Re: [Virtools] Physics Car Collision

["Araya" <araya@easynet.fr>]

Hi Matthias,

It is written in the Physics Car html documentation:
"As the collision group name can not exceed a given length (8 characters),
beware not to have the same 8 first characters for your car body names (if
you have several cars)."
So maybe your problem came from this. If your two cars have the same first 8
characters for their name , ex: "my wonderfull car 01" and "my wonderfull
car 02", the collision group for the 1st car will be referenced under the
name "my wonde", and the collision group for the 2nd car will also be
referenced under the name "my wonde", so they won't collide with each other.
Try to give your first car the name "car01" and give your second car the
name "car02" .

Hope this help,

Araya
