Find if two triangles are touching each other! To find the edges of a polygon.

Hello,

I need help trying to find if two triangles are touching each other. If vertices are repeated twice in the mesh triangles setup it means they are connected. I then try to calculate the direction between each vertices of the mesh to remove the Vector3 direction which is the sides of the two triangles that are touching each other… which leaves me the edges of the polygon quad… the thing is it doesn’t seem to be working… anyone got any ideas?

The code is based on two examples of mesh cutting. One from MGear found here http://1darray.com/blog/2011/08/09/fake-mesh-slicer-v3-0/ and one from YouTube found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgoUmrhXyYE. My goal was to find a way of cutting objects and I couldn’t figure out how to put back triangles where they shouldve been. although the code below is far from beeing perfect it moves Vertices at the point of the cut made with a Struct plane. It doesn’t work from all angles and it lags as hell. Some vertices were not following the cut i was making but by removing 3 if’s statements: worldPt0 == currentVert && worldPt1 == currentVert && worldPt2 == currentVert It works ok but with lag. Sorry for the long code. If anyone got any ideas on how to make this better and got the time to check it feel free to give an input. Sorry for the long code. Thank you, Nine.
