Jolt Generate Collision Component

The Jolt generate collision component automatically creates a static collision mesh from the render meshes produced by a spline mesh component on the same game object.

Because spline meshes are procedurally generated from a set of render mesh pieces, there is no single pre-authored collision asset that can be assigned by hand. This component solves that by mapping each render mesh piece to a corresponding Jolt collision mesh asset, then assembling the collision geometry to match the generated spline mesh exactly.

Setup

1. Add a spline mesh component to a game object.
2. Add a Jolt generate collision component to the same object.
3. For each render mesh piece used by the spline mesh component, add an entry to the Mesh Mappings list:
   • Render Mesh: The render mesh asset used in the spline mesh component.
   • Collision Mesh: The corresponding Jolt collision mesh asset (triangle mesh).
4. Set the Collision Layer to the appropriate collision layer.

Render mesh pieces that have no mapping entry will not produce any collision geometry.

Component Properties

• Mesh Mappings: List of render-mesh-to-collision-mesh pairs. Each entry maps one render mesh to one Jolt triangle collision mesh.
• Collision Layer: The collision layer assigned to the generated static actor.
