Collision PDU - open-dis/dis-tutorial GitHub Wiki

Collision PDUs are used to communicate collisions between two simulated entities or between an entity and an object in the simulated world. The collision PDU communicates the following information:

• Identification of the entity that issued the PDU
• Identification of the entity that the issuing entity collided with
• Event identification of the specific event marked by the collision of the entities.
• Information for damage determination. This information is used by each entity to determine the extend of collision damage, including velocity vectors, masses, location of collided object.
• Information identifying whether the collision was elastic or inelastic.
