Detailed Description

This component adds a collision model to its entity.

Note that the variables of this class (also referred to as "Public Attributes" or "Member Data") must be used with the get() and set() methods at this time – see get() and set() for details.

If you would like to create a new component of this type explicitly (those defined in the CaWE Map Editor are instantiated automatically), use WorldT::new():

local comp = world:new("ComponentCollisionModelT")

Implementing C++ Class:

cf::GameSys::ComponentCollisionModelT

Member Function Documentation

SetBoundingBox	(	number	min_x,
		number	min_y,
		number	min_z,
		number	max_x,
		number	max_y,
		number	max_z,
		string	MatName
	)

Sets the given bounding-box as the collision model.

Instead of loading a collision model from a file, a script can call this method to set a bounding-box with the given dimensions as the collision model.

Member Data Documentation

boolean IgnoreOrient

If true, the orientation of the entity does not affect the orientation of the collision model.

This is used with players, monsters and other NPCs whose world-space collision model must not change when they rotate (in order to not get them accidentally stuck in nearby walls).

Related C++ type:

bool

string Name

The file name of the collision model.
