Hi,

While I keep on learning Verge3d and developing my configurator, I try to find a solution to avoid the overlapping of my furnitures in the scene.

I’ve already read a post where it’s said that it’s currently possible only by programming, but I wanted to be sure that the Limit distance constraint in Blender actually can’t make it.

Otherwise, it would surely deserved to be a feature request for anyone dealing with several items.

Thank you and congrats for your work on this great program.

A Limit Constrain only limits the movement the object in the scene but it will not limit one object by another. To avoid interacton between two objects you can use Get Distance puzzle and when distance are to close just stop moving the object, but this solution is very inaccurate and will not respect the shape of the mesh.

I know this is old, but do you have the puzzles for this?

It depends on what you’re trying to do. There is a constraint puzzle in the animation tab. Also, you can use position and then calculate the math to set a better parameter.

C4cc, what exactly are you looking to accomplish?

3 things, actually. Without using physics puzzles.

1) I need to prevent a character model from passing/going through other character models, and level objects like floors and walls.

2) I need to calculate damage taken and caused by shots

3) I need to prevent shots being fired in the opposite direction, when the fire key is pressed at the wrong time of my character turning around

Why cant you use the physics puzzle?

for number two, I’d check the arcade racing demo, they do the something similar.

can you use a delay timer for number 3?

All of the solutions can be solved with physics.

Physics forces all objects to drop, and some of my models are flying/hovering. I also prefer some of my models to jump and land onto certain objects sometimes

What’s the problem to apply a force opposite to the gravity force? F=mg

The physics module is quite easy to use. The only serious limitation concerns scales: all physics objects should have their scale set to 1 along all axes.

Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.

If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.

Ok, I’ll try to use physics puzzles for now. I’m just not sure how to use it.

Also, I was just wondering if there was an easier alternative involving object puzzles, by preventing certain objects from entering the distance around certain other objects.

“Limit min distance” constraint.

I tried for blender, but sadly, It prevented my character from moving away as far as I wanted it to.

You limited max instead of min.
Inside – max allowed distance
Outside – min allows distance
On surface – constant distance.

Also you are free to use this puzzle to set constraints.

While these restraints indeed initially prevents characters from moving in a certain area, it causes characters to “roll” around said area’s origins when dragged.

I need a way to prevent certain characters from moving through objects

Well, you may try to find an alternative to physics or constraints. For now it doesn’t exist in Verge3D and most likely you’ll have to create it on your own
