Multiple Collision Meshes, Not multiple collision details

by Demolishun · in Artist Corner · 05/21/2006 (12:03 pm) · 3 replies

I am working on a mecha style vehicle and the collision meshes are messing me up. I used to be able to have up to 3 collision meshes on a model at the same time. Now it seems to put them in 3 collision-n detail levels. Not sure what that means, but only one mesh is active at a time (collision-1). So my question is how to get the exporter to put 3 meshes so that they act at the same time. This is important as the vehicle needs to be able to walk over things or have vehicles/players go between its legs.

Thanks

    Torque vehicles only allow one active collision mesh due to the complexity of their collision detection scheme.

    You can get more than 1 collision mesh for a regular shape base. However, I am finding vehicles are more complex.
