Hi there,

I am struggling with my implementation of a Capsule surrounding the character and collisions versus AABBs and OBBs.

The problem I have, that I cannot figure out how to deal with this.

I already implemented Capsule vs Sphere which is quite easy (Point vs Segment). But vs a Box I do not have a constant value like the radius.

What I did so far:

- find the nearest point on the segment to the center of the box (dunno if this is useful at all)

- detect collision (which is more or less just a box vs box test)

- I thought about Seperating Axis Theorem, but doesn't it only work on boxes or not round objects?

Hoping for a push in the right direction :)

Thanks.

Haha I don't know why, but after posting this I cam up with a solution :)

I first find the nearest point on the segment from there I treat the check like a sphere vs box collision.

That happens to me sometimes. There must be something about explaining the problem that helps you find the solution.

Actually it's pretty common once explaining a bug you find the solution.
