The triggering path gives the node sequence from the root of the graph to
the object collided with Sunny and it does have what you want, you just
have to take it a bit further.
What you actually get back is a SceneGraphPath object. The final item in
the path is the one you want. You can get this with the method
getObject(), so
SceneGraphPath sg = wEnter.getTriggeringPath();
Node collidedNode = sg.getObject(); //Object causing collision
This is from a collision detector I'm working on at the moment. This bit
seems to work, even though others don't.
You can cast the node into an appropriate object if you either know what
the object _must_ be or by interrogating it.
Hope this helps.
