B2.Fixture:setFilterData
Available since: Gideros 2011.6
Class: b2.Fixture
Description
Sets the contact filtering data. This will not update contacts until the next time step when either parent body is active and awake. The filter data definition is given as an ordinary table. The fields of the filter data table are:
- categoryBits: (number) the collision category bits. Normally you would just set one bit
- maskBits: (number) the collision mask bits. This states the categories that this shape would accept for collision
- groupIndex: (number) collision groups allow a certain group of objects to never collide (negative) or always collide (positive). Zero means no collision group. Non-zero group filtering always wins against the mask bits

Parameters
filterData: (table) the table containing the categoryBits, the maskBits and the groupIndex
