SetPhysicsDebugOn() will show the collision shape(s) but i believe you have to use a SetSpriteShape command or SetSpritePhysicsOn()

Thank you!

Can't find this command for the life of me!

I'm like, no way there would not be such command, how do you do collision shape blind?

that's part of why i dont do 3D so much.

meanwhile, there's some overlap in the 2d physics and sprite commands that you mighta noticed now

and, some like to mix 2d physics and 3d

Unfortunately there is no function to show the collision shape
What I did in this thread was "sprinkle" cubes over an object so i could see the collision shape

isn't the 3d shape itself a collision shape?

or can it be define separately?

Or do you mean a mesh view like in other game engine?

For 3D SetObjectShapeStaticPolygon() will help if you have static objects. By default if you bring in an object it will be a square box around the shape.

But dynamic objects are a different beast. For example if you made a cool container thing in Blender and you want it to be dynamic and move around and then put other cool 3d dynamic object thingys inside it, you will be disappointed to see that an invisible lid has been placed by AppGameKit and all the thingys fall off to the side.

SetObjectShapeCompound() is your answer to create invisible boundaries to represent where you want the real boundaries to be. When you call the command it will wipe the existing object shape and you replace it with pieces like AddObjectShapeBox() or AddObjectShapeSphere(). Note that the documentation is WRONG when it refers to world coordinates for positioning the compound shapes, the coordinates are based on the object itself.
