 === <tt>!SetGearPosition(gearUid, x, y)</tt> ===
 Places the specified gear exactly at the position (`x`,`y`). Not to be confused with `SetGearPos`.
 
+=== `SetGearCollisionMask(gearUid, mask)` ===
+Set the collision mask of the given gear with `gearUid`.
+The collision mask defines with which gears and terrain types the gear can collide.
+
+`mask` is a number between `0x0000` and `0xFFFF` and used as a bitfield. The following flags are available (excerpt):
+
+|| *Flag* || *Effect* ||
+|| `0xFF00` || Terrain ||
+|| `0x0080` || Current hedgehog ||
+|| `0x000F` || Other hedgehogs ||
+|| `0x0070` || Mines and explosives ||
+
+Beware, the collision mask is often set by the engine as well.
+
+Example:
+```
+SetGearCollisionMask(gear, 0xFF7F)
+-- Ignore collision with current hedgehog
+```
+
+The full range of flags can be found in the engine source code (in Pascal):

+
+=== `GetGearCollisionMask(gearUid)` ===
+Returns the current collision mask of the given gear. See `SetGearCollisionMask` for an explanation of the mask.
+
 === <tt>!SetGearVelocity(gearUid, dx, dy)</tt> ===
 Gives the specified gear the velocity of `dx`, `dy`.
