Going through wall despite setContinuousCollisionMode ?

In our game you can throw a ball. Normally it bounces on all objects, but sometimes it goes straight through the walls in our treecollision-object. The wall is one-sided, since it's never seen from the other side. The floor is one-sided too, but we haven't had any problems with the floor.

We have a material pair for the ball and the default material (which the wall has) where we use:

mMatPairDefaultBall->setContinuousCollisionMode(1);

Shouldn't this prevent the ball from going through the wall? It isn't anyway. Is there anything to do about this?

Thanks in advance,
Rune

use the debugger. tip: f3Eh, yeah. I often do. And I see the wall in wireframe. What do you mean exactly? As I said, the ball bounces on the wall most of the time as it should. It just occasionally doesn't.

Kinda useles post :cry:

1) TS may not be using the default framelisteners
2) TS did not ask howto show debugging lines
3) Why do you think that the TS doesn't know about this?
4) Etc

I've the same problem with my app. I think my problem is that the collisionlines aren't applied correctly (might be a bug too in either newton/OgreNewt). Post some screenshots and some people might be able to pinpoint it :lol:
