Dear Community,
I’ve just released two new nodes to help you with of your** collsion surface distance checks**!
These nodes let you easily tell how far a given point is from the actual PhysX surface of any UE4 game with collision / primitive component!
I’ve even given you a node that let’s you directly check the distance between the physical surfaces of two objects!
See pics!
These nodes work with Characters and Skeletal Mesh actors that have physics assets!
**Distance Between Surfaces Of Two Objects**
**World Point Distance To Collision Of Any **
**My C++ For You**
Here's the C++ code for my algorithm to get the distance between the colliding surfaces of any two objects!
```
float UVictoryBPFunctionLibrary::GetDistanceBetweenComponentSurfaces(UPrimitiveComponent* CollisionComponent1, UPrimitiveComponent* CollisionComponent2, FVector& PointOnSurface1, FVector& PointOnSurface2)
{
if(!CollisionComponent1 || !CollisionComponent2)
{
return -1;
}
//Closest Point on 2 to 1
CollisionComponent2->GetDistanceToCollision(CollisionComponent1->GetComponentLocation(), PointOnSurface2);
//Closest Point on 1 to closest point on surface of 2
return CollisionComponent1->GetDistanceToCollision(PointOnSurface2, PointOnSurface1);
}
