Attacher Collision

[Kraylos]

I’ve been working on a survival game for a while and I am trying to make a shield that rotates according to mouse position. Only problem is that I was using an attached object as the shield and it did not have any collision. Could this perhaps be added eventually?

Yes please I think it should be a thing you can toggle in the Attacher block.

This is not really a good idea.

@JR01

Collision on top of collision breaks some parts of the physics of the object, and I’m pretty sure it’s why its not allowed by default. I find this often when I was creating Joint Boss Test , where the inside object couldn’t move from the outside object, or it tries to push itself out in which can be broken physics
(see the Gif I sent above).

Then there could be a system where only the part of the attached object directly touching the attaching object has no collisions but the rest does

[JR01]

Several reasons why that wont work.

1. All collisions would have to count as Polygon and a Boolyean collision would need to be counted to remove the excess collision stacking.
2. Collisions area created when the game starts / when the object is spawned, so having a “live interactive collision” for specific objects (collisions) would be very difficult to do and is something Flowlab doesnt handle.
3. Why is having a collision on the attachment so important? There are many other ways to do this with the same results. (I want a real explanation)

1. I don’t get that.
2. Understandable, have a great day.
3. It’s way easier
