Distance to searched object greater than radius

[dbismut]

Hi Collin, great job building this.

I'm not familiar with spatial geometry, and I've tried experimenting your Octree for getting objects near another object.

When I run octree.search(object, 100)[0].position.distanceTo(object), I can get figures ranging up to 1300 as a result (objects are scattered randomly). Can that be normal behavior? I'll dig into it again, but if you have an idea why that might happen, that would sure help!

Can you provide a repo/gist with the code you're using to get these results? The first parameter to the search method should be a vec3 position, is that what you're passing in?

Hi Collin, thanks for your answer.

Yes sorry, in that case the first parameter is a particleSystem vertice, so a vec3 position.
I've made a codepen here: http://codepen.io/testprofile75/pen/pvgwJr, simplified everything (I've made the particles static and remove mouse interactions). What the pen does is it draws a line to the particles of particles[0] in a radius of 100. I'm also printing to the console the distance between particles[0] and the particles returned by the search with the octree.

Again, I'm not really familiar with THREE or 3D geometry, so sorry if this is a misunderstanding from me!

Hey, did you have the chance to have a look? Thanks!

Sorry, not yet. Lots of things are getting in the way right now, it may be some time before I can fully debug this :(

I'm also having issues with this. Has there been any progress on finding out what is going on here?

I also got this issue. The objects searched by Octree are far from the searching radius I set.
