Currently, for example, when checking if a box (oriented bounding box) collided with a scene face:
Code:
if (box.intersects(face_plane)){ contact_point = face_plane.closest_point(box.position); if (face.contains_point(contact_point)) { // we have a contact }}
The problem with this is that I only get one contact point, even though the box might have been hitting multiple points on the face.
For example, http://66.253.147.225/images/physics.jpg If I initialize the box in the shown pose, it stays in that pose, and doesn't rotate to fall correctly on the floor.
