PxGeomRaycastHit

Defined in include/geometry/PxGeometryHit.h

Inheritance Relationships

Base Type

public PxLocationHit (PxLocationHit)

Derived Type

public PxRaycastHit (PxRaycastHit)

struct PxGeomRaycastHit : public PxLocationHit 

Stores results of raycast queries.

PxHitFlag flags can be passed to raycast function, as an optimization, to cause the SDK to only compute specified members of this structure.

Some members like barycentric coordinates are currently only computed for triangle meshes and height fields, but next versions might provide them in other cases. The client code should check flags to make sure returned values are valid.

PxRaycastHit PxSweepHit

Note

For raycast hits: true for shapes overlapping with raycast origin.

Note

For sweep hits: true for shapes overlapping at zero sweep distance.

Public Members

PxReal u

PxReal v: barycentric coordinates of hit point, for triangle mesh and height field (flag: PxHitFlag::eUV)

PxHitFlags flags: Hit flags specifying which members contain valid values.

PxVec3 position: World-space hit position (flag: PxHitFlag::ePOSITION)

PxVec3 normal: World-space hit normal (flag: PxHitFlag::eNORMAL)

PxF32 distance: Distance to hit.

Note

If the eMTD flag is used, distance will be a negative value if shapes are overlapping indicating the penetration depth.

Note

Otherwise, this value will be >= 0

PxU32 faceIndex: Face index of touched triangle, for triangle meshes, convex meshes and height fields.

Note

This index will default to 0xFFFFffff value for overlap queries.

Note

Please refer to the user guide for more details for sweep queries.

Note

This index is remapped by mesh cooking. Use PxTriangleMesh::getTrianglesRemap() to convert to original mesh index.

Note

For convex meshes use PxConvexMesh::getPolygonData() to retrieve touched polygon data.
