Cylinder cast or raycasts with radius?

Hi all,

I know I can do a Raycast to query for collision with bodies, but is it posibble to have a ray cast with a radius?. It is good for example to test big bullets like plasma balls, etc...

Thanks in advance,

im not sure with a radius, but you can test within a bounding box:

the upcoming version 2.0 of Newton will feature the ability to raycast any collision shape... so you can cast a sphere for a wide raycast, or any other shape... pretty cool.

I'm not sure when it will be released though. hopefully soon.

This is really good news!!!!. I think I will go by now with a simple raycast...


HexDump.

really nice

is newton archimedes = newton 2.0?

yeah.
