Distance between shapes

[kozakromch]

Hello, thanks again for such a wonderful library. It's really cool and stable.
I'm wondering if there is a way to get the minimum distance between the shapes?
I am especially interested in a task like this:
I have one object and I need to find another object with the minimum distance. I found out that the api allows to make a ray cast, but it is not always close to the real distance. And as far as I know, GJK allows to calculate the distance between objects, so I'm not sure if there really isn't such a possibility or if I haven't found it.
Thank's in advance

You can use the CollideShape function (either on Shape or NarrowPhaseQuery) and pass in a CollideShapeSettings object with mMaxSeparationDistance > 0. You'll then receive hit results with a negative penetration depth, indicating how far away the closest point is.
