BoundingFrustum.Contains(BoundingSphere)

BoundingFrustum.Contains(BoundingSphere)

The method is incomplete, one solution could be:

// changing this method
    float PlaneHelper::PerpendicularDistance(Vector3 point, Plane plane)
    {
        float result = plane.D+ Vector3::Dot(plane.Normal,point);
        return -result;
    }

    ContainmentType::ContainmentType BoundingFrustum::Contains(BoundingSphere sphere)
    {
        float val;
        ContainmentType::ContainmentType result = ContainmentType::Contains;

        vector<Plane> planes = GetPlanes();  // array of Planes 
        for(int i=0 ; i < planes.size(); ++i){
            val = PlaneHelper::PerpendicularDistance(sphere.Center, planes[i]);
            if (val < -sphere.Radius)
                return ContainmentType::Disjoint;
            else if (val < sphere.Radius)
                result = ContainmentType::Intersects;
        }
        return result;
    }

sorry, it's in C++
