Collision Detection With Static Objects

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

How can I detect for a collision between 2 static objects? Can I use isSensor = true?

Hi @chrh02,

You can’t detect collision between 2 static bodies. In any collision, at least one body must be dynamic (or both). Box2D will not detect collision between static+static, kinematic+kinematic, or static+kinematic.

Depending on your situation, there should be a way to handle it. I’ve not found any collision scenario where I wasn’t able to resolve it somehow. :slight_smile:

Hope this helps,

Brent
