Collision sucks testicles.

[Hunter]

I have made a bubble sheild model, exported it, and compiled it into a .gbxmodel.

Then I put another sphere into the scene, made it the same size as my bubble sheild sphere, but this time put the segments down to about 17. So I have a nice low poly collision model. I then deleted the higher poly bubble sheild sphere.

I linked my new sphere to the frame, and exported it to equipment\bubblesheild\physics.

Now I am just getting this stupid error:

EXCEPTION halt in .\import_collision_bsp\build_collision_bsp.c,#387: global_plan

Funny thing is, it usually works, and if I export my higher poly bubblesheild model to the SAME place as my collision model, it compiles fine... and I don't get that error....

Wtf...

Last time I got that error, I had 2 spheres, one inside the other facing opposite directions. I fixed it by connecting them at the bottom.

Tool doesn't like spherical collision models for some reason. Try a 6-segmented sphere.

This. I have done the same thing.

[Hunter]

Worked, cheers. One more question. How do I get the acter_varient to spawn in sapien so I can test it?

[Inferno]

Set up a encounter save and then refresh the ai's or just type ai_place "name of encounter"

[Hunter]

What do i need to animate on this? And animation? What do I name the animation? How many frames?

[Inferno]

Uhhhhh what are you animating. I haven't really read the entire thread.

[Hunter]

Well, im making the bubble sheild out of a biped like most people do nowa days, but it needs animating, sapien says, and it needs head and body markers but it wont work when i add them in the model...

Ive been told to add them with guerilla, but I cant find anywhere where I would...

[Inferno]

Not sure about the markers but I believe all you need is a blank animation named biped_stand and make chunk in guerrilla for a stand animation and set that to idle. That's what i do for vehicles at least and it works.

[klange]

You can ignore the head/body notices. They're just warnings (or, you can add a head and body marker to the model to shut it up). For the animations, just make sure it has a valid idle animation in its animation graph by exporting a JMA and setting it up.

[Hunter]

Errmmm.. WTF!?

[klange]

You broke a tag, clearly.

[Hunter]

:S All of the tags are working though. And why does it keep falling through the map?

[chrisk123999]

That's the same exact error I got when I left a BSP slot in the scenario file empty.

Pretty obviouse why you got the error Lol.
