ProximityZone.InRange(ProximityZone) Method

Top

Description

This method tests the intersection of two ProximityZones. Supported combinations are Ellipsoid/Ellipsoid, Ellispoid/Sphere, Sphere/Sphere, and Box/Box. Other combinations will yield run time errors.

Returns a value of 0 if the two volumes do not intersect, and returns a value of 1 if there is intersection.

Since the evaluation is instantaneous, care must be taken to adjust the propagator step size such that events of interest aren't skipped over.
