TGEA 1.8.0 Bug (beta1) - Vehicles falling Through Terrain

by Randy Hearn - Magnum · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 11/22/2008 (5:12 pm) · 2 replies

I am having trouble placing vehicles, they all rotate down and fall through the terrain. May be related to the issue of the bounding box not aligning up.

    Actually after going back tonight and trying again I can duplicate this in 1.7 as well. Seems if all 4 wheels do not hit at about the same time it flips and falls through. Turning of BB and CNTR seems to help as with CNTR on it tries to place the buggy at its center point on the terrain which is above the wheels and that starts it falling through.

    So turning those off and careful placement works. Plus once I set the buggy on the terrain, I could toss it around and it would not fall through and no other issues.


    Maybe time to start porting:)
