Detailed Description

Surface-material classification shared across collision, raycasts, VFX, SFX, and damage falloff.

Lives in the physics layer because primitives carry a per-instance SurfaceType (cooked from Blender material names) that drives the downstream gameplay systems. Projectile.hpp re-includes this header to preserve the existing #include "Projectile.hpp" paths that read the enum.

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ SurfaceType

enum class SurfaceType : uint8_t

strong

Surface material hit by a projectile / hitscan / contact.

Cook-time mapping (Blender material name → enum, case-insensitive):

mat_metal → Metal
mat_concrete → Concrete (also the default for unprefixed names)
mat_flesh → Flesh
mat_wood → Wood
mat_energy → Energy

Unknown / unprefixed materials fall back to Concrete, matching the hard-coded behaviour of the original (pre-Phase-3) raycast code.

Function Documentation

◆ surfaceTypeFromMaterialName()

SurfaceType surfaceTypeFromMaterialName ( std::string_view name )

nodiscardconstexprnoexcept

Parse a Blender material name into a SurfaceType.

Accepts either the bare suffix ("metal") or the mat_ prefix ("mat_metal"). Case-insensitive. Returns Concrete for unrecognised input — matches the pre-Phase-3 default behaviour so missing material tags never break a map.

◆ surfaceTypeName()

std::string_view surfaceTypeName ( SurfaceType s )
