Physics Wtf?

[Inferno]

I'm going to keep this short and simple. I'm more or less reworking the Kestrel for a map I'm making and I'm having issues with the physics. Specifically the fact that I can fly straight through the geometry in the map...

Ummmm... so... help?

[SnaFuBAR]

um, sounds like a collision model problem to me.

That's not physics....you have no collision model.

Edit: Beat me to it snaf

I thought the vehicles collision model had no effect on its interaction with the BSP. I thought the collision model was just for collision with players and projectiles.

No, the collision model interacts with everything, including the bsp.

Orly? So a new collision model should help fix this. I'll work on that.

Yea, just create a collision model and link it in the gbxmodel tag and it should work fine.

I've seen a kestrel with a collision model that had that problem. :/

[Inferno]

I just opened up the kestrel in max and its full of errors. Soooo anyone know where i can get a working kestrel physics/collision model. :rolleyes:

Why don't you try to fix the kestrel model?

[Inferno]

To tell the truth I don't really know how I'm going to fix it. I suck when it comes to physics and collision models for this kind of stuff. I don't understand how its all supposed to work internally so I don't know whats causing the error and therefore don't know how to fix it.

[FRain]

Why don't you try to fix the kestrel model?

Or, create a rough outline of the collision model.

If i can find my files, ill hook you up.

Goddamn, thats why it NEVER worked. I always thought it was a physics problem!

Isn't it the collision that controls the effects like bullets hitting it etc. The physics controls its interaction and effects with the BSP.

Shoot a vehicle without a collision but with a physics tag, it will act normal except you cant shoot it and you can walk straight through it, but you can still drive it.

E: Oops forgot to say how to fix. It's the physics tag you need to fix, not the collision.

Exactly. The same way the RPG_Beta3 kestrels Don't fall through walls and can be walked on but as soon as you drive them through Geometry, You're off. Some of those errors still are around in RPG_Beta5.

[Cortexian]

I actually sent WoL a fixed version ALONG time ago... Dunno why he never uploaded it.

[Inferno]

Send it to me Pl0x?

:lol:, wow Pl0x is a word according to my spell checker.

That's not physics....you have no collision model.

...
???
wtf r u guy's on?
its a dodgey physics model.
collision model only collides objects -> objects
physics model is collision from object -> world.
fix the physics model by..... hmmmm
changing the bounding radious in the physics to -1 at the top of the physics tag.
itll make all the difference

woops
OpSy beat me 2 it. but yeah atleast some1 else knows what there doing

You mean me, he quoted my post.
