Disable physics body for collision detection

Hi Alexander,

Thank you for your reply. Yes, exactly that – I’m trying to exclude overlapping objects from detection.

I’m using mechanics which roughly resemble those in the Snowball VR demo for grabbing the weapons. Where Weapon._setup_collisions updates the colliding weapons list from which the first colliding object is picked on left / right hand grab.

As things get more complicated than that, I have overlapping collision objects where it is unclear which one gets returned first when the hand touches them. Each one has its own properties along with a bool enabled / disabled for this purpose, but I was looking for a way to avoid collision detection completely (from the physics engine) for any disabled object.

Thanks,
Thomas

Hi Alexander,

thank you for pointing that out. Then I will try this approach.

When removing the physics body, any physics properties which where applied are removed, too, I assume. With ghost bodies that usually would be just the margin in my setup.

Thanks,
Thomas
