{
csSectorHitBeamResult rc = WeaponSector->HitBeamPortals (
  WeaponStart, WeaponEnd);

Because then the rc will be a straight line and the hit will occur before my weapon mesh intersects the target mesh which isn't what I want for the projectile. It's ok for the laser because the laser uses a static mesh.

Any ideas?

TIA!

What kind of mesh are you using? Can you describe a bit more what exactly you are doing? I'm not sure I understand the problem fully.

Hey Jorrit,

Thanks for the response. I recently figured it out, the mesh was a genmesh generated in-code. The only problem was that I was checking for collision at the time of mesh animation start, not during (each frame). Once I added the CheckHit function to my Handle function which gets processed each frame it works just fine!

Thanks
