Hi Todd, OSG-1.2 oh boy, that be a little out of date know. You have my sympathies. Being stuck on OSG-1.2 will limit the communities ability to help a bit as most will be on 3.x or later 2.x series releases. On the positive side the core scene graph in OSG-1.2 is pretty similar to that in OSG-3.x, the really big differences are in the viewer and extensions to the core OSG.
In terms of collision detection, the OSG even these days doesn't directly provide collision detection. in OSG-1.2 there is only view frustum culling and line intersection testing available. You can use the bounding volume classes osg::BoundingSphere (attached to Node) and osg::BoundBox (attached to Drawable/Geometry) that you can do tests with, and an osg::Polytope class that is used for view frustum culling that could potentially be reused. With all these different tools the key is getting point/line/volume tests in the same coordinate frames, usually this is done by transforming a world point into a local coordinate frame, or visa-versa. Traverses like the PickVisitor and CullVisitor do the accumulation of transforms through the scene graph so have a look at how they are managed. My guess is you will probably want to create your own custom visitor to do something similar. Robert.
