player collision

by James Guard · in Torque 3D Professional · 01/26/2010 (1:48 pm) · 4 replies

I'm having a bit of trouble with the player collision, in game it seems to ignore the collision mesh I created and is using some kind of bounding box offset of the player. Does anyone know how to get the collision mesh that's in the model to work?

Player's are a "special case" and thus don't use collision meshes, they use bounding box (pain really, but there you go). You can mod the dimensions of the bounds in player.cs (art).

yikes, can you change the bounding box to other shapes like sphere, cylinder, etc primitives?

No.

But you can have the bounding box smaller than the actual object.

Hope that changes sometime in the near future. The bounding box is so...limited.
