Hey Robert, I am trying to build an example based on the code you provided. All is going well except I notice you include "general.h" in your code.

I am assuming that in the line:

dist = LDistance(p0, hitpos);

LDistance is defined in general.h?

would you mind telling me what LDistance is defined as?

Can this be replaced with Len(p-p)?

Thanks a lot.

So if I want to check if a point has intersected with the triangle I call intersect_RayTriangle

and pass it the points of the triangle in question?

My routines are set to be initiated with a polygon object to test against but you can certainly alter it to take a point instead. In your case, I'd alter it to take the point and send the polygon object's triangles one at a time in which you want to test. Lemme see if I can attach the appropriate source file to a message.

I have one more question.
So the first step is to call init(MyObjectThatThepoint will collide with)?

Then I want to call Intersection () and pass it the point and the vector that determines the ray, what is the distance variable?

and by calling Intersection, that then calls intersect_RayTriangle to see if the intersection has happened?
and then returns the bool as to whether it has happened or not?

thanks,

Shawn

so that intersection can then call

Yes.
Distance is what is returned. In my case, I'm seeking intersection of two objects so the distance counts. In your case, you should be looking to see whether 'penetration' exists - the point is inside the object.
Yes.
Yes.
