How to detect collision object name

[grol]

Hi, I have different elements against my character can collision. All of them are btBvhTriangleMeshShapes, and I am using raycast to detect the proximity to the objects. My question is that I don't know which object has been touched by the raycast, because I don't know how to put/get names to the shapes/rigidbodies.

Maybe it sounds stupid, but I've been reading the API and I've found the getName() for shapes, but it retrieve "Box" ....

Is there anyway that I can put a name to a collision object and retrieve it from the raycast collision?

Thanks in advance!

well, for the moment I've add the name attribute to the btRigidBody (I love open source!)

Anyway If is there a stablished solution and I'm missing something I would be appreciate to know.

Thanks!

There's a getUserPointer / setUserPointer in btCollisionObject which you can set to whatever you wish, probably most useful to have it point to the corresponding object in your own code.

wow, I didn't realized.

I'll change it.

Thanks!
