Non-rigidbody Collision Detection

[accmltr]

Hi,

Is there a way to create shapes to detect other shapes, without being a part of the physics simulation? Something like the Area2D Node in Godot?

Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.

God bless,

Yes. There's a few ways to do this.

The first is to use the detect methods of the World class. These methods will accept an AABB or Convex.

The second way is to create a Body and as you add the Fixtures, set each of them to a sensor using setSensor. Then you can get collision notifications from the world listeners.

Thank you very much. I am yet to get started on integrating this into my project, but I just wanted to be sure before I go for it.

Looking forward to attempting it!
