  • QSF uses a collision flag system defined by a bullet library. This means that the engine flags collision objects for their types and for which types they should collide with in order to filter the collision detection.
    The flags used by QSF are defined in EM5/collision/CollisionTypes.h. A collision only may appear if both sets tested against each others filter mask are not zero. Since the flags are binary bitmasks they look pretty cryptic in the editor.


    The following categories are defined:
