Character re-scaling

by Ian Dale · in Torque Game Engine · 01/13/2005 (12:52 am) · 6 replies

I'm rescaling my main character when I create it to make it larger. All seems fine except when I approach a set of stairs. It seems I can move up them when I'm running towards them from a distance. But when I'm only a short distance away the character seems to get stuck.

I've checked the characters bounding box and it seems in proportion. Also, increased maxstepsize with no luck.

Are there any tricks to scaling players upwards that I may not be aware of. Any help appreciated.

The character I'm using is the one created by Tim Aste (the girl one).

Regards,




TGE 1.3, Lighting pack 1.2

You mean the one created by Joe Maruschak? Tim is about halfway through his first character model ever right now...

I would suggest adding an invisible collision brush that makes the stairs into a ramp, like George said.

How do I create an invisible collision brush? I tried putting one in my model and it removed all my DIF models collision.

Your scaling in your Modelling app or with script of somthing like that. The correct way would be to scale the model in the modelling app. To scale a player in game and have the actual deminsions register look here:
www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=3977

Just changing the scale in the script does not work correctly. Dont know if the MOD I recomended works first hand but from what is said about it I think it does.

Thanks Matthew, but doesn't this mod already exists in TGE 1.3?

Seems so! Scale the model in the modelling app.
