Question
how to check if rigid body is on floor is it possible?!?
pls anybody
You will need contact monitoring on and at least 1 max contacts reported. The most accurate way would be to use _integrate_forces and iterate over contacts looking for a “up” facing normal vector.
func _integrate_forces(state: PhysicsDirectBodyState3D) -> void:
var on_floor: bool = false
var i := 0
while i < state.get_contact_count():
var normal := state.get_contact_local_normal(i)
on_floor = normal.dot(Vector3.UP) > 0.99 # this can be dialed in
# 1.0 would be perfectly straight up
# 0.0 is a wall
# -1.0 is a ceiling
i += 1
A less accurate way would be using on_body_entered signal and check if the other body is lower on the y axis.
im still kinda new. what is contact monitoring
a property of rigid bodies
ok. now would the function you made above return anything? how would i use it in the context of
if on_floor:
jump
The function above is an override of RigidBody3D’s _integrate_forces it cannot return anything. Data to be shared from this function needs to be stored elswhere, like a global variable. Also, multiple collisions might not be on the floor so some extra logic to merge per-frame collisions should help.
var on_floor: bool = false # now global!
func _integrate_forces(state: PhysicsDirectBodyState3D) -> void:
on_floor = false # reset on_floor for this physics frame
var i := 0
while i < state.get_contact_count():
var normal := state.get_contact_local_normal(i)
var this_contact_on_floor = normal.dot(Vector3.UP) > 0.99
# boolean math, will stay true if any one contact is on floor
on_floor = on_floor or this_contact_on_floor
i += 1im getting this error
Parser Error: The function signature doesn’t match the parent. Parent signature is “_integrate_forces(PhysicsDirectBodyState2D) → void”.
nvrm just had to change from Vector3 to Vector2 also changed PhysicsDirectBodyState3D to PhysicsDirectBodyState2D. how do i call this function now
1 Like
it will be called automatically every physics frame. much like how func _process is called every frame automatically.
i did this and it only says false
func _physics_process(delta):
print(on_floor)
i know that the function is running, the function just isnt working
Might be too accurate/particular 0.99 is little tolerance, might be running the function too often for non-physics processes to catch it. To try an deduce which let’s use the last floor touched time instead
var on_floor_time: int = 0 # now numeral!
func _integrate_forces(state: PhysicsDirectBodyState3D) -> void:
# we do not reset time
var i := 0
while i < state.get_contact_count():
var normal := state.get_contact_local_normal(i)
var this_contact_on_floor = normal.dot(Vector3.UP) > 0.99
if this_contact_on_floor:
on_floor_time = Time.get_ticks_msec()
break
i += 1
Now printing the on_floor_time should show a number other than zero at some point, otherwise our 0.99 really is a stickler and should be reduced. Try some incrementally lower numbers until it feels right.
now its just giving me 0 i tried changinmg the number but it didnt work
Strange, my minimal tests are working even with 0.99 (thinking about it more > 0.0 would be prefered aka “not a wall”). Are you sure contact monitoring is on and there is at least 1 max reportable contact?
that was the problem. i turned on contact monitoring and 1 max reportable contact (didnt work) then i turned on cast shape and now it works. thanks
is there a way to change the tolerence? example: if rigid body is like 10 pixels away from ground it still becomes true
I would say shrink the collision shape, a higher physics tick rate might also help but you would have to take the time since last floor hit approach.
