Problem with objects

by Jermaine Morgan · in Torque Game Engine · 08/02/2006 (11:58 am) · 7 replies

I am having a problem with adding this bridge to my game.
I am putting it in the shape file and everything. I just need to know how to make it solid so that the player can collide with it. Right now he only walks through it.

2. Also when i add move the model to the data shape file, its always listed as a static shape, instead of a regular shape.(is it suppose to be that way, until i add some code to it?



as you can see i have been search for collisions but i just need a push in the right direction.

Bounding box != Collision Mesh

To expand on what Cliff says, you need to set a collision mesh for your shape. A bounds object is not enough.

Lol, yes you can. Make a convex collision mesh and name it "collision-1".
