Question
I have 2 area3Ds (front edge area & back edge area)for detecting edge of the floor. If there is a physicbody (floor) in one and not the other then it would be the edge, using an edge_area bool.
I’m using this bool to associate my player’s conditions with it. eg,
-
When both areas are detecting the floor it should mean it is a flat floor (edge_area = false) and player can go into Crawl state
-
But if ONE of areas is not detecting anything then it is the edge (edge_area = true) player can only go into Crouch state.
-
If he is in crawl state and moves to the edge (edge_area = true) he will automatically goes into crouch state.
The problem is that this works fine when detecting primitive collision box shape BUT NOT for those imported collisions from Blender (using-colonly). On imported collisions if both areas are detecting floor the edge_area should return “false” but it returns “true” (therefore player can only go into Crouch but never Crawl on flat floor).
My tested code using signals:
func _on_front_edge_area_3d_body_entered(body: Node3D) -> void:
front_area = true
func _on_back_edge_area_3d_body_entered(body: Node3D) -> void:
back_area = true
func _on_front_edge_area_3d_body_exited(body: Node3D) -> void:
front_area = false
func _on_back_edge_area_3d_body_exited(body: Node3D) -> void:
back_area = false
func process():
if front_area == false and back_area == false:
edge_area = false
elif front_area == false and back_area == true:
edge_area = true
elif front_area == true and back_area == false:
edge_area = true
elif front_area == true and back_area == true:
edge_area = false
I have also tested with overlap_bodies() :
if front_edge_area3d.monitoring == true and back_edge_area3d.monitoring == true:
var overlapping_bodies_f = front_edge_area3d.get_overlapping_bodies()
var overlapping_bodies_b = back_edge_area3d.get_overlapping_bodies()
### if one of area not detecting floor
if overlapping_bodies_f.is_empty() or overlapping_bodies_b.is_empty():
edge_area = true
### if both are detecting floor
if !overlapping_bodies_f.is_empty() and !overlapping_bodies_b.is_empty():
edge_area = false
How should I go about this?
