Method ClosestTimesOnTwoLinesXZ

ClosestTimesOnTwoLinesXZ(Vector3, Vector3, Vector3, Vector3, out float, out float, double)

Finds the times of closest approach between two non-parallel trajectories.

Declaration

public static bool ClosestTimesOnTwoLinesXZ(Vector3 positionA, Vector3 velocityA, Vector3 positionB, Vector3 velocityB, out float s, out float t, double parallelTest = 5E-324)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Vector3	positionA	Starting point of object A.
Vector3	velocityA	Velocity (direction and magnitude) of object A.
Vector3	positionB	Starting point of object B.
Vector3	velocityB	Velocity (direction and magnitude) of object B.
float	s	Set to the calculated time of closest approach along trajectory A.
float	t	Set to the calculated time of closest approach along trajectory B.
double	parallelTest	(Optional) A custom epsilon value for teh parallel lines test.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	False if the lines are parallel, otherwise true.

Remarks

Two trajectories, which may or may not intersect, have a time along each path that minimizes the distance between trajectories. This function finds those two times. The same logic applies to line segments, where the one point is the starting position, and the second point is the position at t = 1. This function ignores the y components.
