How to prevent FPS weapon from going into obstacles

[Soamp]

Hi,

since we cant change the shape of controller from cylinder to an Ellipsoid cylinder, FPS weapon left outside the controller and penetrates into obstacles like attached pic.

 

Does anyone know a good way to prevent FPS weapon from going into obstacles?

 

I was thinking, if we can render hands and weapons in another place (or even another world) and then draw them on screen. but what can we do about lights , shadows , ...?

 

thanks in advance.

You could enable collisions on the weapon and the hand. That should prevent it from clipping into other objects.

Make an weapon up animation when it gets too close to walls. That's how Crysis does it too.

Set the weapon's material to be always drawn on top of all.

Or put it in another world and clear the depth buffer before rendering.

Lot's of ways to achieve this.
