  • I need to make a pile of money!! (collision problem)

    Posted by Hamish Paterson on March 17, 2014 at 4:02 pm

    Hi there,

    I’ve got a client that wants a pile of coins filling up the screen. I’ve set up an Emitter firing the coins into a (not seen by camera) box. However, the individual coins aren’t stacking up to fill the screen, but instead are intersecting with each other. How can I prevent the coins from overlapping their geometry when they settle?

    Are you using dynamics?

    Yes – Dynamics Body Tag on the coins being emitted & collision on the box.

    you’d have to have Self Collisions checked On in the Dynamics Body tag Collision tab (which it is by default, perhaps that got unchecked somehow?)
