Where is the collision testing?

Hello,

I searched the code (obviously not long enough or not systematically) for the part where the collision of the avatar is tested against its surroundings.

Usually the avatar either climbs up or goes through solid walls.. but where is this decided in the code?

Could you please provide some hints?

Thanks a lot,
Marcus

Start in TAvatarReplica fall (which is part of each driveStep)

It doesn't do collision detection with walls;
it follows the ground using some heuristics about detecting
the appropriate ground based on the avatar position.

The avatar carries a TRay (downPointer) that uses
ray pick to locate that ground.
