Colshape getElementsWithinColshape doesn't work

[Hubert005]

Hello everyone, I have the following problem. I create a ColCube and attach it to a container. Then I put another container on top of it. This one has 2 doors attached. Now the ColCube of the first container should locate the upper one with getElemntsWithin and say that there is a container above and the lower one is not selected. But only the upper one is free.

 

self is the container ingame object

function Container:constructor(zRotation, defaultDimension)
    self.activated = false
    self.defaultDimension = defaultDimension
    self.colshape = nil
    self.containerStartPosition = self:getPosition()
    self.zRotation = tonumber(zRotation)
    self.rightBorder = Object(3062, 0, 0, 0)
    self.leftBorder = Object(3062, 0, 0, 0)
    self.rightBorder:setAlpha(255)
    self.leftBorder:setAlpha(255)

    self.alreadyRotated = false
    self.checkColliderWidth = 3
    self.checkColliderSize = 7.05
    
    self.rightBorder:attach(self, 0, 3.4, -0.1)
    self.leftBorder:attach(self, -0.1, -3.5, -0.1)
    engineSetModelLODDistance(3062, 400)
end

function Container:setCorrectCheckCollider() -- Zum erstellen des CubeShape
    local attachFactor = self:getAttachFactor()
    self.colliderCheckCube = createColRectangle(0, 0, self.checkColliderWidth, self.checkColliderSize)
    if not (self:isRotatedToXAxis()) then
        local containerCheckColliderSize = self.colliderCheckCube:getSize()
        self.colliderCheckCube:setSize(containerCheckColliderSize.y, containerCheckColliderSize.x)
    end
    self.colliderCheckCube:attach(self, -1.5 + self:getOffsetCenterXAxis(self.checkColliderWidth), 3.5 + (self.checkColliderSize * attachFactor), 1.5)
end


function Container:isFree()
    if(self.colliderCheckCube) then
        local elements = self.colliderCheckCube:getElementsWithin("object")
        outputChatBox("#elements: "..#elements)
        if(#elements > 0) then
            for _, object in ipairs(elements) do
                outputChatBox("elements: "..object:getModel())
                if not (object == self or object == self.leftBorder or object == self.rightBorder or object:getModel() == 3798) then
                    self.colliderCheckCube:destroy()
                    return false
                end
            end
            return true
        else
            return true
        end
    else 
        return false
    end
end

Strangely, the isFree function often returns an object that is not in the container. Most of the time, however, the colshape does not recognize any objects in itself, although there clearly are some.

 

 

Have someone an idea?

Hello, unless im missing something i think the issue is the syntax, you wrotte

getElementsWithin("object")

instead of getElementsWithinColShape( colshape, "object" )

Hey @Spakye,

unfortunately this makes no difference also with getElementsWithinColShape( colshape, "object" ) I have the same result.
